Lufkin 3:1 reverse/reduction gears. Maneuverability is en- hanced by a Schottel bowthruster driven by a GM8V71 diesel en- gine.

She can carry 5,000 cubic feet of dry bulk mud in her four

Smatco tanks and 1,500 barrels of liquid mud in four additional tanks. Her spacious 4,100-square- foot aft deck can carry up to 700 tons of cargo.

The new tug/supply vessel can also carry 50,184 gallons of fuel oil, 1,000 gallons of lube oil, 10,000 gallons of potable water, and 211,000 gallons of ballast.

Auxiliary machinery includes two Delco 125-kw generators driv- en by two GM8V71 diesel engines, two Quincy D325 air compres- sors, and Carrier air-conditioning and heating for crew comfort.

Four Aurora 344 pumps move bilge, ballast, and fuel oil and fire-fighting liquids, while one

Viking HL195D pumps oily water bilge and another serves as a fuel oil standby pump.

Some of the deck equipment aboard includes: one Smatco 1500

In addition to the vessel's on- board fire-fighting system, she is also equipped to fight ship fires with a 500-gpm monitor located on top of the pilothouse. The monitor is served by an Aurora 421 pump and driven by power from a GM6-71 diesel engine.
