Turecamo Adds Powerful Tug To Fleet f

The twin-screw 105-ft. Mary Turecamo was built by Matton Shipyard, Cohoes, N.Y.

The latest addition to the Ture- camo Coastal and Harbor Towing

Corporation's fleet of tugs and barges, the 3,000-bhp tug Mary

Turecamo, was recently placed in service.

Designed by Merritt Demarest of

Red Bank, N.J., and built by Mat- ton Shipyard Company, Inc., a

Turecamo subsidiary, the new tug has an overall length of 105 feet inches, a 28-foot 11-^-inch beam, and a draft at the skeg of 12 feet 8 inches.

The twin-screw 3,000-hp tug is powered by GM 12-645-E2 diesels, rated at 1,500 hp at 900 rpm, equip- ped with Lufkin 3.75:1 reduction gears driving a pair of 96-inch by 86-inch stainless steel propellers manufactured by Coolidge Propel- lers, Seattle, Wash.

Completely automated by Hose-

McCann, the Mary Turecamo fea- tures a high pilothouse for good eye level and safe navigation when pushing the new superbarges.

All Turecamo "Work Horses" are known for the excellent interior treatment, and this completely air- conditioned tug is no exception. In the crew's quarters, Formica with stainless steel trim is used for bulk- head panels and built-in bunks. All interior woodwork is hand-rubbed

Afro-mahogany, and galley panels and equipment are built of stain- less steel.

Jack Paro, general manager of

Matton Shipyard, said that the new tug increases the Turecamo fleet to 13 powerful tugs employed in gen- eral towing on the Great Lakes, the Hudson and Erie Canals, off- shore along the East Coast, in the

Caribbean, and docking and un- docking ships in New York Harbor.
