The Mobile District has and maintains numerous pieces of major floating equipment, commonly called plant, to perform various missions throughout the district's many projects. The district's floating plant supports navigation, which includes snagging and debris removal from channels, buoy placement, pile driving and dredging; support for locks by setting stoplogs that prevent water from leaking into a lock and allows lock repair work; patrol, search and rescue to safeguard the public at the district's  projects; and it provides support in the maintaining of the district's many projects.

Below are links to the Mobile District's major pieces of floating plant. If you would like more detailed information on any of the vessels just click on the vessel's name to open a PDF which contains pictures, a mission description and specifications of the respective vessel.
