Bar pilots of the Pascagoula Bar Pilots Asso-ciation, Pascagoula, Miss., now ride to work in a new high-speed boat of special design built by Halter Marine Services, Inc., New Orleans, build-er of vessels for the offshore petroleum, towing and ocean engineering industries. The vessel is the 35-foot, all-welded aluminum Pilot No. 2. It is powered by a single General Motors 8V71N diesel engine, and has a deep V-flared hull for maneuvering in rough seas. Its construction is extra heavy for coming alongside ships in the Pascagoula seaway, and for extreme boarding conditions in seas as high as 12 feet. An M4 rubber bumpering system surrounds the ves-sel for added protection. The design of Pilot No. 2 also permits boarding off the forward quarter, with the pilothouse posi-tioned aft and amidships for better visibility and control when approaching ships at anchorage. Auxiliary and navigational equipment installed on the boat includes a Decca 202 radar, radio, Onan 5-kw generator, central air conditioning, a completely outfitted galley and bunks for two. The propeller turns on a 17-4ph stainless-steel shaft. Speed of the Pilot No. 2 is 25 miles per hour. The Pilot No. 2 is one of three different types of pilot boats developed by Halter Marine Serv-ices, Inc., and offered from stock with either sin-gle- or twin-screw propulsion. Recently, the com-pany delivered two pilot boats to the government of Pakistan. The hull and superstructure was built by Hal-ter Marine Services and outfitting was done by Halter Marine Fabricators, Inc., Moss Point, Miss. Houston Mariners Elect Sydney Wire President The Port of Houston Chapter of The Coun-cil of American Master Mariners elected Capt. Sydney Wire its president at a recent meeting at Houston's World Trade Club. Captain Wire, assistant general manager of the Marine Department of Humble Oil & Re-fining Co., started his maritime career as a sea-man 40 years ago. He joined Humble's marine affiliate as a third mate in 1933 and served in the tanker fleet until 1941. Coming ashore as an industrial relations assistant, he had several staff and executive positions, including secretary of Esso Shipping Co. and general manager of Esso Standard's Inland Waterways Department. He was ap-pointed to his present post in 1959. The Council of American Master Mariners is a fast-growing organization of licensed ship masters dedicated to promoting the best in-terests of the American merchant marine. It has 750 members nationwide with 74 in the Port of Houston chapter and 200 in the Port of New York. Other chapters are being formed by regional vice-presidents; Capt. Robert Stap of the Humble Marine Department is the Gulf area vice-president.
