I also like having the chance to work with all the different crews – the bank grading unit, the Dredge Hurley, the Jadwin, the Gruggett… also I like being able to help out with moving barges for the Yards and Docks unit, assist with drydocking…. It just feels good to help out in little ways but make big improvements for the future.”
