The Buxton

A great personality and a huge heart describe both the dredge Buxton IIand her captain of 25 years. The heart of the Buxtonis a 1200 hp KTA-38 provided by Cummins-Bridgewayin Michigan. A pair of them, actually. And a pair of Cummins 5.9s, a 3.9, and an L-10. Throw in a pair of Detroit 3-71s, and the Buxton has something in the neighborhood of 3,500 hp at her disposal.

The King Companytakes good care of the Buxton II. She was recently overhauled by Cummins and when the repairs were finished, the decision was made to include Algae-X in line fuel conditioners for each engine on the boat. Maximized fuel efficiency, minimized downtime and labor associated with the fuel delivery system, and minimized stack emissions have been achieved. As a result, The Buxtonis happy to work hard, and she does so with very little fuss –which is a good deal when pumping 600 CY of muck an hour distances up to 18,000 feet!

Within its chosen fields of marine construction, hydraulic dredging, diving, and shipping, The King Companyhas the manpower, machinery and experienced talent to mobilize to virtually any location in the world. Whether working for the Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Coast Guard, or private industry, the primary goal of The King Companyis to accomplish quality work at a competitive price while maintaining the ability to be mobile and flexible.
