ASHLEY ALYSE

MCCALL

Gulf Craft

Circle 72 on Reader Service Card

The Ashley Alyse McCall is a 160- foot by 30-foot aluminum crewboat from Gulf Craft, Inc.

The crewboat features both for- ward and aft steering stations in the pilothouse, which offers 360 degree visibility.

Powered with six Cummins model

KT-19M diesel engines that gener- ate 680 hp each at 2,100 rpm, the engines propel the vessel to a top speed of 24 knots.

Each engine is turning a 40-inch diameter propeller through a Twin

Disc MG 518 reverse and reduction gear, with a reduction ratio of 2.5:1.

The vessel owner believes that the redundancy of the six engines has helped to eliminate the down time problems which are usually associated with an engine failure.

These vessels are capable of oper- ating with one or two engines out, and with four rudders, maneuver- ing around the platform is no prob- lem in the event of the loss of those engines.

The boat has the speed and ca- pacity to service larger areas in the

Gulf of Mexico, a condition existing because of the consolidation of oil company marine bases.

The vessel has USCG approval for 101 passengers and a deck cargo capacity of 180 long tons on its after deck.

In addition to deck cargo, the ves- sel is capable of offloading 43,000 gallons of water and 13,000 gallons of fuel oil, plus it has firefighting ability with its 600 gallon per minute fire pump and deck-mounted fire monitor.

Crew space power is provided by two 50 kW Detroit Diesel 4-71 diesel generators.
