It features a custom-designed bow for cutting through the rough seas and all pump sluice and crane systems to conduct its gold dredging mission. The vessel was designed specifically to meet the unique requirements of dredging in the remote coastal waters of the Bering Sea. In the project’s final phase the team provided fuel water and controls design assistance along with support for deployment. In Phase II of the project the designers developed construction drawings for the hull and superstructure and finalized the weight and stability calculations. Naval architect Art Anderson Associates (AAA) of Bremerton Washington designed the dredge.ĪAA’s naval architects and marine engineers began by preparing a computer-generated model of the vessel based on concept drawings which formed the basis for initial hydrostatic and weight calculations. Pacifica is headquartered in Seattle Washington. Dredging is done by a diver operating a suction hose. The catamaran-style vessel is designed to work within a mile offshore in a maximum of 20 feet of water.
Equipment fabricator Pacifica has delivered a custom dredge for mining gold on a lease off the coast of Nome Alaska.
