About this equipment
Original name ATLANTIC AMERICAN, renamed R.N. Weeks in 1993.
Following a failed sale, the current owners came into play – Dredging Atlantic Ltd of Nigeria purchased the vessel in the beginning of 2025.
With the vessel having been laid up for years, a full reactivation, classification and certification was required. Redwise was responsible for the full turnkey package: taking over, reactivation, taking out insurance and sailing the vessel under own power to Nigeria. The voyage was managed by REDWISE.
