CURRITICK provides navigation relief from storms
The CURRITUCK hopper dredge is a vessel within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ maritime fleet based out of Wilmington, North Carolina. This vessel works in the shallow-draft ocean bar channels along the Atlantic coast. In addition to removing dredged material from the channel, the CURRITUCK can transport the material to the downdrift beach and deposit it in the surf zone to nourish sand-starved beaches.
