Klyne Fleet Developments (Continued from page 47) tug/supply vessel is taking shape at the

Matsuura Tekko Zosen yard in Japan, and scheduled for delivery on January 20, 1999.

Readiness for the tasks for which she has been designed will be immediate, since the ves- sel will make the delivery voyage to the U.K. from her yard of build at Higashino, in

Hiroshima prefecture, with all towage and sal- vage equipment aboard.

To be named Anglian Monarch, the 1,480-gt newbuilding has been specified with two

Niigata main engines producing a total of 11,400-bhp. Drive will be to nozzled, variable pitch propellers. Maximum free running speed is expected to be 15.7 knots, and the beefy installation and double-drum, waterfall-type winch promise a bollard pull of 150-tons. Twin, independently controlled, 'fishtail' rudders will improve slow-speed handling performance, and maneuverability will be enhanced by the adop- tion of single Kamewa tunnel thrusters fore and aft, each direct-driven by a Mitsubishi diesel. Anglian Monarch, under construction to Bureau Veritas' deep sea tug class notation, will offer a deck load capacity of 150-tons across an area of 235 sq.m. otherwise required for

Powering Up While Keeping Draft Low "We call it moving rigs around in the duck pond," says Matt Cheramie with Louisiana based Central Gulf Towing. He explains an important focus of the company is towing inland barge rigs in the bays and bayous of the

Gulf South. Central Gulf currently has a fleet of nine boats which work inland and offshore from

Texas to Massachusetts to the Caribbean. In early August the keel of their 10th boat was laid at Rodriguez Boatbuilders in Bayou La Batre,

Ala. The new boat — Celia Ann — will be a sis- ter to a pair of shallow draft 65 x 22-ft. (20 x 6.7 m) conventional model bow tugs which were delivered earlier this year.

The first two tugs, Helen and Jane, have 12- cylinder two-cycle diesels. In the planning stages of the third tug, the company examined the possibility of increasing hp and fuel effi- ciency. The owner concluded that the Cummins six-cylinder N14 engine would offer better fuel efficiency and lower maintenance costs, as well as create a savings of $40,000 compared to pre- viously purchased engines.

The new boat, with a pair of N 14s rated at 440 hp each, will be a 1,200 hp class boat. One of the challenges for increased power in shallow water towing is to maintain a shallow draft. To maintain the 6.5-ft. (2 m) draft, the company decided to lower the gear ratio on the Twin Disc

Model 5114 gears from 5.17:1 on the 359 hp engines to 4.86:1 on the 440 hp Cummins N14 engines. This adjustment reportedly allowed them to keep the same size propeller, which will turn faster, to take advantage of the increased power, while maintaining the same shallow draft. A pair of Cummins 4B 40 kW gen sets will complete the vessel's power package.

Bollinger Delivers Three New USCG

Patrol Boats

Bollinger Shipyards has delivered three

USCG Marine

Protector Class Patrol

Boats recently. The vessel was designed to meet the operational mission requirements established by the

USCG Assistant

Commandant for Operations for speed and effi- ciency in law enforcement, as well as search and rescue missions while providing accommo- dations to support crew readiness on all mis- sions. Engineers married the proven Damen

STANS 2600 hull design with a stern ramp for

RIBs deployment used by UK fisheries agents.

An aluminum superstructure minimizes the vessel's weight and facilitates maintenance of speed when needed. The 205-sq.ft. pilot house, almost five times the area on the Point Class cutters being replaced, can accommodate many, even all of the crew. This command center, with a fully integrated command system, provides unobstructed visibility at a full 360 under all weather conditions.
