The Moore Patrol 28 is the first of a new series of Moore Patrol Boats. Models will be pow- ered by lightweight, dependable Steyr 306 Diesel engines and Hamilton Jets. The boats are capable of 50+ miles per hour with twin 300 hp diesels yet the 28 has been able to transverse 4? depths across sandbars. The 28 is purpose built for patrol duty, offering a cen- tral ergonomic focused helm, aft work platform with drop down transom, Toughbook station, a writing table and abundant storage. Additionally, the design offers an integrated body board and removable davit system among other patrol specific design features. Moore Boat is currently constructing a fireboat utiliz- ing this same patented stable hull form. Moore Boat?s construction facility is located outside of Ocean City MD, on the St. Martins Neck River. www.mooreboat.com All American Marine, Inc. has been awarded by the Port of Los Angeles Harbor Department a contract for a new dive and patrol catamaran. The 65? x 24? aluminum cata- maran will be used by the LA Port Police dive team and will feature Teknicraft Design?s signature hull shape and hydrofoil technology. The design of the vessel is based upon the previously built R/V Shearwater and R/V Fulmar, which are operated by NOAA throughout California?s four National Marine Sanctuaries. The new vessel will serve as a valuable asset to the port police for a wide variety of safety and security missions. One of the key functions of this multipurpose vessel is the ability to conduct oceanographic surveys within the port. By mon- itoring the seafloor, the LA Port Police can help ensure that America?s largest seaport remains safe and opera- tional. The vessel?s interior layout promises over 150 sq. ft. of wet and dry working space, a fully equipped galley, and comfortable dinette with u-shaped settee. The work- ing deck layout will accommodate a hydraulically actuat- ed A-frame, survey winch, and dive platforms. The propulsion package features twin Cummins QSM- 11engines, each offering 705 bhp @ 2500 rpm. Delivery for the vessel is scheduled for mid 2012. www.allamericanmarine.com VESSELS(Photo All American Marine, Inc. )(Photo Moore Boat LLC)LA Port Police Contract with AAM for Dive, Patrol Catamaran MN#11 (82-97):MN 2011 Layouts 11/3/2011 9:42 AM Page 86
