Following five months of work, Three Rivers Marine & Rail Terminals' mv. Lady Louise is within a month of completing its re-hulling at Superior Marine in South Point, Ohio. The harbor vessel, built in 1976 as the mv. Chief Powhatan Ⅱ by Marine Builders Inc., of Clarksville, Ind., for North American Coal Corporation, is being cropped and renewed. Weather-tight doors are being installed, and some work is also being completed on the house section of the boat. In addition, the wheels have been reconditioned and the shafts remade. New tubes and a new stern structure are also going in. "Essentially, we're rebuilding the boat around the propellers and the internal structure," said Justin Apgar, director of shipbuilding and compliance for Superior Marine. He expects the work on the boat, which began in April, to be completed the second week in October. Mike Manning, operations manager for the Glassport, Pa., location of Three Rivers Marine, said Three Rivers has been extremely pleased with the work completed on the boat. |
