Alaska-based naval architecture firm to be under new ownership

The Elliott Bay Design Group (EBDG) of Seattle, Washington, has entered into a strategic partnership with Anchorage, Alaska-based naval architecture and marine engineering firm Coastwise Corporation wherein the latter will become a new division under EBDG.

Coastwise Corporation has been rebranded as Coastwise Engineering. This division will continue to provide superior naval architecture services to both public and private clients.

As part of the agreement, EBDG will acquire Coastwise Corporation’s assets, including the addition of Coastwise Owner and Principal, Patrick Eberhardt, who will join EBDG as a full-time employee.

Serving as the Alaska representative for EBDG, Eberhardt will help expand the company’s presence in the state by pursuing new opportunities in the passenger vessel, remote/arctic workboat, law enforcement, and fishing sectors.
