Federal grant puts diesels in seiner; Maine yard busy with repowers

摘要

In March, the Providian was tied up at the wharf of New England Fish Co. in Portland, Maine, where the last bit of work was being done after the seiner-trawler's two 1,500-hp Detroit Diesel 16V-149 main engines had been pulled out at Fore River Dock and Dredge in South Portland. They were replaced with a pair of 1,500-hp MTU 12V4000 M54 engines obtained with a $749,713 grant administered through the Maine Department of Environmental Protection's Maine Clean Marine Engine Program.
