The 68′×28.4′ Atlantic Endeavor crew transfer vessel (CTV) was recently delivered to Atlantic Wind Transfers (AWT). The vessel, built by Blount Boats Inc., Warren, R.I., will support Dominion Energy's Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) pilot wind farm. UK-based Chartwell Marine designed the CTV and oversaw the vessel's construction. AWT opted to equip the vessel with advanced surveying equipment to prepare for future operations in the region, supporting wind farm owners and operators such as Dominion Energy as additional generation capacity comes online. Portland, Maine-based Casco Bay Lines will soon begin construction on a new ferry that will use innovative battery technology. The ferry will be powered by a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system that will make Casco Bay Lines one of the first U.S. public passenger ferry systems to fully utilize such technology that will eliminate up to 800 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually, the ferry operator said. The recommended design is a 164′×40′×12′, double-ended ferry capable of carrying up to 599 passengers and 15 cars. Fincantieri Marine Group has partnered with BMT to design and build a cable ship replacement for the Navy. |
