195 Million Dollar Heat
Recovery Equipment
Comes Down the
Hudson River
The $195 million piece of equipment, a
heat-recovery steam generator that is one
of the essential components of a new, $600
million power plant being built by PSEG in
Seawaren, N.J., is the latest structural marvel
to be assembled at the port of Coeymans
and shipped down the Hudson River.
This massive equipment, the largest ever
to be shipped on a barge, came down
the Hudson River on August 7, 2017
accompanied by the tug Helen Laraway
and two other tugs.
During daylight hours there were large
crowds on show witnessing the movement
down river. This was so in the Kingston
area more than any other area. Part of the
trip down river was made at night so that
a significant number of people wishing to
see it did not.
