Thrustmaster Selected For Ferry Repowering

Thrustmaster of Texas Inc. announced that it has been awarded a contract from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for the repowering of the Charles Hall Ferry on Lake Powell. Thrustmaster will replace the propulsion thrusters, engines, generators, keel coolers and controls on the car and passenger ferry. The work will be performed on the lake while the vessel remains afloat.

Thrustmaster’s made-in-America and Buy America-compliant propulsion system will provide the UDOT with a domestic source and strong partnership for many years to come, the company said.

The Charles Hall ferry has been in operation since 2001. The route of operation for the Charles Hall Ferry on Lake Powell is a remote and very isolated location in the southeast corner of the state of Utah. The ferry operates daily from mid-April through September making six round trips a day.

Thrustmaster is based in Houston, Texas.
