Construction Begins on W&D Hull 101

Washburn & Doughty Associates, Inc. of East Boothbay,

Maine began construction of a 93-ft by 38-ft, 6,000 hp Z-

Drive tug for Moran Towing Corporation of New Canaan,

Conn. Washburn & Doughty is building the vessel to its newest in-house design based on the yard’s previous 92-ft by 32-ft design, of which there are 22 tugs in operation.

The increased length and beam will allow for increased horsepower while maintaining the maneuvering character- istics and handling capabilities. The tug will be powered by two MTU M63L16 cylinder series 4,000 main engines each rated at 3,000 bhp at 1,800 rpm. The propulsion units will be Schottel model SRP 1515 FP drives, equipped with stainless steel propellers measuring 2,600 mm and nozzles lined with stainless steel. Bollard pull is anticipated to be 70 mT ahead and 66 mT astern. The tug will feature a machinery alarm system assembled by First

Electric Motor Services and built from Siemens compo- nents. The vessel will be outfitted with two John Deere model 6068TFM76, Tier II emissions certified 1,800 rpm marine engines providing 99KW, 120/208 VAC, three- phase power. Under normal conditions one generator will be on-line for ship’s service and the other will be on stand- by. The vessel will be equipped with a Markey DEPC-48 electric hawser winch forward and a Markey CEWC-60 electric hawser capstan aft.
