This is a big dredge . The entourage ended up on the Delaware River

That's one heck of a contraption.

That is for sure . They don't get any bigger than this in these parts
.


Got to wonder if this is to prepare the east coast ports for the expected
super sized ships (neo-Panamax ships) that will use the expanded Panama
canal locks . (third set of locks 180foot wide )

There is some deepening going on in the Delaware River were the TEXAS
is now , but even with out that the channel needs constant attention
or it starts to fill back in with mud . It costs a fortune to keep the
rivers dredged throughout the entire country .
