SWATH, Ferry Under Construction At

Nichols Brothers Boat Builders

The SWATH hull under construction at Nichols Brothers .

Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, Inc., Kirkland,

Wash, is constructing two vessels: a SWATH vessel for Partyline Cruise Company of Dania,

Fla. and a catamaran ferry for the City of Alameda and the Port of Oakland.

The SWATH vessel is a 122-foot, 384-passen- ger ferry that will initiate service between Fort

Lauderdale and the Grand Bahamas when it goes into service this summer.

The catamaran ferry features advanced hulls.

The under-carriage and the superstructure of the 98-foot, 250-passenger, twin-jet catamaran ferry, which will be in service on San Francisco

Bay this spring, are nearing mating. The Incat- designed catamaran, which will be propelled by two KaMeWa Model 50 waterjets driven by De- troit Diesel engines, will be used primarily as a commuter ferry between Oakland and San Fran- cisco. For more information on Nichols,

Sonsub Mobilizes AROWS-Class

Vehicles To Support Flexible Pipeline

Laying Operations

Under contract to McDermott Inc., Sonsub mobilized an Advanced Remotely Operated Work

System (AROWS) and a Viper Remotely Oper- ated Vehicle (ROV) from McDermott's Derrick

Barge 50 to assist in the laying of the Oryx

Energy Company's flexible pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico. Laying operations were conducted in water depths to 2,100 feet. A third AROWS-class vehicle, a 75-hp Triton onboard a semisubmersible drilling rig, was mobilized in conjunction with the other two vehicles to assist with pipeline lay away and completion operations. The vehicles were also used to assist with the repair of one of the flexible pipelines near the base of the West

Delta 152 platform. For more information on
