Halter Marine Delivers Two Halmar 100 Class Tugs Halter Marine Services, Inc., New Orleans, La., has delivered its second and third 100-foot tugs of the Halmar 100 class since the intro-duction of the Halmar 100 to the marine industry in late 1967. The first 100-foot tug was the Jason Smith, built for Crescent Tow-ing and Salvage Company, Inc. The latest deliveries from the builder's yards were the Capt. Jac and the Mr. Lou, built for Jackson Marine Service of Port Aransas, Texas. The new tugs are designed for harbor and open ocean service and are classed by the American Bureau of Shipping for Maltese Cross A-l Ocean Towing Service. Primary propulsion on each of the boats is by two Caterpillar D398B series diesel engines pro-viding 1700 continuous horsepower through 5.3:1 Caterpillar reduction gears. The engines of each tug turn two 100-inch diameter 4-blade stainless steel propellers on 9-inch steel shafts and can produce a maximum bollard pull of 60,000 pounds. The boats have a free running speed each of 12.75 knots. Two 60-kw Delco generators driven by 671 General Motors engines provide auxiliary power for each tug. The Capt. Jac and the Mr. Lou are each equipped with a Sperry electro-hydraulic dual steering system that activates two hydrofoil-shaped spade rudders with 10-inch stocks. Engine and rudder controls are located in the pilothouse and on the after boat deck. Engine controls are located both port and starboard in the pilothouse, and the master can use a Sperry walk-around steering control unit when necessary. The two new tugs are each centrally air conditioned in all living areas and in the pilothouse, and accommodations are provided for eight. Access to the pilothouse is by any one of two outside and one interior ladders. A ladder to the wheelhouse top is provided to allow access to the folding aluminum mast on each vessel. From the wheelhouse the master has direct access to the bridge wings, boat deck and foredeck. Each tug has a large hold forward for stowage or additional quar-ters, and has a hold aft for stowage of hawsers and towing gear. Deck equipment for each boat includes a towing winch. All Halmar 100 class tugs admeasure under 200 gross tons. The Capt. Jac and the Mr. Lou began their services for Jackson Marine Services in Africa. The Mister Lou, one of two Halter Marine tugs delivered to Jackson Marine Service, is another Halmar 100 class tug which is designed for harbor and open ocean service. The tug has entered service in Africa. RADIO MARINE EQUIPMENT DflnaiK- RMCA CR-106 10 cm nnunno. RMCA CR_104 3 cm Sperry Mark II 3 cm RanIfl* RMCA 5U, 4U Consoles nHuiu.
