Pioneering Sustainability and Community Well-Being

Instead of diesel, electric dredges eliminate diesel engine air pollution and fuel spill water pollution. Additionally, electric dredges reduce noise pollution and comply with current or future Federal, State, and Local emissions, water, and noise statutes. Safety is paramount in all aspects of our operations.
