With the first quarter of 2011 behind us, DSC is proud to report that business has returned to what it was before the national recession. Almost eight months after taking delivery of their new 24” cutter suction dredge, the Port of New Orleans reports the honeymoon phase has yet to wear off. The Port is especially pleased with the significant fuel savings the new dredge provides. The 24” cutter suction dredge uses one-third of fuel the Port was used to consuming, while producing at a much higher rate. The Port is quite proud of the significant savings as the cost of fuel continues to rise.
