The 112′ Steel Passenger Research Vessel, Enhydra, formerly known as the Niagara
Clipper, represents a cutting-edge maritime exploration platform designed to
facilitate scientific research and accommodate passengers. With its sturdy steel
construction, the vessel is well-equipped to navigate a variety of marine
environments, ensuring both safety and stability during research missions.
Enhydra boasts a length of 112 feet, providing ample space for scientific
equipment, laboratories, and comfortable accommodations for passengers
interested in participating in research activities.
Originally named the Niagara Clipper, the vessel underwent a transformation and
was rebranded as Enhydra, aligning with its focus on research and environmental
exploration. This shift underscores the vessel’s commitment to advancing marine
science and fostering educational opportunities.
In 2022, the Enhydra secured funding from the state of California to undergo a
comprehensive repowering initiative. This project involved the installation of
two new engines and two generators, a crucial step to ensure compliance with the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) Type 3 Regulations. By upgrading its
propulsion system and power generation capabilities, Enhydra not only meets the
current regulatory standards but also positions herself as a technologically
advanced vessel ready to navigate evolving environmental regulations in the
future.
The repowering efforts underscore Enhydra’s commitment to sustainability and
environmental responsibility. By adhering to CARB Type 3 Regulations, the vessel
minimizes its carbon footprint and contributes to the broader goal of reducing
emissions in the maritime industry. This strategic investment in compliance not
only enhances the vessel’s environmental credentials but also reflects a
forward-looking approach, ensuring that Enhydra remains at the forefront of
regulatory requirements, making her a reliable and environmentally conscious
player in the maritime sector for years to come.
