A tug holding block for coupling a tug and a dredge includes a tug receiving portion configured to attach to the tug, ensuring a secure and stable connection. The tug holding block includes a pivotable coupling that facilitates attachment to the dredge, allowing for flexible movement and alignment between the tug and dredge during operation. The dredge may include a trailing suction hopper dredge having a split hull hopper scow configured to split relative to the stationary tug holding block. This configuration enhances the operational efficiency and maneuverability of the tug and dredge system, providing a reliable and adaptable solution for maritime applications. A dredging system including the tug holding block, a dredge, and a tug is provided along with a method of dredging using the dredging system.
