The engines were inspected and tested by Detroit Diesel technicians and their documentation indicates that the engines are within 10% of being brand new. Relatively low hours were logged on the engines as the vessel's use was winding down after her conversion from steam to diesel. The steam boilers are still on board and could either be used for running large equipment, i.e., huge watermakers, etc., or they could be removed providing a large area for another purpose.Equipment:Twin EMD Detroit Diesels, 12-567 EA-S, 2 x 1245 hpAuxiliary diesels, 750 hp Caterpillar 250 kW generator, in process of being fully rebuiltCaterpillar 250 kW generator, very good conditionEmergency generator, 125 kW, with newly rebuilt Detroit 671 dieselGE 600 hp Bow thruster, articulating, variable speed, DC electric, runs off PTO from main engines; this unit can be used as an emergency propulsion systemNew water separators All new sewage pumpsAll new potable water pumpsNew or rebuilt valvesSpecial "Navy" type bilge compartment control system Full machinery shop with lathes, milling machines, welding equipment, etc. Full air conditioning, 4 units6,000 gal/day Watermakers Manuals for all equipment
