AN ULTRAMODERN WAY
TO TAKE IN ICONIC VIEWS
Maid of the Mist hit the waters of the mighty
Niagara in 1846 with a twin-stack sidewheel
steamboat. In 1885, our boats evolved to singlestack steamers that ventured closer to theHorseshoe Falls than any boat ever had before.
In 1955, the first modern Maid of the Mist boat
entered the river, made of steel and powered bytwin diesel engines.
But as we relish the beauty of this iconic wonder,
we know it’s our responsibility to protect it. That’s
why we’re excited, with the continued successful operation of these two zero-emission vessels, totransport our visitors to and from the majesty that is Niagara Falls.
These vessels have been a game changer for our visitors, the environment and industry. Our vessels:• Are the first new construction all-electricpassenger vessels in North America• Utilize lithium-ion energy-storage
battery systems• Produce zero emissions• Operate nearly silently with minimal vibration• Have complete redundancy of power andpropulsion split between two distinct hulls• Are constructed from 5086 H116 marine-grade,a superior marine-environment, corrosionresistant aluminum alloy• Operate exclusively from the onboard energy
storage battery system with no need for dieselgenerator backup

SPECIFICATIONSABOUT THE VESSELS• Vessel Type: Passenger Vessel• Regulatory: United States
Flagged Vessels Homeported
in Niagara Falls, NY• United States Coast Guard(USCG) Subchapter K Vessels• Hull Type: Catamaran-Style
Aluminum Hull
• Passenger Capacity: 600• Length Overall: 90'6"• Beam: 33'4"• Draft: 5'9"•N et Gross Tonnage: 96 tons
• Speed: 8 knots

ABOUT THE PROPULSORS
Azimuthing “L Drive” thrusters:

Bow thruster:• Replace a group of equipment, including themain engine, the reduction gear, the main
propeller shaft, the main propeller and thesteering system• Bow thruster forward in each hull
• Allows the vessels to move laterally• Used simultaneously with the azimuth thruster• Design is compact with extremely low mounting
space requirements• Low weight• Electric motor housed inside the ship with few
vulnerable components underwater• Eliminates the need for the vessels tohave a rudder• Ability to rotate thrusters 360 degrees, allowing
for excellent maneuverability in both navigationand docking operations

ABOUT THE POWER

MAKING A DIFFERENCE2X• In 2022 Maid of the Mist vessels were charged
6,300 times and carried 1.2 million passengers.

• Independent power andpropulsion systems formaximum reliability and safety• 158 kWh lithium-ion battery banks• 200 kW propulsion motors• 50 kW tunnel thruster motors• About 38 kWh total power consumption each trip

• The previous vessels would have used 23,520
gallons of diesel fuel (approximately 56 gallonsper day).
• The previous vessels would have emitted
approximately 258 tons of C02.

• Batteries will be recharged each trip to 80%
state of charge for optimum efficiency andbattery life. With a C2 charge rate, eachbattery bank can be charged from 60% to 80%
in 7 minutes (which aligns with the average
turnaround time while docked between trips).
