The company’s vigorous focus to detail, arrange- ments, con? ict resolution, and structural design is well il- lustrated by the number of sister vessels built to their de- signs. Ten separate designs have seen sister vessels built for a total of 23 boats within the last 10 years.

THE CASE:

Within the last nine years, Gilbert Associates (GAI) has designed 12 different towboats to which 17 vessels have been built. Under construction at this moment is a 120 foot conventional towboat and a 120 foot tow boat with jack- ing pilothouse. Recently, Gilbert assisted in the design and powering improvements to the Eastern shipbuilding 90 for FMT.
