Waterway Dredging

Environmentally-Sound Dredging

​

October 1 through May 31 is the legal dredging season in our region.

Our knowledge of the waterways around Long Island Sound, marine industry standards and practices, and environmental regulations helps us set proper expectations for our clients.  Gwenmor Marine Contractors of Mystic, Connecticut is ideally positioned for dredging projects from Buzzards Bay to New York.  Our family’s years of dredging experience in the coastal waters of New England has given us a deep understanding of what it takes to complete challenging projects in harsh winter conditions and tidal waterways.

Our experience in the marine construction industry has been passed down from generation to generation, and we have learned the intricacies of dredging in these regions during restricted and non-restricted permit conditions.  Our past project experience includes the following:

​

  • Far-shore and near-shore environmental clamshell bucket dredging

  • Dredged material decanting & dewatering, transportation and disposal

  • Turbidity control systems

  • Offshore disposal

  • Upland disposal

  • Dredging in depths up to 65 feet

  • Marine support for tugs and barges

 

In an effort to be on the forefront of safety awareness, we maintain both a Towing Safety Management System as well as a Dredge Safety Management System.  These systems are USCG, Sub M and ISM compliant.  In addition to operating in a safe and ethical manner, we also employ the use of the latest state of the art electronic equipment while operating our dredges and tugboats.

Recovery Salvage

Disaster Recovery Salvage

​

Salvage refers to any emergency on-water situation that requires the rescue of a vessel from danger or peril,  including but not limited to, hard groundings and sinking. Salvage and Recovery Services include but are not limited to:  Sinking Boats, Hard Groundings, Diving Services, Sunken Boats and Burned Boats.

Gwenmor can provide a number of services:

​

  • Marine Salvage Recovery

  • Recovery Services on Land

  • Coastal Towing to Port

  • Underwater Recovery

  • Wreck Removal


Our salvage equipment, vessels and crew are fully mobile and ready for immediate deployment, whenever and wherever we are needed. We use soft rigging and air liftbags to prevent any additional damage to your vessels during salvage operations. 
Gwenmor will work to assist you through the whole process, even after we have refloated your vessel and gotten you back to port. We will help guide you through the insurance claims process and work directly with your insurance company.

​

Sometimes a vessel cannot be salvaged due to fire or extreme damage from weather or collision. Gwenmor’s team can work to remove the wrecked vessel and will make arrangements for disposal of the vessel. The liability section of a comprehensive boat insurance policy provides many coverages that are important to boat owners. Coverage for the removal or disposal of the wreck of your boat is important to have, especially if the wreck is deemed to be a hazard to navigation.
