Mid-Coast Marine To Build

Jensen-Designed Freezer

Longliner

Jensen Maritime Consultants, Inc. (JMC) has completed the design for a new generation 59 x 24-ft. (18 x 7.3 m) freezer longliner. The Seattle- based naval architecture firm has designed the new vessel for Jim and

Rhonda Hubbard of Seward,

Alaska. Mid-Coast Marine Oregon will build the vessel at the company's

Coos Bay, Ore., shipyard.

Construction began in June, and delivery is scheduled for January 1997.

The design of the new freezer long- liner continues Jensen's trend of maximizing capacity, technical con- tent and comfort of new and convert- ed fishing vessel designs based on length limits imposed by various fishing regulations.

The vessel design is reportedly suited for small boat fishing opera- tions interested in producing value added products, such as those with individual fishing quotas in the

Alaskan halibut and sablefish fish- eries.

The vessel will initially be equipped to longline for halibut, sablefish, cod and turbot. Future

September, 1996 outfits would enable crabbing and tendering. Fish will be preserved in two fiberglass lined cargo holds either by ice, refrigerated seawa- ter or freezing. A processing room located on the main deck is equipped with heading and gut- ting stations, a wash tank and two plate freezers.

The hull and foremast are steel, and the pilothouse and aft mast are aluminum. The full-bodied hull is complimented with a bul- bous bow to enhance hull resis- tance and seakeeping. The hull has also been designed so that a midbody can be added amidships.

The vessel also has a removable aluminum shelter deck to facili- tate crabbing and tendering oper- ations.

Argonaut Marine of Seattle, has been retained by Mid-Coast

Marine to perform the numerical control (NC) lofting in support of fabrication of the steel and alu- minum structure. Farwest Steel of Eugene, Ore., will provide structural materials and plate cutting.

THERE ISN'T ANY

To the right of that familiar tim- ber pile is the first genuine innovation in piling construction in decades: the

SEAPILE "Composite Marine Piling.

Whether it is used for fender piling or light structural pile, SEAPILE provides a durable, environmentally friendly alternative to creosoted or chemically treated timber.

SEAPILE is made from Duralin® plastic, a matrix of 100% recycled resin that bonds with the pile's fiber- glass reinforcing elements. Impervious to marine borers, SEAPILE is also resis- tant to ultraviolet light, chipping and spalling. It is currently available in 10", 13" and 16" diameter, with pile lengths of up to 90 feet. The SEAPILE drives like a wood pile with the same machinery.

So make sure your next piling purchase is truly beyond compare.
