Alaska Ferry Maintenance Yard

Under Construction In Ketchikan

Artist model of the ferry maintenance and repair yard to be located at Ketchikan, Alaska.

The first phase of construction of a modern maintenance and repair shipyard for the

Alaska State Ferries is presently underway in

Ketchikan, in southeast Alaska.

The yard will have facilities required to per- form annual maintenance and repair work on the fleet of nine Alaska Marine Highway fer- ries. Work on the ferries will be performed during the off-season winter months, when the ferries are on their service runs in the straights and narrows of the Alaskan islands and between Seattle and Alaskan vacation spots.

The heart of the shipyard, says Jay Has- sani, the state's project consultant, will be a 6,000-ton Synchrolift shiplift operating in con- junction with a unique ship transfer system from Pearlson Engineering on land. The transfer system is capable of translating ships sideways as well as longitudinally on a level bed at ground level. Other facilities will con- sist of a number of workshops, all housed un- der one roof, a warehouse, garage, and other support facilities.

A wastewater treatment plant will allow only clear effluent to be discharged to the ad- jacent waters and a grit removal system will be installed for solids generated during ship- yard operations. Grit will be collected in trenches and grit collector pits and will be re- moved by trucks to landfill sites.

The operating authority will engage an op- erator, experienced in ship repair, to manage and operate the shipyard. The consulting en- gineer for the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities of the State of Alaska is

Century/Quadra of Anchorage, and the con- tractor is Dawson Construction of Bel- lingham, Wash.

Hoffert Marine Repairs

USCGC Sweetgum

Inc. are busy doing a repair program on the ship that entered service during World War

II.

Skipper of the Sweetgum is Lt. Comdr.

Wayne T. Shipman, a native of Hamilton,

Ohio.

Work aboard ship includes the following:

The deck will be sandblasted and painted. The bridge, galley, mast lights and guntub life rails will be repaired along with steel plating and electric lighting.

Diesel fuel oil tanks will be cleaned and gas freed. Main deck hatches, bulwarks fore and aft, heads and showers will receive needed work.

The repair program by Hoffert Marine will be inspected by Coast Guard marine inspec- tion officers as each phase of the work is completed.

PETERSON BUILDERS,^

The USCGC Sweetgum, commissioned 40 years ago, was built by the Marine Iron and

Shipbuilding Company of Duluth, Minn. Now engineers and technicians at Hoffert Marine,

PETERSON BUILDERS— Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wise., re- cently laid the keel for a 224-foot prototype Mine Counter

Measure ship (MCM) contracted by the Navy. The section of keel is 1'/2-inch laminated Douglas Fir, measuring 108 feet long. An 80-foot-long laminated oak frame, in the center, is one of 68 that form the MCM's skeleton. Peterson also is building seven wooden 108-foot Yard Patrol craft used for training Naval Academy midshipmen. Officiating at the MCM keel laying are left to right: Ellsworth Peterson, president,

Comdr. Paul Robinson, Sturgeon Bay supervisor of shipbuild- ing, and Robert Spafford, Navsea deputy program manager.

First of Four Indonesian Passenger

Ships Christened At Meyer Yard

The first of four passenger ships being built for P.T. Pelni of Indonesia was christened and launched recently at Jos. L. Meyer Shipyard,

Papenburg-Ems, West Germany. The ships were ordered by the Indonesian Directorate of

Sea Communications, Jakarta.

The twin screw ship was christened Kerinci by Mrs. Henriette Josephine Muskita, wife of the Indonesian Ambassador to Bonn, Josef

Muskita. The 14,020-gt Kerinci will trans- port up to 1,596 passengers between the In- donesian islands.

The Kerinci measures 144.00 meters long overall, has a molded breadth of 23.40 meters, a depth to the second deck of 8.20 meters, and a 5.90-meter draft. Propulsion is supplied by two MaK four-stroke diesel engines, model 6MU601, each driving a fixed blade propeller.

The Kerinci is equipped with a variable pitch bow thruster.

Indonesian architects designed the interior accommodations. The ship will have a mosque included among its public facilities.

The Kerinci is scheduled for delivery this summer with the other passenger ships to be delivered in early 1984 and 1985.
