The repowering of the Herbert C Jackson involved two distinct major undertakings: the deconstruction of the existing power plants and ancillary equipment, and the installation of a completely new engine room. The endeavor was completed in only nine months, and included 81 unique system drawings.

For the repowering project, the Fraser team:
  • Installed and aligned two MaK M32E engines, each weighing 95,429 pounds.
  • Installed and aligned a Lufkin reduction gearbox weighing 80,000 pounds.
  • Engineered and constructed new decks, bulkheads, tankage, and completely renewed electrical controls and generation capacity.
  • Replaced over 86,000 pounds of steel in the hull and other structures.
  • Purchased and staged in excess of $2 million of inventory, and warehoused and staged in excess of $5 million of customer provided materials.
  • Invested in excess of 130,000 team member hours.
