摘要

Jacksoville, Fl-based naval architects and marine engineering firm DeJong & Lebet, Inc., has won a contract to design a new 600-passenger riverboat for operations on the Mississippi River. The riverboat will be built for the New Orleans Steamboat Co. Dejong & Lebet's Andy Lebet tells Marine Log that the new river steamer will be a traditional powered vessel, with Tier 3 engines, props and built to U.S. Coast Guard Sub-chapter K requirements. The riverboat will also be fitted with a full galley and dining rooms on three decks, in keeping with New Orleans Steamboat Co.'s aim of offering top-notch cuisine.
