Conrad delivers 180-foot barge to McDonough

Conrad Shipyard has delivered the first of four ABS-class spud barges to McDonough Marine Service.
McDonough has its headquarters in Metairie.
The identical spud barges each measure 180 feet by 54 feet by 12.5 feet; have deck strength of 2,500 pounds PSF; and have four spud wells.
The remaining barges are on schedule for delivery in the third and fourth quarters of 2021. The barges are being constructed at Conrad’s Deepwater South facility in Amelia.

The company’s fleet consists of inland and ocean barges, including deck barges, spud and power spud barges, hopper barges and shale barges.
