Martinac-Built Tug For Boyer

Powered By Stork Diesels

Boyer Towing, Inc. of Ketchikan,

Alaska, will take delivery in April this year of a new 86-foot, twin- screw tug under construction at

Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation in Tacoma, Wash. The 1,800-bhp vessel, with a beam of 25.5 feet and depth of 15 feet, was designed by

Glosten Associates of Seattle.

Two six-cylinder Stork-Werk- spoor FHD-240 diesel engines will each provide 900 bhp at 900 rpm.

They will drive twin propellers via

Masson reverse/reduction gears.

The engines were sold through the

Seattle office of SWDiesel Gulf,

Inc., which is headed by West Coast sales manager Charles Garman.

The French-built Masson gears were supplied through Diesel Power

International of New Orleans.

Last year Boyer had an existing tug, the Brenda H., repowered with a Stork-Werkspoor 9FHD-240 die- sel with Masson reverse/reduction gears. Since then that vessel has been operating in barge and log raft towing in Southeastern Alaska.

Electric power for the new vessel at Martinac will be provided by a 30-kw Ford/Onan generating set and a Lister 8-kw auxiliary genera- tor. The tug will have a capacity for 28,700 gallons of fuel oil, 800 gallons of lube oil, and 2,000 gallons of fresh water.

Falk Crowned Tooth Gear Couplings

Cut Application Costs

Savings averaging 15-20 percent on a project basis are claimed for selecting Falk's 1000G crowned tooth gear couplings compared with smaller-bore designs. According to

The Falk Corporation, the 1000G series has the largest bore on the market, permitting the same size coupling to be used on a larger shaft or a same size shaft.

The coupling also features Falk

Long Term Grease (LTG), which eliminates routine lubrication cycles for up to three years. Location of the lubrication hole in the sleeve assures that an adequate grease reservoir will be maintained close to the gear mesh.

Falk's 1000G couplings are also half-for-half interchangeable with all standard gear couplings, and re- placement half couplings are re- ported to provide additional hub strength and lower gear mesh loads.

Grade 8 fasteners are used for added strength, while Prevailing Torque

Locknuts (PTL) eliminate the need for lockwashers. Nonturning lock- nuts permit installation with only 1000G coupling (exposed bolt design). one wrench. Exposed bolt design is furnished as standard. Shrouded bolt design is available for sizes 1010 through 1055 when specified.

Available in coupling sizes, the 1000G series offers maximum bore capacities from 1.875 to 10.000.

The Falk Corporation, a subsid- iary of Sundstrand Corporation, is a leading manufacturer of standard and custom design gear drives and flexible couplings.
