Caterpillar engines developing 1,750 hp at 1,800 rpm, the boat will operate at a top speed of 28 knots. The Caterpillar engines will drive propel- lers through 2.5449:1 ZF 460 marine gears.

Notable features to be incorporated in the vessel include Twin Disc's Power Commander engine controls with monitors at two control stations. Ride control involves the Koop Nautic

Sea Rocq 2030 system. The system, from The

Netherlands, reduces roll and corrects for list- ing, and incorporates electronic gyro, AVA sen- sor, and 9.5-sq.-ft. fins.

The exterior arrangement is designed to allow easy passenger movement between decks via exterior stairways port and starboard. Mr. Rust said this plan will allow more passengers on deck when the vessel tours the glaciers and bird rookeries found in the park. The "Portuguese

Bridge" design will also allow passengers walk- way in front of the wheelhouse.

The Alaskan Explorer will join a number of other Westport FRP/Airex excursion vessels op- erating out of Seward.
