Pilot Exceeds

Design Speed by 33 Percent

A twin UltraJet 451 propulsion system propels a new 74-ft. aluminium pilot boat built by Horizon Shipbuilding of Bayou

La Batre, Ala., and designed by Blanke

Marine Services of Woodbury, N.J. The vessel is scheduled for service in the port of Umm Qasr, Iraq.

The combination of twin Caterpillar 3406E diesel engines with ZF350 trans- missions and the UltraJet 451 waterjets exceeded contract speed by six knots, achieving more than 24 knots during mul- tiple sea trials.

The UJ451 reversing deflectors are independently controlled using Ultra's two-lever electrohydraulic (EH) control system. The hull which was designed to

ABS rules and certified by ABS New

Orleans, can be easily adapated as a fire- boat, patrol vessel or small coastal crew boat. New design features include an exterior deck plated in five bar checkered plate, providing a non-skid surface that is not abrasive. The vessel also has an extra heavy side shear plate with six inch "D" fendering on the sides, doubled on the bow. A rescue ladder on the stern nestles between the jet drives.
