Engine Room Design

The hull of the Damen ASD Tug 2411 is divided by four watertight bulkheads into the following compartments: • Forepeak, dry. • Forward compartment with the potable water tank below, a cofferdam and two fuel tanks, one on each side of the centreline (port and starboard), that run through into the engine room. Above the tanks are the auxiliary engine room on the starboard side and the cable stor- age area on the port side: at the front of this compartment there are also the chain lockers and, between them, the laundry unit, a workbench, hydraulic tank unit, main switchboard, boiler and hydrophore. At the rear are two F.O. header tanks for fuel, each of 3.4 m3 capacity. • Engine room, with the two fuel tanks mentioned above either side of the centreline on the floor, and behind them the liquid foam tank and a dispersant tank (starboard) as well as the sewage tank (port) and then two more fuel tanks (port and starboard): the latter each have a trunk on the centreline leading up to the main deck. There are several other tanks behind the box coolers at the sides of the engine room: on the starboard side the lube oil tank for the main engines and behind it the bilge water tank; on the port side the dirty oil tank and the lube oil tank for the auxiliary engines.

VT Halter Marine to

Conduct MarAd Study

VT Halter Marine Inc. will partner with the U.S. Department of

Transportation — Maritime

Administration to conduct a feasibil- ity study for the design and manu- facture of a dual-use vessel. A dual- use vessel is one that has both com- mercial and military applications.

The four-part study has an estimated cost of $1,224,680, which VTHM will share on a 50/50 basis with the government. It will take approxi- mately 26 weeks to complete the project. 1 N ieia p Pi roved Al pei rt.
