Gravity water thawing boosts Otter Creek dredges profits
The Riley Investment Co and Deaton & Donnelly abandon steam thawing for gravity water on Otter Creek dredges, trimming labor and fuel costs. Savings include 12 to 15 cords of wood daily and at least 50,000 dollars in daily operating reductions per dredge. Both ships run steadily, with cleanups near 20,000 dollars last Saturday and expectations of higher proceeds as ground improves.
