He said: "Although we reported solid results in the first quarter of 2022, we did not fully meet our expectations as we experienced delays from abnormal weather events, production impacts, and some lingering costs from the COVID-19 pandemic that diminished as the quarter progressed." While the income and revenue numbers increased, Lasse Petterson, President and Chief Executive Officer said the result was a solid one, but still below expectations. The income increase was driven by higher operating income and lower interest expense, offset partially by higher income tax expense, the company said. The higher revenue in the first quarter of 2022 was due to higher domestic capital and coastal protection revenue, offset partially by a decrease in revenue from maintenance dredging, rivers and lakes, and foreign projects. Revenue for the quarter was $194.3 million, an increase of $16.7 million from the first quarter of 2021. I find nothing in the Court's opinion to the contrary.Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation reported a first-quarter net income of 11.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 an increase compared to first-quarter 2021 income of $8.8 million. Rather, the court should engage in the usual supplemental jurisdiction and impleader inquiries. I do not, however, understand the Court's opinion to suggest that, having found admiralty jurisdiction over a particular claim against a particular party, a court must then exercise admiralty jurisdiction over all the claims and parties involved in the case. The possible involvement of other, nonmaritime parties does not affect the jurisdictional inquiry as to the maritime party. The Court properly holds that, when a court is faced with a case involving multiple tortfeasors, some of whom may not be maritime actors, if one of the putative tortfeasors was engaged in traditional maritime activity alleged to have proximately caused the incident, then the supposedly wrongful activity "involves" traditional maritime activity. I concur in the Court's judgment and opinion.
