The newbuilds will comply with

Sub Charter L regulations and

SOLAS regulations, which are the latest safety rules and regulations.

The vessels will be all electric with

Ulstein Z Drives driven by 500 hp

AC motors. The boat will have an electrical generating capacity of 1

MW. Four Caterpillar diesel engines will provide the power to drive the generators.

Bollinger Takes On

Conversion Project

Bollinger Quick Repair (BQR) has taken on one of the most com- prehensive inland conversion pro- jects of its kind with the repower- ing of M/V Harriet Ann, a 198 x 50 ft. (60 x 164 m)., fourdeck, triple screw inland river towboat. The repowering project will consist of the installation of three new engines with three reduction gear units, three new kort-nozzles, and three new Bollinger-manufactured propellers.

The project will also include the redesign of the vessel's engine- cooling system. BQR will also replace the vessel's outdated wood- en tow-knee pads with rubber tow- knee pads. The vessel will be repowered with three EMD 12- 710G-7B engines cooled by

Fernstrum grid coolers coupled to

Lufkin RSQ 3626 reduction gear units with a ratio of 4.341:1. The strut bearing assembly, which is currently oil-lubricated, will be converted to water-lubricated.

E.N. Bisso & Son To Build

New Tug Series

E.N. Bisso & Son requested 18 shipyards to submit bids for con- struction of up to four tugboats, of a newly designed class.

Primary function of these vessels will be docking and ship assist operations on the Mississippi

River. The new tugs will be 105 x 40 ft. (32 x 12 m). Each tug is designed to generate 66 tons of bol- lard pull. Main propulsion will be two EMD engines, with two Falk 6.1:1 reduction gears and twin 138 in. propellers, encased in Kort noz- zles. Each propeller/nozzle arrangement will have main and flanking rudders, each capable of being independently controlled, allowing the tug's Master to select the mode best suited to the current assignment. Design Associates, of

New Orleans, is the naval archi- tect on the project.
