Focus on Marine Projects

Baird Maritime

We once again highlight the ever-important marine projects industry by reviewing a lineup of vessels serving numerous purposes. Aside from the usual dredgers, also featured are maintenance workboats and offshore installation vessels, some of which are now in operation in the Far East.

Dredging and Land Reclamation • Maritime Infrastructure Development • Installation and Decommissioning • Maritime Surveying • Port Development • Offshore Wind Farm Development

Interestingly, many of this week's reviewed vessels are noticeably large in size and even boast significant carrying capacities, reflecting the type and the scale of some of today's marine construction projects.
