Forward Module 3 being assembled. These modules will house the drive units (Propeller Systems) 

One of the drive beds fitted on the vessel. This complex steel structure will be the seating for one of two Voith Schneider Propeller units. 

This view shows the preparation of the beach for the launch of the vessel. By mid-summer when the lake level rises the truck in the foreground would be submerged in water. The vessel will be launched side-ways during the high water period this summer.
