DeJong and Lebet, Inc., assisted Hornblower's in-house design / engineering team on the conversion of this vessel from conventional diesel propulsion to a hybrid-propulsion ferry vessel. This was part of several hybrid vessels we assisted Hornblower with design, engineering, and USCG Certifications. Our part included weight and stability analysis, advising on and facilitating USCG approval of the complicated electrical system, and various other USCG certification issues.
