The Star Dieppe discharged cargo at the Port of Olympia and then anchored near Cooper Point for a few days while undergoing repairs. It is expected to sail on the high tide tonight or tomorrow.

It is not unusual for ships to require repairs while in port and the repairs would typically occur at the pier. However, due to the Port’s dredging project near the pier, the Star Dieppe anchored out in the channel during the repairs.

The follow-up dredging pass now underway is a requirement of the Army Corps of Engineers’ permit for the maintenance dredge which was completed in 2014. The purpose of the maintenance dredge was to restore the depth levels that help ensure safe operations at the pier. Both dredges also remove legacy pollution from the area.
