separate engine rooms.

Maneuverability will be enhanced by ap rudders, a sternthruster and bowthruster with “take home” power. Each ship will have a range of 11,000 miles at 18 knots. Cummins will provide ship’s service power.

NSMVs will help to sustain worldclass U.S. maritime training operations at the state maritime academies by equipping young U.S. mariners with the most modern and adaptable training platform. The ships will feature numerous instructional spaces, a full training bridge and have space for up to 600 cadets to train in a rst-rate maritime academic environment at sea.

“TOTE Services is proud to join Marad, Philly Shipyard, and the Texas A&M Aggies to celebrate the start of construction of this new vessel that will be used to help train the next generation of of cers at the only maritime academy on the Gulf Coast,” TOTE Services President Jeff Dixon said in prepared re- marks. “This vessel will vastly enhance Texas A&M’s degree programs and give the academy a ship that can hold its entire program in a single cruise, providing cadets the opportunity to become skilled in shiphandling, decision-making, and unexpected challenges with the type of camaraderie that cannot be replicated in a classroom.”

Construction of the rst two vessels is well underway, with contracted delivery of NSMV I to SUNY Maritime College in 2023, NSMV II to Massachusetts Maritime Academy in 2024, and NSMV III to Maine Maritime Academy in 2024. Each ship will carry 600 cadets, 100 of cers, staff, and crew.

Bay Ship to build SOV for Crowley, Esvagt

Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding, Sturgeon Bay, Wis., will build a new 288.7'×57.7' HAV 832 service operations vessel (SOV) for

Crowley and Danish offshore maritime company Esvagt. The two companies will jointly operate the SOV under a long-term charter with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy

Dominion Energy said it plans to construct 176 14.7 MW Siemens Gamesa wind turbines and three offshore substations, generating enough clean, renewable energy to power up to 660,000 homes. Dominion said this would produce ve million tons per year less of carbon emissions compared with fossil fuel usage for power.

“We are proud to be associated with important ‘green’ projects like this,” Marco Galbiati, CEO of Fincantieri Marine Group, said in a statement. “The SOV market is one of the most
