vessel was constructed to ABS, +A1, +AMS, Harbor Service Fire Boat

Standards. The 107-foot by 25-foot boat has a displacement of 215 tons.

At sea trials the vessel delivered in excess of 10,000 gpm of water from a combination of monitors and hoses, the fire pumps powered by twin

Cummins KTAl9 engines. The ves- sel also features a spray curtain around its perimeter to protect her- self from heat when fighting close- in fires or performing rescue opera- tions.

The navigation controls feature all Raytheon equipment, including the Raytheon 10 kW, 48-mile 71 radar; 7001 autopilot; two Raystar 590 GPS navigators; Raytheon 82 loud hailer; and Raytheon 152, SSB radio. The vessel is equipped with

Kobelt air controls and has trolling valves for the ZF Gears for maneu- vering in tight spaces. With the assistance of the Magnum Bow

Thruster by American Bow Thruster

Co., the vessel can turn 360 degrees in her own length.

Provided with tachometers, in- struments and shaft tacks, the op- erator of the boat has a visual dis- play of the basic instruments backed up by an elaborate monitoring sys- tem which provides early warning of system failure on any on of the six diesel engines, including bilge, fire and other alarms.

The firefighter has Kobelt air con- trols for the two pumping engines, as well as front PTO controls to select hydraulic drive for the

Telesquirt ladder, anchor wind- lasses, bow thruster or HIAB crane.

The Telesquirt ladder is hydrauli- cally controlled from the base of the ladder and is used to direct a 750 gpm nozzle at a height of 85 feet off the water. To fight chemical fires, the extended ladder nozzle can lay foam on the deck of a tanker or roof of a warehouse.

A unique feature of the vessel is its vibration isolated upper deck and pilothouse, which offers the crew a more comfortable ride and reduces stress on sensitive communication and navigation equipment. Viking

Maritec reports that the Viking 2000

Class design offers the advantage of reduced lube oil consumption, 50,000 hours before engine overhaul, full ahead to full astern in eight seconds flat, and a large potable water ca- pacity.
