EBDG Offers New Design

Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) of Seattle has developed a new design for a 300-pas- senger cruise ship designed to SOLAS stan- dards for "go-anywhere" use. EBDG envi- sions the concept as a U.S.-built vessel for coastal cruising, convention and destination- based markets.

The twin-screw ship would measure 365 x 64 ft. (Ill x 19.5 m) with a gross tonnage of 9,000 tons. A variety of propulsion options is considered, including medium speed diesels and steerable Z-drives with FP propellers, generating a cruising speed of about 17 knots. "Our idea is to bring many of the traditional cruise ship features into a smaller-scale vessel," said EBDG president

John Waterhouse.
