Equitable Builds Tug/Fireboat

For Brazilian Company

The 3,000-hp tug Helio Ferraz is equipped with an ex- ternal fire-fighting system.

Equitalble Equipment Company, one of the world's largest shipbuilders for the marine and oil and gas industries, christened and launched a new 95-foot tug/fireboat at its New Orleans

Industrial 'Canal shipyards. The new tug is the

Helio Ferraz, built for Companhia Vale do Rio

Doce. It was christened by Mrs. Iedda Ferraz,

Vitoria, Brazil, widow of Helio Ferraz, former general superintendent of the ports of Vitoria and Tubarao. Under Mr. Ferraz's direction, the ports of Vitoria and Tubarao became the world's largest iron ore ports. Mrs. Ferraz was accompanied to New Orleans, La., by her son

Edmundo and principals of Itabira Interna- tional, New York, N.Y.

Principal characteristics of'the tug are length overalll, 95 feet 6 inches; beam, molded, 28 feet 2Yi inches; depth, molded amidships, 13 feet 1% inches; draft, 'DL'W'L (maximum), 11 feet 9 inches, and brake horsepower, ABS rating, 3,000.

The vessel is designed and Ibuilt to American

Bureau of Shipping Class Maltese Cross A-l

Towing Service, Maltese iCross AMS, and has an A'B'S Loadline assigned. The two propulsion engines are DiAIHATSU Model 6VSHTOM- 26E turbocharged marine diesel engines with

DAIHATSU DRA-22D reduction gears. The tug is equipped with an external fire-fighting system, consisting of two gear-driven fire moni- tors rated 4,000 gpm at 150 psi, each with three position fog-nozzle hydraulically operated at the monitors. The pump is driven by a Detroit

Diesel Engine Model 12V149T, turbocharged, rated 1,000 bhp at 1,900 rpm.

The vessel recently departed New Orleans with her crew for Vitoria, Brazil. This is the second Equity tug that will be operated by

Companhia Vale do Rio Doce in Brazil, and is indicative of Equitable Equipment Com- pany's shipbuilding capabilities in producing for,both the domestic and international markets.
