This year Shaver Transportation

Company of Portland, Ore. took de- livery of its new 76-foot, 3,000-hp ship assist tug Vancouver from J.M.

Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation of Tacoma, Wash. The Vancouver will be an important addition to, and a significant upgrading of, ship assist capbility in the Port of Port- land, and on the lower Columbia

River. The new 12-knot tug was designed by Robert Allan Ltd. of

Vancouver, B.C., Canada, and was based on the familiar Z-30 design developed by that firmforC.H. Cates & Sons Ltd. of North Vancouver. It has a beam of 28 feet and a draft of 12 feet. The tug is powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel marine diesel en- gines driving Z-drive rudder/pro- pellers, Niigata Model ZP-2As, through a reduction gear and tor- sional coupling. The propulsion sys- tem was supplied by IMPEG of

Vessel: Robert E. Rowell

Type: Workboat

Yard: Marine Inland

Fabricators

Marine Inland Fabricators of

Panama City, Fla., delivered the

Robert E. Rowell, an ABS-classed workboat, to the Department of

Sanitation of New York City on Stat- en Island.

The Robert E. Rowell is the most sophisticated boat Marine Inland has built to date.

The vessel is 25.5 feet long with a 14.5-foot beam and a 4.5-foot draft, powered by a single Detroit Diesel 8V-71 engine working a 35-inch by 34-inch four-blade bronze propeller through a Twin Disc MG-509 reduc- tion gear.

Twin flanking rudders improve maneuverability dramatically. The boat will be used primarily to tow a floating boom with a 15-foot skirt that closes off the Fresh Kills gar- bage unloading facility from New

York Harbor. Because the boom must be opened and closed frequent- ly to allow passage of the garbage barges and their tugs, one of the requirements of the vessel was to have minimum downtime for main- tenance. The engine room has two stainless steel, removable fuel tanks and all stainless steel cooling water and hydraulics systems.

Assisting in the design and prepa- ration of the drawings was D.S. In- dustrial and Marine of St. Paul,

Minn. The project manager was naval architect and professional en- gineer John R. Bond of John R.

Bond and Associates of Panama City.
