BURRARD CLEANER

NO. 9

MARCO Seattle

Circle 66 on Reader Service Card

A newly-designed oil spill recov- ery vessel from MARCO Pollution

Control, one of the world's largest builders and designers of these types of vessels, was recently commis- sioned by a Canadian owner. Called the Burrard Cleaner No. 9, she is the largest oil recovery vessel serv- ing Canada.

The steel-hulled vessel is 75 feet long, with a beam of 22 feet, six inches and a depth of nine feet, seven inches.

It is powered by a Caterpillar 3412TA diesel engine driving an

Ulstein 370H 360-degree-rotatable

Z-drive.

The vessel also has a MARCO T- 80 stern thruster to assist in maneu- vering in confined areas.

Recovered oil is held on board in a 500-barrel-capacity sump, from which a screw pump can discharge it to other vessels or storage units.

The Burrard Cleaner No. 9 fea- tures MARCO's Filterbelt recovery technology, the heart of the company's recovery systems. The filterbelt is a unique oleophilic belt that recovers all types of oil and debris under a wide variety of condi- tions.

The OSRV features MARCO's new 4000 Series technology, which incorporates a larger four-foot-wide filterbelt and 40 hp MARCO T-52 induction pump.

This new unit can process and remove oil from seawater at a rate of up to 10,000 gallons encountered seawater per minute.

The vessel was built at the West

Coast Manly Shipyard in Vancouver under MARCO supervision for

Burrard Clean Operations Ltd., a

Vancouver, B.C., cooperative. The vessel is to be used to protect the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

The John P. Devaney is 70 feet long with a beam of 20 feet, and has a stationary draft of five feet, four inches, and an air cushion draft of three feet, six inches.

The vessel is powered by two 445 bhp propulsion GM 8V 92 TI marine diesels, and features a 385 bhp lift and forward fire pump, and a 570 bhp midship fire pump. The fire pump has a capacity of 7,075 gpm at 100 psi.

Fire monitors for the vessel were supplied by Stange.

Navigation and communication equipment includes fire, police and

Raytheon Ray-30 VHF/FM marine radios, loud hailer, Loran-C and

Furuno radar.

A portion of the vessel's side hulls remain in the water to provide the craft with maneuverability and sta- bility.

The 30-knot fireboat, in addition to enhanced fire suppression capa- bilities, provides search and rescue, security and patrol, and pollution control services. The SES is a waterborne, air-supported vessel with catamaran-like rigid side hulls, which uses a cushion of trapped air between the side hulls and flexible bow and stern seals to lift the center
