Caterpillar-Powered Passenger Ferry Delivered By Moss Point Marine To State Of North Carolina Moss Point Marine, Inc., Esca- tawpa, Miss., has delivered the Car- teret, a new 161-foot ferry to the State of North Carolina. The vessel can transport 200 passengers and 30 autos. The $2.7-million, all-steel Carter- et is 161 feet long, with a 50-foot beam and 12.5-foot depth. Built to U.S. Coast Guard stan- dards from a design provided by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the ferry features an "island" type superstructure with two decks dedicated to passen- ger seating, lounges, and rest rooms, topped by a pilothouse with fore and aft control stations. Vehicles enter the main deck level from the bow or stern, park in two lanes on either side of the island superstructure, and exit from the opposite end. The Carteret will operate in the Pamlico Sound between Cedar Is- land and Ocracoke Island. The new ferry is powered by two Caterpillar 3412 DI-TA diesel en- gines developing a total of 1,249 bhp. They drive two 54-inch four- blade bronze propellers through Twin Disc reverse/reduction gears. Electrical power is provided by two 120-kw generators driven by two Caterpillar 3306 BT engines. They power the Matthews Marine Systems electric/hydraulic steering gear which guides the boat. Addi- tional maneuverability is provided by a Michigan Jastram 34-inch- diameter bow thruster driven by a Detroit Diesel 4-71 engine through Twin Disc reverse/reduction gears. The main deck can accommodate 50 passengers and the upper deck has enclosed seating for 23 and open deck bench seating for 20. The up- per deck also includes a crew lounge with a small galley.
