Wiiiardi Builds Conpositc

Boats For L.A.

Willard Marine, Inc. of Anaheim, Calif., is constructing two identical 52-ft. (15.8-m) pilot boats based on a contract awarded by Worldport

LA. The design is by C. Raymond Hunt &

Associates, Boston, and features molded fiber- glass hulls with aluminum decks and super- structures. The vessels are scheduled for deliv- ery by mid-1995.

Powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel engines, each rated at 530 bhp, the deep-V, hard chine hull will have a top speed of 25 knots in order to serve the traffic at peak hours in this busy port.

Scantlings are to ABS standards with additional reinforcements to meet the tough service. The design incorporates the latest technology for low sound and vibration transmission to the crew.

The construction materials were selected to , of each. The molded requires mini- mal maintenance and has high impact-absorb- ing flexural properties. Above decks, the welded aluminum superstructure allows the cabin and boarding areas to be customized to the exact requirements of the Port of Los Angeles pilots.

A rescue system will be incorporated which consists of a two-part transom mounted plat- form; a grid section acts as a guard to prevent contact with the propellers and a hinged section can be lowered into the water and used to scoop up an unconscious or injured person.

Construction time has been compressed as the decks and superstructures are being constructed on the plant floor while the hulls are molded.

After the machinery is installed in the hulls, the decks and superstructure as a completed unit are lifted and installed.

Ed Shearer, president of Shearer & Assoc.,

Inc., announced the completion of the 175 x 60 x 12-ft. (53.4 x 18.3 m x 3.7-m) inland service deck barges Potomac and Wicomico. These barges were built by Nashville Bridge Company (Nabrico) — which was recently acquired by the Trinity

Marine Group — for the Salisbury Towing Cor- poration of Norfolk, Va. The barges, designed by the Metairie, La., naval architecture firm, will be used in Salisbury's Chesapeake Bay aggregate movements. The barges have cargo capacities of 4,500 tons each and an allowable deck loading in excess of 2,000 lbs. per sq. ft.

The barge design was derived from the previ- ous Nabrico-built barges, James and

Susquehanna, which were 350 x 60 x 12-ft. (106.7 x 18.3 x 3.7-m). Shearer & Assoc., Inc. worked closely with Salisbury Towing Corpora- tion on both barge designs regarding Salisbury's tonnage requirements and operating environ- ments, with consideration for barge strength and weight. Shearer & Assoc., Inc., also pro- vided site owner representation during construc- tion of the barges.
