Portland Helps Rhapsody of
the Sea stay afloat
Electricians from the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
(IBEW , Local 48 recently had the
opportunity to help repair one of the
largest cruise ships in the world, the
925-foot "Rhapsody of the Sea.”
IBEW Local 48 electricians played a
crucial role in this major operation,
providing power to marine m echan
ics at the Port of Portland
During a trip to New York from
France, the 5 month old, 2,400-pas-
senger liner’s engine began to burn
out, leaving the ship with 50% power.
Later, on a cruise to Alaska, further
damage to the engine occurred, leav
ing it with only 30% power
The only solution was to replace
the engine. IBEW electricians pro
vided Port of Portland marine me
chanics with the electrical power from
shore necessary for installing the new
starboard main propulsion motor To
replace the engine, workers had to
cut a hole in the side of the ship, lift
the original engine out, and install
the new one. The entire jo b took
three weeks.
The Port of Portland was chosen
by the ship’s owners due to its repu
tation for superior repair work and
quick turn-around time, and IBEW
electricians were chosen due to their
