摘要：	TAI Engineers LLC, New Orleans, has completed the detailed design and construction of a new utility vessel for the National Park Service (NPS).The NPS named the all-steel passenger/utility vessel Annie Moore after the first immigrant, a 15-year-old Irish girl, who signed the Ellis Island register."TAI has designed and built many boats and ships, but this project is particularly special to me," said Anil Raj, president of TAI. "My very first arrival to the United States was via New York in 1969. While landing at JFK, the Pan American airline pilot tipped the plane wings and announced a view of the Statue of Liberty from the window. He stated that she was welcoming new immigrants to 'liberty and justice for all in the U.S.' I feel especially privileged that our company was a part of this project."One of the duties of the Annie Moore is to transport national and international dignitary guests to the Statue of Liberty. The 74- by 24-foot vessel is ready to serve the NPS to transport VIPs, official passengers, supplies and equipment to Ellis Island from Battery Park, N.Y. The vessel has seating for 40 passengers and a galley on the main deck. A knuckle boom crane is provided for loading/unloading of palletized cargo.
