PrimeBMD held the inauguration for our new marine vessels, IHC Beaver 50 Cutter Suction Dredge and DMC 1200 Workboat, last August 23. While brief, the ceremony was momentous for the whole team, including the owners and leaders of BMD who travelled all the way from Australia to witness this occasion.
Jeff Gallus, PrimeBMD’s CEO, gave a simple yet eloquent speech with insights on the history and naming of the boats. Denise and Mick Power also performed the smashing of champagne bottles onto the vessels – an honored tradition in ceremonial ship launching to invite good luck. And of course, the event wouldn’t be complete without a hearty feast to celebrate the inauguration.
The dredging operations for International Container Terminal Services, Inc. officially commenced on September 1. Let’s all support our team for this project’s success!
