Work to be completed under this contract consists of dredging a sand trap and a portion of the rubble spoil shoal and disposal of the dredge material in the Port Everglades Harbor Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS). Dredging operations are anticipated to commence on October 22, 2025, and will take place 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With an estimated completion date of July 18, 2027. The DREDGE 54, along with DREDGE NEW YORK which will start on or about December 18, 2025, are planned to collectively dredge more than 400,000 CY of material from the north side of the Port Everglades entrance channel, immediately seaward of the north jetty and beach north of the inlet. The dredges would appreciate slow bell passing. While approaching the jetty dredging work area location. The material will be placed into scows and towed to the Port Everglades Harbor ODMDS, which is located approximately 3.1 nautical miles northeast of the entrance to Port Everglades Channel, outside of State Waters. There is a project tow route between Red Buoy 2 and the ODMDS CenterPoint. Fishermen and trawlers should be aware of limited mobility for tug and scow transits. Small-Vessel Captains should take caution to avoid passing between the scow and towing tug while under transit. While not always visible at a distance, there is a large steel-tow cable that passes between the bow of the scow and the stern of the towing tug. The survey vessel, Pearl River, will conduct survey operations of the ODMDS disposal area and work area corridors (during daylight hours/7 days per week). A crew transfer vessel, the Cooper River, will transfer crew between the shoreside boarding location at Bahia Mar Yachting Center and the dredging equipment.
