APOLLO ONE

Tacoma Boatbuilding

The Apollo One, first oceangoing hazardous waste incinerator ship designed and built in the U.S., was launched at the Tacoma Boatbuild- ing Company's Yard No. 3 in Ta- coma, Wash., recently. The $37-mil- lion vessel and sister ship, the Apol- lo Two, are being constructed for

At-Sea Incineration, Inc. (ASI) of

Port Newark, N.J., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tacoma Boat.

Built with the aid of Federal Title

XI loan guarantees, these ships have been designed to meet all existing environmental and safety standards of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Envi- ronmental Protection Agency, the

Maritime Administration, and the

National Bureau of Standards, among others, and are the first of their kind to meet the criteria of the

American Bureau of Shipping.

The Apollo One can safely de- stroy up to 30 million gallons of haz- ardous waste each year. She is the first in a fleet of ships that ASI will operate at federally approved ocean burn sites. The currently approved site is in the Gulf of Mexico near

Cameron, La.; the other, whose ap- proval is expected shortly, is in the

Atlantic Ocean. Both are 150-200 miles out at sea.

To support the burning of hazard- ous waste materials at sea, ASI will operate a multimillion-dollar ma- rine transfer terminal near each of the burn sites. These commercial terminals will collect, test, blend, and temporarily store a variety of hazardous waste materials prior to transferring them to the incinera- tion ships for disposal.

The launch of Apollo One culmi- nates years of cooperative effort among international regulatory agencies, the Federal Government, and private industry to develop an environmentally acceptable alterna- tive to the inadequate and often dangerous hazardous waste disposal methods of the past.

Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping as + Al E Chemical Car- rier, + AMS, +ACCU, +IS, the

Apollo One is designed with accom- modations forward, chemical waste cargo tanks amidships, and propul- 36 Circle 134 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
