The Admiral Day
Admiral Day (Grab Hopper Dredger)
Originally built in 1971 The Admiral Day has been modernised and fully renovated by Wyre Marine to be the vessel she is today. She has been fitted with a long reach excavator and equipped with a range of buckets to enable dredging in a wide variety of materials. The hopper well is fitted with a grid to avoid debris being deposited at sea and discharges via hydraulically operated bottom doors.
