Abstract
The Energy Independence, first coal-fired collier built in America in over 30 years, was delivered to the New England Collier Company on August 6, 1983. In her first year of operation she has brought nearly 2½ million tons of coal from the coal fields surrounding Chesapeake Bay to New England power plants at Salem and Brayton Point. This innovative vessel embodies advanced technology in both its power generation and cargo systems, and, as its name implies, represents an important new resource to the New England power consumer. This paper reviews the initial design requirements, the design development, and the trial and post-delivery performance of Energy Independence.
