Conrad to Build Two Tugs for the US Army Corps of Engineers
Conrad Shipyard has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to design and build two tugboats for use in the Great Lakes.
The two CELRE Detroit Ice Class tugs will be used for the mobilization of floating equipment on the St. Mary’s River, upper Great Lakes and the Soo Harbor, as well as breaking ice up to 12 inches thick and performing ice scraping operations at the St. Mary’s Falls Canal.
Conrad won out among five bidders for the $16,983,710 firm-fixed-price contract.
Shipbuilding work will be performed in Morgan City, La., with an estimated completion date of December 26, 2024.
