www.marinelink.com MN 29 All American’s New Eco-Friendly Ferries All American Marine (AAM) recently completed and launched two new eco-friendly catamaran ferries in November 2010. The 72-ft custom designed sister ships will carry 149 passengers and feature indoor and outdoor seating on an East Coast commuter ferry route. The vessels were designed by Nic de Waal of Teknicraft Design and incorporate many green components. Green fea- tures include propulsion systems consisting of Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines fit with specialized CleanAIR Permit filters to reduce harmful emissions by up to 99%. Noise pollution is mitigated with acoustic foam insulation and critical grade mufflers. The cabin interiors are finished with recyclable alu- minum honeycomb wall panels and recyclable aluminum ceiling panels with acoustic insulation. The com- pleted vessels were coated with a low VOC paint system. Other amenities include ADA-friendly heads and Beurteaux seating.
