Work / Internship Experience
Bruce S. Rosenblatt & Associates, LLC
Internship: 07/2025 – 08/2025
During my internship at Bruce S. Rosenblatt & Associates LLC (BSR), I worked on developing a repowering for a hopper dredge. The repowering involved visiting the vessel, which needed to be repowered, and developing an operating profile through observation of ship operations, engine speeds, flow rates, and pressures. Using the vessel’s operating profile and yearly schedule, a powering estimate was created and used to identify multiple different types of powering configurations, to find an optimal solution for installation on the dredge.
