COURSE CORRECTION WITH WATERJETS
Sometimes, it just isn’t possible to beat Mother Nature.
When dredging couldn’t do the trick, NCDOT turned to a different kind of ferry, a new and improved business plan, and a propulsion system ready for all challenges. Ameri- can-built Thrustmaster waterjets will soon be solving NC-
DOT’s transport problems in the unpredictable and un- forgiving waters off the Outer Banks. And, if that solution can work there, then there probably aren’t too many more workboat challenges it can’t handle anywhere else. www.marinelink.com
