All American Marine repowers Alaska tour boat

摘要

In 2004, Stan Stephens Glacier & Wildlife Cruises was looking for a new vessel to add to its fleet, one that would allow more passengers to go farther faster, exposing more people to the region while lowering fuel costs and its overall environmental impact on local wildlife. The Valdez, Alaska-based company eventually contracted All American Marine, Bellingham, Wash., to build the 149-passenger, 83'×29.2', Teknicraft-designed catamaran Valdez Spirit in 2005. Fifteen years later, Colleen Stephens runs the company and she looked to All American Marine yet again to repower the Valdez Spirit, looking for greater fuel efficiency and overall performance.
