Rebuilt 'Gulf Protector'
Features Skum/ln-Mar
Firefighting Equipment
Retrofitting existing vessels to adapt them to a variety of offshore support tasks has become customary during the past decade.
A typical such example is the M/V Gulf Pro- tector, owned by Neches-Gulf Marine, Inc. It has been totally rebuilt and upgraded at Neches-
Gulf Marine's Shipyard in Sabine Pass, Texas, and Burton Shipyards, Bridge City, Texas, to meet the newly developed lightering support design criteria as specified by her long term charterer, Skaugen PetroTrans, Inc., Houston,
Texas.
The M/V Gulf Protector has—in addition to providing lightering support—been designed to support offshore oil and gas industry with state- of-the-art firefighting and oil spill response ca- pability.
The vessel is to be permanently based off- shore Galveston but its strategic location near the Louisiana border will make her able to respond quickly to any requirements offshore coastwise Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
The Caterpillar-powered Gulf Protector fea- tures a massive firefighting system built to Fi-Fi 1 class requirements. The owner chose Skum
MK-250 EL remote-controlled fire monitors and a Fishcon fire pump package supplied by In-Mar
Systems. The entire firefighting package meets the standards of Det norske Veritas and ABS for
FIFI-1.
Each Skum remote controlled fire monitor has a capacity of5,284 gpm with a range of water stream of 425 feet.
The Fishcon engine/pump package is rated 10,568 gpm and includes a Detroit Diesel 16V149TI and an Ingersoll-Rand pump.
The firefighting system is also fitted with a
Skum foam proportioning system that will sup- ply a 3 percent AFFF foam solution to the fire monitors. Foam will be stored in converted 16,000 gallon tanks.
Skum/ln-Mar Systems were first in the early 80s to supply large capacity monitors to Ameri- can supply vessels and a number of these have been used in various offshore rig and shipboard fires in the U.S. Gulf, one of them being the
Norwegian tanker Mega Borg.
