Donjon Marine refloats carferry
Donjon Marine was awarded a job in late March to refloat the 277-foot ex-Staten Island, New York carferry Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. The vessel sank in the Hudson River while in layup in Newburg, New York. After almost four weeks of patching and test-pumping the submerged hull, and with the use of Donjon’s 1,000-ton-capacity derrick barge Chesapeake 1000 to stabilize the vessel during refloating, the ferry was refloated and returned to its owners.
