MICHAEL LUHR

Jeffboat

Circle 73 on Reader Service Card

Jeffboat built the 170-foot long by 48-foot wide twin-screw line haul pushboat, Michael Luhr, for Luhr

Bros., Inc. The M/V Michael Luhr is equipped with two 16-cylinderEMD engines driving a Bird Johnson 110- inch propeller for propulsion, and two Detroit Diesel generators for ship service power. The EMD en- gines separately generate 3,400 hp, for a combined output of 6,800 hp.

Other equipment features of the

Michael Luhr include Mathers en- gine controls, Jeffboat Z-slot steer- ing controls and Scot Forge shaft- ing. Electronic equipment includes

VHF and SSB radio from Dataronics, and radar from Furuno.

The entire deckhouse is isolated from the hull, an innovation which

Jeffboat pioneered. The design af- fords the crew the comfort of a vibra- tion- and noise-free environment while in the quarters, galley and pilothouse. The vessel is utilized to move 30-plus barges of stone from the Luhr quarries down the Missis- sippi River. Luhr Bros., Inc. of Co- lumbia, 111., is a major contractor for construction and dredging projects for the Corps of Engineers.

The vessel was finished with coat- ings from Porter International.

AL MUTAHEDA 1

Bender Shipbuilding

Circle 75 on Reader Service Card

Bender Shipbuilding constructed the A1 Mutaheda 1 shrimper and shipped it, aboard a heavy lift cargo ship, to the Port of Shaiba, Kuwait.

The vessel is the first of 10 to be constructed for the United Fisher- ies and Bubiyan Fisheries, both

Kuwaiti companies. The balance of the fleet is to be shipped at the end of 1992, and the contract includes an option for 10 additional vessels.

The A1 Mutaheda 1 measures 83 feet long with a beam of 24 feet, and has a full-load draft of eight feet.

Classified ABS, +A1 Fishing Ser- vice + AMS, the vessel is powered by a Caterpillar 3412T main engine, delivering 540 bhp at 1,800 rpm, with Twin Disc MG518 marine gear, 5:92:1 ratio. This drives a four- blade Kaplan Manganese Bronze propeller, operating in a Kort nozzle, to a top speed of 10 knots.

The boat's electric power is sup- plied by two Cat Model 3304 NA generator sets rated 50 kW at 1,500 rpm. Raytheon supplied much of the electronic navigation equipment, including a V82 Color Depth Re- corder, SSB radio and VHF radio,

G.P.S. and radar. Navigation sys- tem equipment is rounded out with a Robertson Shipmate AP45 autopi- lot and Intercom loud hailer.

Deck machinery includes a

McElroy 620DD main winch, with five groove V-Belt drive from the main engine front PTO to an over- head line shaft and number 100 roller chain and sprocket drive to the winch pinion. The trynet winch is a McElroy 40 IE electric unit.

The net fish hold volume of the boat is 3,180 cubic feet in bale, and the vessel can also hold 21,840 gal- lons of fuel, 200 gallons of lube oil, and 5,280 gallons of fresh water.

PUGET SOUND FIRE

BOAT

Workboats Northwest Inc.

Circle 77 on Reader Service Card

Workboats Northwest delivered this 26.5-foot by 9.5-foot fireboat to

Bremerton, Wash., home of the

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

The vessel, which was also de- signed to act as a floating pumping station and as a search and rescue boat, is constructed complete with a dive door and the swimmer-safety feature of a waterjet drive.

Basic power for the vessel is pro- vided by a 460-cubic-inch, 355 hp

Kodiak gasoline engine driving a single 2,500 gpm Berkeley pump.

The boat's valving system directs water flow to propulsion and firefighting systems.

A relatively shallow-draft vessel, the boat will speed to better than 33 mph with the Berkeley steerable water jet. Bow thrusters from

Workboats Northwest allow the boat to hold its position or maneuver in restricted areas.

Bow-mounted fog nozzles provide a heat screen. The unnamed boat can help fight marine and shorefront fires with a bow-mounted monitor capable of delivering up to 1,200 gpm.

As a floating pumping station for fighting shorefront fires, water is pumped through an aft hydrant with two 2.5-inch or one five-inch stan- dard Stortz connections to supply water to shore-based fire appara- tus, or to fill water tenders where landside hydrants are not available.

The boat also carries a 20-gallon

Class B foam system.

Wheelhouse furnishings include

Morse controls, Kodiak engine in- strumentation and alarm systems, and electronic gear such as GPS, video sounders, radars, radio tele- phones, loud hailers and full fire siren and light system.
