Project Overview:

“The NYC Ferry service provides a new way to travel between waterfront communities throughout New York City. Launched in May 2017 , six routes span over 60 nautical miles of waterways, connecting Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. And the entire ferry network is powered by Baudouin marine propulsion engines.” “The NYC Ferry project has been a huge success. Originally expected to carry around 4.5 million passengers annually, in the first year of service the figure actually exceeded 9 million, double the original projection. To meet demand, Hornblower ordered new vessels, expanding the fleet and increasing the number of routes and piers. Baudouin engines are now fitted to a total of 27 Hornblower vessels, providing regular services on all of the routes.”

“Baudouin makes marine engines. They don’t make truck engines, they don’t make crane engines, and we needed a specialist” “Baudouin’s M26.3 engine line meets EPA Tier 3 emission standards, and is easily serviceable in the boats.”
