Specially designed dredgehead on its first lowering through the ship’s well or Moon Pool*. The dredgehead was attached to flexible hose and finally coupled to 2,700 feet of 9-5/8” pipe with special couplings to withstand tremendous bending and stress loads. *Moon Pool is a term used by men on offshore oil rigs to describe the well cut in the vessel’s midship.
