As the oil rigs move further off shore in the Gulf of Mexico, a new genera- tion of boats are evolving to service them. At one end of the spectrum are the high speed crew boats while at the other end are the big 220-foot and larger supply boats. In the middle are the displacement-hulled utility boats.

Sea Horse Marine, Inc. took delivery of a 150 x 36 x 12-foot utility boat from

Bollinger Shipyards. With the first of Sea Horse's utility fleet to be powered by Cummins engines, the powerful and fuel efficient KTA38-MO propulsion engines enhance the speed in excess of 12 knots while under full load.

Also the first of Sea Horse's utility vessels to be equipped with a bow thruster, the Cummins NT-855M furnish manoeverability and station keep- ing capabilities never before experienced.
