Much of Tarheel's progress this month is aligned tightly with Blue View, as they share the same day for engine installation at the end of this month.
The machine tunnel decks were installed in August, and we now move towards the layout and installation of interior walls: carling laminating and installation won't be far behind.
Generator shelves are being fit and installed in the engine room, as our paint crew works diligently to bring the space to final paint conditions - clean and shiny, just in time to receive her pair of engines - two MTU M96L 12Vs, each with 1920 hp. In the lazarette area, the gyro surround is up and nearly ready for primer. Next, we work to fit the mufflers and tailpipes. Once her engines are in, Tarheel's development will move fast - with an aim to christen this build next summer. Stay tuned!
