Outstanding Oceangoing

Vessels of 1985 (continued)

Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Or- ganization waters outside the zone.

This mission requires precise nav- igation, excellent boarding facilities, and superior communications as well as seakindliness in all kinds of weather, substantial capability in ice, and helicopter facilities. All of these requirements are fully met, and the vessel is also equipped for search and rescue operations.

Built by West Coast Manly Ship- yards of Vancouver, B.C., a division of Rivtow Industries Limited, the ship has an overall length of about 236 feet, maximum beam of 46 feet, and mean draft of 14% feet. Propul- sion is provided by two 12-cylinder

Polar Nohab F312A diesels with total output of 4,184 bhp, driving a single controllable-pitch propeller.

The vessel is classed by Lloyd's

Register of Shipping 100 Al, Ice

Class 1, LMC. Machinery and elec- trical control and monitoring sys- tems meet Lloyd's requirements for

Unmanned Machinery Space.

Designed by Cleaver and Wal- kingshaw of Vancouver, the Cowley has numerous innovative features, representing state-of-the-art tech- nology in navigation systems, com- munications, electrical monitoring and control, accommodations, heli- copter facilities, maneuvering, wheelhouse design, and boarding fa- cilities.

The unique wheelhouse is de- signed to maximize visibility in all directions. Shaped like a trapezoid with extended wings, it provides six distinct yet interdependent work stations.

Boarding facilities are provided to meet the principal mission of the ship—the boarding of offshore trawlers at sea in winds to Beaufort 7. Boarding craft are of the Water- craft RI-22 type, built by Crockett

McConnell Inc. of Bridgewater,

N.S., and are propelled by water jet drives powered by Ford Mermaid diesel engines. The port boat is launched by a Miranda davit, and the starboard craft by a HIAB 180

Seacrane.

MANITOU

Lindenau

The Paul Lindenau shipyard in 36

Kiel, West Germany, in May this year delivered the energy-saving,

IMO Type II oil/chemical tanker

Manitou to Atlantic-Rhederei F. &

W. Joch of Hamburg. This special- ized tanker is the fourth of a series that Lindenau developed in collabo- ration with the owner.

Built for worldwide trading and classed by Germanischer Lloyd, the

Manitou has an overall length of 380 feet, beam of 51.8 feet, depth to main deck of 30.5 feet, and draft on summer freeboard of 23.5 feet.

Main propulsion is provided by a

Krupp MaK 6M551AK diesel en- gine with a maximum output of 3,500 bhp at 375 rpm. Service speed is 14 knots. A Schottel bow thruster is installed for enhanced maneuver- ability. Electrical power is produced by three Volvo Penta/Siemens die- sel-driven generator sets and by a

Siemens shaft generator.

Due to the optimal lines of the hull and the patented Lindenau bul- bous bow, 20 percent less propulsion power is required for this vessel compared with similar oil/chemical tankers with the same deadweight and draft.

The double hull construction en- closing the cargo tanks reduces the amount of energy needed to heat the cargo due to the isolated air layer.
