U.S.-based inland waterways shipping company Ingram Marine Group on Wednesday held a ceremony to christen the Adrienne M. Moore and honor of the soon-to-be-completed Tom Cornwell. The sister towboats are the first of 10 vessels that Cenac Marine and Main Iron are under contract to build for Ingram Marine.
The twin-screw 78’x32’x10’ vessels are designed by Main Iron Works, Ingram Marine Group and Ashraf Degedy PE. Each is powered by Caterpillar C32 Tier 3 rated main engines (Adrienne M. Moore s are rated at 800hp each, and Tom Cornwell s are 1000hp each) with John Deere 99kw Northern Lights C series generators. The newbuilds are fitted with Michigan special propellers, furnished by Houma Machine and Propeller (Adrienne M. Moore s propellers are 76”x62”, and Tom Cornwell s are 76”x68”).
