Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
The SS Badger is a nationally recognized historic marine vessel that has served Wisconsin and
Michigan for over fifty years Her operation between the port cities of Manitowoc WI and
Ludington MI provides memorable trips for tourists as well as critical transportation for the
delivery of commercial goods and serv~s to businesses local government and rural
communities It is an essential part of the Marine Highway infrastructure connecting two states
across Lake Michigan In these difficult economic times the SS Badger brings positive economic
support to both States in broad areas that range from regular commercial delivery of seasonal
crops increased tourism to surrounding communities as well as building materials and supplies
for rural businesses The Badger generates approximately $35 million dollars in revenue and
employs over 200 people The Badger has been owned and operated by Lake Michigan Carferry
Service LMC since 1991 during that time the ship has transported an average of 124000
passengers 39000 automobiles and 1100 commercial trucks annually Lake Michigan Carferry
Service is a privately ownedmiddotcompany started by Charles Conrad who brought the ferry
operation out of bankruptcy in 1991 and reoriented the service to focus on providing a
memorable maritime experience while avoiding the hassles associated with driving around Lake
Michigan
The Wisconsin Department of Energy has offered an opportunity to qualified applicants to
explore new methods of power for-marine vessels serving ports in Wisconsin The SS Badger is -~
uniquely qualified to receive this grant and will further the goals of the State of Wisconsin while
ensuring its steady contribution to the economy For over a decade the company officials have
been exploring an alternative to its coal furnace and steam propulsion system and LMC has
invested over $250000 of its own money to date It has been our goal to convert to a new
system that is ecologically sound and economically feasible After consulting experts in the
field investing company resources attending numerous scientific conferences and meeting
with maritime fuel and engineering vendors LMC is further committed to taking all
necessary steps to achieve a new and more environmentally friendly method of operation in
the near future
The 5S Badgers operating season averages 130 days each year each day the ship burns
approximately 55 tons of Iow sulfur coal to provide steam to the ships engines as well as
powering the ancillary systems onboard This coal usage generates approximately 38 tons of
ash which is mixed with water and ejected overboard while in transit across the lake The ash
is discharged while the ship is at least 5 miles offshore and in at least 100 of water The ash
has been tested by EPA approved laboratories and methods no hazardous materials were
detectable above background levels
Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
Up until 2008 it was believed that the Badgers historic importance as the last coal-fired steam
powered ship In the US would continue to make her exempt from existing environmental
regulations In 2008 that belief was changed when the EPA issued a revised Vessel General
Permit giving LMC until December of 3012 to eliminate the process of discharging ash into
the water LMC applied for fundJg from the TIGER II program in 2010 but was not awarded
any grant
In 2010 LMC was contacted by DTE Energy who suggested the possibility of converting the
coal-fired boilers to natural gas This conversion would eliminate the issue related to the ash
discharge as well as addressing the smoke coming from the stack and the Badger would be the
greenest ship on the Great Lakes LMC has been working with DTE Energy and numerous
other vendors on the engineering physical components and fueling aspects of this project
Internally we have invested over 1000 man hours in the natural gas conversion project which
includes trips to Washington DC Cleveland Houston and Seattle to consult with vendors or
attend conferences related to natural gas We have had a conceptual drawing of this project
created by Chapman Technical of Sturgeon Bay WI This drawing was presented to the
American Bureau of Shipping in Houston the ABS supports the plan and we were given their
approval to move forward with official engineering plans for this project
If awarded the grant funding from this program LMC would be prepared to move forward
with the engineering work in the first quarter of 2012 The engineering work must be
completed by a firm certified in naval architecturemarine engineering LMC has identified
the firm GR Bowler as qualified candidate who is familiar with similar types of conversions
The lMC Chief Engineer would work with the contracted engineers during their time on site
and would directly oversee their activities for the duration of the engineering work This
conversion should be very applicable to the other vessels faced with the need to covert their
fuel source LMC would be very willing to help apply what is learned during the engineering
phase as well as subsequent parts of the overall project As previously noted LMC has
already spent over $250000 of company money towards this conversion and this proposal
includes a 30 cost share by LMC
The attached technical drawing shows Compressed Natural Gas CNG as the fuel source there
is a possibility that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) could be used instead depending on how the
Infrastructure develops in our region The engineering work proposed here would be
applicable regardless ofthe form of gas To our knowledge a coal-fired steam ship has never
been converted to natural gas Therefore numerous challenges lie ahead including the design
of a fuel storage system and creating a refueling process We are confident that we will
implement natural gas as our fuel source which will enable the Badger to continue operating
Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
and will lead the way for other vessels in our industry with similar challenges
We ask that the consideration be given to the Badger as it stands as a class of one in maritime
history Over the years the ship has received numerous awards and deSignations from the
National Trust for Historic Preservation)er steam engines have been designated an
engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (see the attached list
for a full list of awards and designations) It is literally the last ship of its kind operating in the
United States By assisting in the beginning and essential steps for design ofthe conversion the
State of Wisconsin will preserve a piece of their own unique history for generations to come It
also provides an example ofthe good that comes for all when we choose to work together
with a joint vision of the future while respecting our past

The Wisconsin State Energy Office 201 W Washington Avenue 3rd Floor Madison WI 53703
Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
The SS Badger is a nationally recognized historic marine vessel that has served Wisconsin and
Michigan for over fifty years Her operation between the port cities of Manitowoc WI and
Ludington MI provides memorable trips for tourists as well as critical transportation for the
delivery of commercial goods and serv~s to businesses local government and rural
communities It is an essential part of the Marine Highway infrastructure connecting two states
across Lake Michigan In these difficult economic times the SS Badger brings positive economic
support to both States in broad areas that range from regular commercial delivery of seasonal
crops increased tourism to surrounding communities as well as building materials and supplies
for rural businesses The Badger generates approximately $35 million dollars in revenue and
employs over 200 people The Badger has been owned and operated by Lake Michigan Carferry
Service LMC since 1991 during that time the ship has transported an average of 124000
passengers 39000 automobiles and 1100 commercial trucks annually Lake Michigan Carferry
Service is a privately ownedmiddotcompany started by Charles Conrad who brought the ferry
operation out of bankruptcy in 1991 and reoriented the service to focus on providing a
memorable maritime experience while avoiding the hassles associated with driving around Lake
Michigan
The Wisconsin Department of Energy has offered an opportunity to qualified applicants to
explore new methods of power for-marine vessels serving ports in Wisconsin The SS Badger is -~
uniquely qualified to receive this grant and will further the goals of the State of Wisconsin while
ensuring its steady contribution to the economy For over a decade the company officials have
been exploring an alternative to its coal furnace and steam propulsion system and LMC has
invested over $250000 of its own money to date It has been our goal to convert to a new
system that is ecologically sound and economically feasible After consulting experts in the
field investing company resources attending numerous scientific conferences and meeting
with maritime fuel and engineering vendors LMC is further committed to taking all
necessary steps to achieve a new and more environmentally friendly method of operation in
the near future
The 5S Badgers operating season averages 130 days each year each day the ship burns
approximately 55 tons of Iow sulfur coal to provide steam to the ships engines as well as
powering the ancillary systems onboard This coal usage generates approximately 38 tons of
ash which is mixed with water and ejected overboard while in transit across the lake The ash
is discharged while the ship is at least 5 miles offshore and in at least 100 of water The ash
has been tested by EPA approved laboratories and methods no hazardous materials were
detectable above background levels
Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
Up until 2008 it was believed that the Badgers historic importance as the last coal-fired steam
powered ship In the US would continue to make her exempt from existing environmental
regulations In 2008 that belief was changed when the EPA issued a revised Vessel General
Permit giving LMC until December of 3012 to eliminate the process of discharging ash into
the water LMC applied for fundJg from the TIGER II program in 2010 but was not awarded
any grant
In 2010 LMC was contacted by DTE Energy who suggested the possibility of converting the
coal-fired boilers to natural gas This conversion would eliminate the issue related to the ash
discharge as well as addressing the smoke coming from the stack and the Badger would be the
greenest ship on the Great Lakes LMC has been working with DTE Energy and numerous
other vendors on the engineering physical components and fueling aspects of this project
Internally we have invested over 1000 man hours in the natural gas conversion project which
includes trips to Washington DC Cleveland Houston and Seattle to consult with vendors or
attend conferences related to natural gas We have had a conceptual drawing of this project
created by Chapman Technical of Sturgeon Bay WI This drawing was presented to the
American Bureau of Shipping in Houston the ABS supports the plan and we were given their
approval to move forward with official engineering plans for this project
If awarded the grant funding from this program LMC would be prepared to move forward
with the engineering work in the first quarter of 2012 The engineering work must be
completed by a firm certified in naval architecturemarine engineering LMC has identified
the firm GR Bowler as qualified candidate who is familiar with similar types of conversions
The lMC Chief Engineer would work with the contracted engineers during their time on site
and would directly oversee their activities for the duration of the engineering work This
conversion should be very applicable to the other vessels faced with the need to covert their
fuel source LMC would be very willing to help apply what is learned during the engineering
phase as well as subsequent parts of the overall project As previously noted LMC has
already spent over $250000 of company money towards this conversion and this proposal
includes a 30 cost share by LMC
The attached technical drawing shows Compressed Natural Gas CNG as the fuel source there
is a possibility that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) could be used instead depending on how the
Infrastructure develops in our region The engineering work proposed here would be
applicable regardless ofthe form of gas To our knowledge a coal-fired steam ship has never
been converted to natural gas Therefore numerous challenges lie ahead including the design
of a fuel storage system and creating a refueling process We are confident that we will
implement natural gas as our fuel source which will enable the Badger to continue operating
Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
and will lead the way for other vessels in our industry with similar challenges
We ask that the consideration be given to the Badger as it stands as a class of one in maritime
history Over the years the ship has received numerous awards and deSignations from the
National Trust for Historic Preservation)er steam engines have been designated an
engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (see the attached list
for a full list of awards and designations) It is literally the last ship of its kind operating in the
United States By assisting in the beginning and essential steps for design ofthe conversion the
State of Wisconsin will preserve a piece of their own unique history for generations to come It
also provides an example ofthe good that comes for all when we choose to work together
with a joint vision of the future while respecting our past

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
Up until 2008 it was believed that the Badgers historic importance as the last coal-fired steam
powered ship In the US would continue to make her exempt from existing environmental
regulations In 2008 that belief was changed when the EPA issued a revised Vessel General
Permit giving LMC until December of 3012 to eliminate the process of discharging ash into
the water LMC applied for fundJg from the TIGER II program in 2010 but was not awarded
any grant
In 2010 LMC was contacted by DTE Energy who suggested the possibility of converting the
coal-fired boilers to natural gas This conversion would eliminate the issue related to the ash
discharge as well as addressing the smoke coming from the stack and the Badger would be the
greenest ship on the Great Lakes LMC has been working with DTE Energy and numerous
other vendors on the engineering physical components and fueling aspects of this project
Internally we have invested over 1000 man hours in the natural gas conversion project which
includes trips to Washington DC Cleveland Houston and Seattle to consult with vendors or
attend conferences related to natural gas We have had a conceptual drawing of this project
created by Chapman Technical of Sturgeon Bay WI This drawing was presented to the
American Bureau of Shipping in Houston the ABS supports the plan and we were given their
approval to move forward with official engineering plans for this project
If awarded the grant funding from this program LMC would be prepared to move forward
with the engineering work in the first quarter of 2012 The engineering work must be
completed by a firm certified in naval architecturemarine engineering LMC has identified
the firm GR Bowler as qualified candidate who is familiar with similar types of conversions
The lMC Chief Engineer would work with the contracted engineers during their time on site
and would directly oversee their activities for the duration of the engineering work This
conversion should be very applicable to the other vessels faced with the need to covert their
fuel source LMC would be very willing to help apply what is learned during the engineering
phase as well as subsequent parts of the overall project As previously noted LMC has
already spent over $250000 of company money towards this conversion and this proposal
includes a 30 cost share by LMC
The attached technical drawing shows Compressed Natural Gas CNG as the fuel source there
is a possibility that Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) could be used instead depending on how the
Infrastructure develops in our region The engineering work proposed here would be
applicable regardless ofthe form of gas To our knowledge a coal-fired steam ship has never
been converted to natural gas Therefore numerous challenges lie ahead including the design
of a fuel storage system and creating a refueling process We are confident that we will
implement natural gas as our fuel source which will enable the Badger to continue operating
Feasibility Study for the Use of Alternative Fuels in Maritime Vessels Project Narrative
and will lead the way for other vessels in our industry with similar challenges
We ask that the consideration be given to the Badger as it stands as a class of one in maritime
history Over the years the ship has received numerous awards and deSignations from the
National Trust for Historic Preservation)er steam engines have been designated an
engineering landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (see the attached list
for a full list of awards and designations) It is literally the last ship of its kind operating in the
United States By assisting in the beginning and essential steps for design ofthe conversion the
State of Wisconsin will preserve a piece of their own unique history for generations to come It
also provides an example ofthe good that comes for all when we choose to work together
with a joint vision of the future while respecting our past

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger

Dear Ms Mott
We are writing to support the grant application ofthe Lake Michigan Carferry SS Badger for the Wisconsin State Energy Office RFP Feasibility Study for the use of Alternative Fuels in Marine Applications The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute based in the port of DuluthSuperior has recently been awarded a contract from the US Department ofTJansportatiolls Maritime Administration to study the feasibility of using natural gas as a marine fuel for Great Lakes shipping Our research plan will include interaction with the European Union that has embarked on a similar study The US EPA is aware of our research and is supportive
One part ofour study plan includes looking at the 8S Badger as a demonstration model ofa vessel that may benefit from natural gas as an alternative fuel Utilizing the SS Badger as our projects demonstration model we will be tying into Wisconsin based facilities and engineeling firnls along with the shipping route of the SS Badger between Ludington MI and Manitowoc WI
However our funding to work withtbe SS Badger is quite limited and having a supporting grant from the state of Wisconsin for Lake Michigan Carferry would allow the leveraging of funds and advance the alternative fuel study as a whole Our research while focused on the Great Lakes is intended to provide models and information that can be used nationa]Jy Our research findings will be available to the Wisconsin State Energy Office and we welcome working with your office
Please feel free to contact me or the Executive Director ofGreat Lakes Maritime Research Institute Carol Wolosz at 218middot726middot7446 ifwe can provide any additional information to support the grant request for Lake Michigan Carfeny SS Badger
