Comfort arrival expedites dredgers

Dredgers are on an expedited mission to begin dredging NYC's Manhattan Cruise Terminal Berth 4 in anticipation of the arrival of the Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort, which will dock there to assist area hospitals overrun by the coronavirus. Dredging contractor Donjon Marine sprang into action, hurrying a dump scow out of drydock 10 days early, and moving its Delaware Bay dredge and two other scows from current projects into position. Donjon is moving crew and supplies in and out of Manhattan via shuttle boats from Jersey City, N.J. (Source: Marine Link 03/26/20)
