THE COMPANY:

Glosten is an employee-owned, full-service consulting ? rm of naval architects, marine engineers, electri- cal engineers, and ocean engineers.

Founded in 1958, the ? rm specializes in commercial and public sector ves- sels including research vessels, passen- ger/car ferries, tugs, barges, dredges, and special purpose platforms. Servic- es include hull, structural, mechani- cal, and electrical systems design, as well as construction management.

THE CASE:

For over 55 years, Glosten has deliv- ered innovative marine solutions root- ed in a comprehensive understanding of all things marine. With solutions ranging from an ice-capable research vessel design to a cutter suction dredge repower, Glosten’s depth and breadth of experience spans every sector of the marine industry. The ? rm supports the marine and offshore industry with engineers who have seagoing, salvage and shipyard experience. In 2012, Foss

Maritime engaged Glosten to execute a new design for arctic class tugboats capable of worldwide ocean towing service – from concept through de- tailed production design. With a focus on environmental stewardship, the challenge was to improve operational and environmental performance while reducing routine maintenance. The ? rst of three vessels was christened this past April as the Michele Foss.
