sion and incineration machinery aft.

A forcastle deck is provided forward and a poop deck aft.

Twelve integral cargo tanks are located to comply with require- ments for a Type II cargo contain- ment system. A pipe trunk is pro- vided on center line throughout the length of the cargo space and from the inner bottom to the main deck.

Transverse cofferdams are installed between cargo tanks. Ballast tanks are located outboard of the cargo tanks, in the double bottom space, and deep tanks forward and aft.

Fuel oil tanks are provided aft and fresh water tanks forward.

The vessel has an overall length of 396 feet, molded beam of 60 feet, molded depth of 31 feet, and design full-load draft of 23 feet 6 inches.

Deadweight at full-load draft is 7,317 tons. Liquid cargo capacity (100 percent full) is 197,730 cubic feet. Accommodations, berthing, messing, and lounges are provided forward for a total complement of 25 persons. The wheelhouse and ra- dio rooms are also forward. A cargo pump room is located aft of the car- go space, with access to the main deck. Two Flume stabilization tanks are fitted above the cargo pump room.

Circle 143 on Reader Service Card -> installed on the poop deck aft of and above the propulsion and auxiliary machinery space. An incinerator forced-draft fan room is provided immediately below the incinerators.

A central control room is located forward of the incinerator room for monitoring and controlling all cargo handling and waste incineration processes as well as centralized con- trol of propulsion and auxiliary ma- chinery.

Main propulsion is provided by twin Caterpillar D399T, 16-cylin- der, 4-stroke diesel engines, each rated 1,125 bhp at 1,225 rpm. The engines drive Columbian Bronze fixed-pitched propellers through

Caterpillar reverse/reduction gears.

Engine controls (ACCU) were sup- plied by General Electric. A Bird-

Johnson bow thruster is provided, powered by a GE 400-hp motor.

Two auxiliary generators are also driven by Caterpillar D399T die- sels.

PROVEN

Flawlessly surpassing the trial of time.

In a marine engine, dependability is an obvious benefit.

The dependability that keeps an engine running day in and day out, in all conditions, offers safety advantages that are obvious to those who go to sea.

The dependability that keeps a vessel in service, doing its job, run after run, free of downtime, has rewards that are obvi- ous to those who mind the bottom line.

For over 75 years Volvo Penta Marine engines have proven they can deliver that kind of time-tested dependability.

But there's another definition of de- pendability, not so obvious, but vital to the profitable operation of any working craft or fleet of working craft. And that's dependability when it comes to service and support.

It begins with the installation. We put all of our experience at your disposal, from the correct engine specs to pro- peller calculations, from choice of hydraulic equipment and power take-off dimensioning to speed and torque requirements.

VOLVO

When it comes to ma i ntenance we understand that time spent waiting is money lost. That's why we stock a full line of spare parts at convenient locations all around the country, ready to be deliv- ered when you need them. In addition,

Volvo Penta technicians are always on hand to solve particular problems.

At Volvo Penta we build a complete line of diesel engines for workboats, from 60 h.p. to 400 h.p. Including turbo- charged and aftercooled models that boost power and efficiency potential

Volvo Penta has made a firm commit- ment to back up its investment in the

North American Marine Industry. A commitment that has built an outstand- ing network of service and support. A system that is your guarantee that we'll be here tomorrow to back up what we sell today.
