Marco Completes Modifications On

Russian Trawler

Marco Shipyard, Seattle, Wash., welcomed the 213-foot factory trawler Admiral Zavoiko to the Seattle shipyard in late October 1993. The

Zavoiko, which has undergone scheduled main- tenance, painting, engine overhauls, extensive factory modifications (including installation of

Baader 212 machinery and Marel roe grading equipment), was the first Russian vessel to be berthed at Marco's Seattle shipyard.

The Admiral Zavoiko is owned by UTRF, reportedly the largest fishing company on

Kamchatka. The vessel returned to Russian waters in December 1993.

In other shipyard activity, Marco is repower- ing the F/VLiberty Bay, as well as replacing her

U.S. Navy vessel YTT11 Discovery Bay, and

Clean Sound Cooperative's oil spill response vessel Arctic Tern. Earlier, Marco converted the trawler Dona Martita to a crabber.

Hitachi Zosen Completes Two More "Superjet-30" Foil-Assisted Catamarans

Following the delivery of the Trident Ace, the first "Superjet-30" high-speed passenger vessel, to Fuke Kaiun on September 28, 1993, Hitachi

Zosen's Kanagawa Works delivered two more "Superjet-30" catamarans: the Artemis was de- livered to Fuke Kaiun (head office in Osaka

Prefecture) on November 25, 1993, and the

Zuiko was delivered to Ishizaki Steamship Co.,

Ltd. (headquartered in Matsuyama, Ehime Pre- fecture). The Artemis and the Zuiko are two of seven foil-assisted catamarans for which orders were received last year. The Superjet series, with its advanced design, reportedly meets the requirements of a high-speed passenger vessel: superb passenger comfort, high-speed capabil- ity, and fuel economy. Both vessels are hybrid- type vessels that have twin hulls equipped with submerged hydrofoils fore and aft. The weight of the vessels is supported both by the buoyancy of the two hulls and the lift of the two hydrofoils.

The vessels also feature wide decks and spa- cious cabins unique to a twin-hull ship. Fur- thermore, the high-speed capability and fuel economy of a hydrofoil vessel are reportedly attained. Two diesel engines and two water jets, manufactured by Niigata Engineering Co., Ltd., reportedly ensure excellent maneuverability and uncompromised passenger comfort by minimiz- ing noise and vibration. Since the hulls are made of corrosion-free aluminum alloy, the ships can endure the rigors of the environment. Both vessels are 103 feet long with a breadth of 32 feet, depth of 11 feet and draft of 6 feet. The

Artemis is scheduled to be commissioned on the

Fuke-Sumitomo route. After the opening of the

New Kansai International Airport, however, it will be put into service on the access routes between the airport and Awajishima Island.

The Zuiko was put into the Matsuyama-

Hiroshima service in late December 1993.
