Damen To Deliver New Tug * ^ • Jil n * 28 im E3im sllljiii • Ih^H

Damen Stan Tug 1405, Teign, was scheduled to be handed over last month to owner Teignmouth

Harbour Commission of Devon,

England, after successful sea tri- als.

The new vessel will be operated by Bartlett Bros., a trading divi- sion of Teignmouth shipping agent

Pike Ward Ltd., and will be used in the Teignmouth area for plough dredging, berth leveling, pilotage and general workboat services.

Teign is reportedly capable of achieving an eight-ton bollard pull from a continuous output of 600 bhp, reaching a free sailing speed of 9.5 knots.

Deck equipment includes a tow- ing bitt and hook with a safe work- ing load (swl) of 12 tons with quick release.

In addition to a 3.5-ton swl hydraulic winch, the vessel has a 3.5 tons swl hydraulically con- trolled A-frame, which can be low- ered to fit flush on the aft deck.

The new Damen tug has a 10- mm steel hull plating and an inte- grated sheerstrake with a thick- ness of 20 mm.

The hull has been subdivided by watertight bulkheads into a fore- peak compartment, store or sleep- ing compartment with toilet facili- ties, fuel tanks, engine room and an after-peak section containing steering gear equipment. The wheelhouse contains an instru- ment panel with engine controls and alarms, rudder indicator, pow- ered hydraulic steering, search light, safety lamp, horn, radar with 36-nm range, magnetic

Kotter compass, DGPS system linked to an echosounder for sur- vey operations, and fixed and mobile VHF units.
