EBDG Wins Contract To Repower And Modify Spirit of Endeavour Alaska Sightseeing/Cruise West (AS/CW) of Seattle has awarded a contract to Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) for engineering services on the repowering and modification of M/V Spirit of Endeavour. The 207-ft. (63-m), 107- passenger vessel is scheduled to begin Seattle- to-Alaska Inside Passage service in April 1997. AS/CW operates eight small passenger vessels to Alaska and West coast destinations, includ- ing Canada's Inside Passage, California wine country, Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, and the Columbia/Snake Rivers. The contract calls for EBDG to provide con- tract and detail engineering for major equip- ment replacements and vessel enhancements required to prepare Spirit of Endeavour for her new role. The naval architecture and marine engineer- ing firm will also provide stability testing and analysis to comply with SOLAS regulations. Repowering will be done with a pair of 1,500- bhp Caterpillar 3512 DITA diesels, coupled with Reintjes WAF-741 3.039:1 reduction and reversing gears. These will drive 56-in., 4-blade nozzle propellers by Nautican of Vancouver, B.C., along with Nautican's triple rudder sys- tem. Also to be installed are two CAT 3408B DITA diesel gensets with 350-kW generators, a 60- kW emergency genset and a new emergency switchboard. A fog sprinkler system by Novenco-HiPres of Denmark will be fitted throughout the accommodations and public spaces. Significant hull modifications will be made, with the addition of a bulbous bow and a stern fairing designed for wave reduction and increased fuel efficiency. The modifications are being designed in conjunction with the University of British Columbia, with tank test- ing for designed optimization conducted at B.C. Research. Work has commenced on the vessel at Seattle's Pacific Fisherman boatyard, and is expected to be completed this fall.
