UKD Sealion – the brand-new £1.5 million vessel of UK Dredging, Associated British Ports’ (ABP) dredging division – has embarked on her first contract since being officially named in March.

The vessel, which was christened by Mrs Gunilla Lerenius, wife of Bo Lerenius, Group Chief Executive of ABP Holdings PLC, at the Port of Cardiff on 11 March 2003, is currently undertaking a 45-day bed-levelling and buoy-maintenance contract in Southampton. She is, afterwards, scheduled to carry out a bed-levelling contract at Plymouth.

Jeff Neale, General Manager, UK Dredging, said:

“UKD Sealion’s spring campaign has begun in earnest. She is already very much in demand, and her arrival means that her sister-vessel, UKD Seahorse is more readily available to carry out additional third-party works.”

UKD Sealion, a multicat dredging-support vessel, was built by Damens Shipyards in Romania.
