    MARINE NEWS - Continued from Page 3 On June 20, the Shell Canada fuel dock on the St. Clair River at Corunna was struck by the C. S.L. bulker SPRUCEGLEN and damage was done to the north end of the dock. Transport Canada investigated the incident but declined to lay any charges, saying that fog had been a fac­ tor in the incident. Damage was not as severe as back in November of 2006 when the wharf was struck by JOHN G. MUNSON. Fincantieri, an Italian shipbuilder, has agreed to purchase the Manitowoc Marine Group (which includes Marinette Marine Corporation and Bay Shipbuilding Company) from The Manito­ woc Company for some $120 million, with the deal to close at the end of the year. Fincan­ tieri is looking to invest in the modernization of both Lake Michigan shipyards. Marinette Marine has just completed its first Littoral Combat Ship, U. S. S. FREEDOM, which left the yard on July 28 for trials. During May, the Erie Shipbuilding Company began construction of a 135-foot tug which will be paired with a 740-foot barge whose building commences this summer. The pair will be comple­ ted late in 2009 and will operate in lake bulk trades. It is assumed that the barge will be similar to the similar-sized GREAT LAKES TRADER, which was built in Mississippi in 2000 for the VanEnkevort interests. The exact name of the company that will own the articulated tug- barge combination has not yet been revealed. The first vessel to be owned by Great Lakes Feeder Lines ULC, of Calgary, Alberta, is the 75.

  • ENCHANTED PRINCESS FLOATS out in MONFALCONE Trieste, August 6, 2019 – Enchanted Princess, the Fifth Royal-Class S
    FINCANTIERI: ENCHANTED PRINCESS FLOATS OUT IN MONFALCONE Trieste, August 6, 2019 – Enchanted Princess, the fifth Royal-class ship built for the ship operator Princess Cruises, a brand within Carnival Corporation, floated out today at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Monfalcone. Interior fittings will now begin, leading the vessel to its delivery, scheduled in 2020. The ceremony was attended by Firouz Mal, Princess Cruises director new build services, while Fincantieri was represented, among others, by Roberto Olivari, director of the shipyard in Monfalcone. The Godmother of the ceremony was Miss Marinella Cossu, a historic employee of the yard. The new unit, at 145,000 gross tons, is built on the basis of the successful sister vessel project of Royal Princess, Regal Princess, Majestic Princess and the upcoming Sky Princess, built and delivered in the same shipyard starting from 2013, introducing a new generation of ships so well- received by the cruise passengers. Like its sister ships, the vessel will represent a new technological benchmark in Europe and worldwide for its innovative layout, outstanding performances and the top quality of its state-of-the- art marine technology. It will be the best proof that innovation and customer care are fundamental levers in showcasing market leadership and will further consolidate Fincantieri’s long-time partnership with Carnival Corporation, the world's largest cruise ship operator and leisure travel company. The partnership between the Monfalcone yard and Princess Cruises will continue with two next- generation cruise ships. These will be the largest built so far in Italy with a gross-tonnage of 175,000 tons, expected to be delivered at the end of 2023 and in spring 2025.
