Christening of the Neptune’s built Dredger Emerald Duchess for PD Ports

Christening of the Neptune’s built Dredger Emerald Duchess for PD Ports

Last week was the christening of the Emerald Duchess. The christening ceremony was attended by 250 people from across Teesside’s river community, business and education leaders and maritime experts.

The vessel’s godmother is Sue Green, who has served PD Ports as the Harbour Master’s secretary for almost 40 years, during which time she has supported the wide range of stakeholders who work on and around the river.

The ceremony on the riverside Ro-Ro terminal at Teesport saw a bottle of champagne successfully smashed on the Emerald Duchess’ striking green hull, following a blessing delivered by the port chaplain Deacon Peter Barrigan.

We are very proud to be part of this and we would like to thank PD Ports very much.
