Virginian Leaving for Morehead City

Norfolk Dredging Company’s clamshell dredge Virginian will leave in midweek for the two-day trip to Morehead City North Carolina and a maintenance job at the North Carolina state port docks. Scheduled to begin the middle of the week of July 18 the project will likely include the Radio Island barge docks and the aviation fuel docks. The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a notice to mariners instructing people in the area to remove fishnets crab pots and structures before the work starts to call the dredge 30 minutes before passage and to stay clear of the dredge barges derricks and operating wires.
