The U.S. Coast Guard recognized Matt Tessier, Chief, Navigation Section, for his outstanding work on the Boston Harbor Maintenance Dredging Project.
Rear Admiral Andrew Tiongson, Commander, First Coast Guard District, honored Tessier by presenting him with the U.S. Coast Guard Meritorious Public Service Award during the U.S. Coast Guard Night at the Propeller Club in the Port of Boston, April 11, 2019.
According to the citation, Tessier received the award, “for his outstanding public service and significant contributions to Coast Guard missions in the Port of Boston from March 2016 to March 2019.”
Most notably, Tessier was recognized for his organizational leadership that resulted in the successful completion of the $14 million Boston Inner Harbor Maintenance Dredging Project and the 90-foot-deep Confined Aquatic Disposal Cell.
Tessier devised a comprehensive set of well-synchronized plans for safe and secure transits. He successfully collaborated his effort with the Coast Guard, the New England District, Massachusetts Port Authority, State Pilots, Docking Pilots and the contractor, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard also praised Tessier’s management and leadership skills on the ongoing Boston Harbor Dredging and Improvement Deepening Project. Once completed, the project will allow large container ships and cruise ships to enter the Port of Boston and will add more than $4.6 billion in economic activity currently generated by the port.
The award states, “Mr. Tessier’s dedication and devotion to the safety, security and facilitation of the Maritime Transportation in the Port of Boston are most heartily commended, and are in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard.”
