Gilbert Associates Will Design

Tug/Barge Unit For Sun Transport

John W. Gilbert Associates, Inc. of Boston has received a contract from Sun Transport,

Inc. of Claymont, Del., to design an advanced tug/barge unit for carriage of specialty pe- troleum products between U.S. East and

Gulf Coast ports. The 4,600-bhp tug and 95,000-barrel barge will incorporate safety and design features not commonly found in units of similar concept.

The tug will have a length of 119 feet 7]/s inches overall, a beam of 36 feet, and a depth of 20 feet 6 inches. The vessel's propulsion power will come from a pair of

GM Electro-Motive Division 12-645-E7B en- gines, each driving a 9-foot 6-inch Kaplan propeller turning in a Kort nozzle. For ma- neuvering, the vessel will have two steering and four flanking rudders, all operated by rotary steering gears.

Safety features of the tug include non- combustible joiner work, emergency power- generation capability, full foam fire-fighting system, full towing outfit including a towing winch, and full Notation ACCU engine room control and monitoring. In addition, the tug meets or exceeds all worldwide criteria for stability, having been designed with partic- ular regard for freeboard and location of down-flooding point in all conditions.

The barge will measure 414 feet in length, 75 feet in beam, and have a depth of 33 feet 6 inches. The hull shape was designed under subcontract by Corning Townsend III, marine consultant of Georgetown, Conn. Notable fea- tures of the barge include the use of cor- rugated bulkheads to aid in tank cleaning, an onboard, fixed tank-cleaning system, as well as full fire-fighting capability for use when the tug is not nearby. The barge is also full-coiled and coated, and will carry xylenes, lubes, and ethylene glycol.

The most unique feature of the tug/barge combination will be use of the "Articouple" linkage system to join the two vessels in all sea states. Based on studies done before the design was undertaken, the combination will be able to operate in a 100-percent push mode in all weather projected to be encoun- tered along her trade routes. The tug, how- ever, is multipurpose, expected to be used moving other barges in the Sun fleet, as well as handling tankers at Sun's Marcus Hook,

Pa. and Corpus Christi, Texas, terminals.

Both vessels will be U.S. Coast Guard in- spected and American Bureau of Shipping classed.

Bids for construction are expected to be solicited when the design is completed, about mid-November this year.

Robert P. Hill is the designer for this project.

Converting Five Barges

For Trailer Marine

Trailer Marine Transport Corporation is converting five 400 by 100-foot double-deck barges to triple-deck for its roll-on/roll-off cargo service between Lake Charles, La., and

San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to Robert

G. Homan, senior vice president and general manager of the Caribbean Division of Crow- ley Maritime Corporation, TMT's parent company.

The third deck on each barge will be 18 feet wider than the lower decks, providing an additional trailer lane on each side and increasing each barge's capacity from 180 to 288 forty and forty-five-foot trailers.

Conversion of the first two barges has been completed, and all five vessels will be in service by the end of the year. Todd Ship- yards, Houston, is performing the work on three barges, and Avondale Shipyards, New

Orleans, is converting the remaining two. 37
