The Greek-flagged cable laying vessel Ariadne is back on the North River for the first time in a while, after I believe spending most of this year working in the North Sea or Baltic. She is returning for the final construction stages of the Champlain Hudson Power Express, a cable which will bring much-needed hydro-generated electricity from Quebec to New York City beginning early next year. Based on USCG local notices, it seems like Ariadne will be working on the section north of Spuyten Duyvil into the Harlem River in August and moving North as we move into fall.
