She came into TYB for periodic maintenance, which included a pressure wash, anti-foul repairs to Aquamaster thrusters, and some minor corrosion repairs. Her hopper was also blasted and painted in readiness for a busy year ahead.
Thanks to the TYB and their top-tier work, the trailing suction hopper dredge has been well prepared for her next dredging season.
Built for precision and adaptability, the 50m Port Frederick is purpose-designed to operate where conventional dredgers can’t—handling shallow-draft work, environmentally sensitive areas, and logistically complex sites.
From regional port maintenance to remote marine infrastructure projects, this vessel leads McQuade Marine’s fleet in both capability and reliability.
