Shipyard Orders

Atlantic Marine To Build

Cruise Vessels

Jacksonville, Fla.-based Atlantic

Marine has signed a contract with the1

Delta Queen Steamboat Co. of New

Orleans to construct the first two vessels for Delta Queen Coastal Cruises' pre- miere fleet of compact U.S. flag coastal ships.

Atlantic Marine will build two 300 ft. (91.4 m), 226-passenger cruise ships — with an option for a third vessel. Priced at $60 million each, and powered by two

Caterpillar engines driving two Schottel

Z-drives, the first newbuild is scheduled for delivery in March 2001. Its sister- ship is slated to enter service in June 2001.

The Seattle firms of Guido Perla &

Associates and Andrea Piacentini

Design (the latter as the interior design- er), will mix historical ambiance with contemporary shipbuilding and modern safety technology. Both ships will boast

New England Federal-style and nautical furnishings, along with first-class amenities.

Tentative itineraries include: East

Coast cruises beginning or concluding in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Portland,

Maine, Boston and New York City — to a name a few. As well as round-trip

Pacific Northwest excursions from San

Francisco to Anchorage and Juneau,

Alaska; Seattle, Wash, and Portland,

Ore.

U.S. Army Corps Proposes

Towboat Acquisition

The Marine Design Center (MDC) of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) plans to obtain an inland river style towboat for the purpose of serving the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers St.

Louis District (CELMS) in its next mis- sion.

With measurements of 51x19 ft (15.5 x 5.7 m ), and a design draft of 5.3 ft (1.6 m) the towboat will have an approx- imate total of 880 hp. The vessel will be used to provide towing and tender ser- vice to other district plants and will be suitable for year-round operation in both shallow, and ice and drift-strewn rivers of the Mississippi Navigation System.

Designed, built and classed to ABS rules for Steel Vessels on Rivers and

Intracoastal Waterways, the vessel will be a twin-screw open propeller diesel with an all-welded steel hull and super- structure.

Derecktor Shipyards To Build

High Speed Catamaran

Derecktor Shipyards, located in

Mamaroneck, N.Y., is scheduled to deliver a 135-ft. (41 m) high speed cata- maran ferry to the Woods Hole

Steamship Authority in May 2000. The vessel, a larger version of the yard's

NGA 125-ft (38 m) passenger catama- rans, will be powered by Paxman diesel engines driving Kamewa water jets to achieve a speed of 36 knots at its full 300 passenger capacity.
