Supply Boats To Tidewater

Halter Marine, Inc. of New Orleans, La., has delivered the Jones Tide and the Laugh- lin Tide, two identical supply vessels, to their owner, Tidewater, Inc., New Orleans.

Each vessel has an overall length of 180 feet, a 40-foot beam, a 14-foot draft, and a normal operating draft of 11 feet. Their nor- mal displacement is 605.33 long tons.

Both are powered by two Caterpillar D-399 engines producing 1,090 horsepower each at 1,225 rpm. They swing 76-inch-diameter stainless-steel four-bladed propellers which are driven by two ABS Grade 2, 7y2-inch- diameter forged-steel propeller shafts.

Free-running speed is approximately 12 knots.

Each vessel contains a bulk mud system with a total capacity of 4,000 cubic feet of dry bulk mud, and a liquid mud system with a capacity of 1,300 barrels of liquid mud.

The Jones Tide and her sistership, powered by Cater- pillar diesels, have a free running speed of 12 knots.

The Jones Tide and Laughlin Tide are each equipped with two General Motors 8V71 die- sel engines driving 125-kw generators. They are fitted with two 2,000-pound anchors with a total of 1,080 feet of l^-inch high-strength steel link chain.

Each vessel is also equipped with a Mur- ray Tregurtha bow thruster for improved maneuverability during loading and off- loading.

They are ABS classed, Maltese Cross, A-l,

AMS full ocean towing, carry Panama Canal and Suez Canal admeasurement certificates, and are U.S. Public Health approved.

The Tidewater vessels were built at Halt- er's Moss Point, Miss., Division, one of 10 shipyards owned and operated by Halter in the Southeastern United States. Halter is the world's largest builder of supply vessels for the offshore oil and gas industry. advanced marine enterprises,incorporated
