Sdmonds, Wash., is a fast response

Ooom boat, stationary skimmer and advancing skimmer in a single package.

Widgeon is the fifth pollution control vessel Kvichak has built for Clean Sound. It is the first ves- sel of its kind, however, to incorpo- rate two different oil skimming systems into one skimming plat- form. The KML Convertible OSRV is designed for fast response and safe effective operation in harbor, near shore and offshore environ- ments. The recovery system can be safely deployed and operating within minutes by a crew of two.

The oil recovery equipment is fully integrated into the hull of the vessel and features a patented

LORI Recovery Channel design.

With the side doors and sweeping boom deployed, the 38 x 12 ft. all- aluminum OSRV becomes a 19 ft. wide "oil slick processing system."

The vessel can advance at speeds up to three knots for maximum open-water oil encounter rates.

When the vessel is stationary, the

MARCO Flow Induction system creates a powerful inflow of sur- face water to draw oily water through the recovery channel.

Two recovery modules are sup- plied with the vessel. The MARCO 12 in. Filterbelt and LORI three chain Brush Pack are oleophilic skimming devices, which automat- ically separate oil from seawater.

Both technologies are unaffected by the floating debris normally found in an oil slick. The operator chooses the Recovery Module, which is best suited to the operat- ing conditions and oil slick charac- teristics, and can "shift gears" by changing modules as conditions change.

Other vessel features include:

Twin StarDec 444/300 engines rated for 300 hp @ 3,600 rpm cou- pled to Konrad outdrive legs;

Keypower bowthruster, deck- mounted davit, 220 gal. diesel fuel tank, Hynautic hydraulic steering system, 33 barrel recovered oil tank, 24 in. diameter access hatch, and a top-end speed ot 28 knots.

HEAVY-DUTY SIGNALS by

Model S-120 Piston Horn

Chosen for use on aircraft carriers as well as commercial vessels over 200 meters in length, the S-120 utilizes an oscillaling piston dnven by 7-1/2 horse- power 3 phase 220/440 volt electric motor producing 143 dB and a funda- mental frequency of 94 Hz in 1/3 octave band at one meter.

Kahlenberg Signals were developed to withstand the pun- ishing use of commercial and military service. Their dura- bility has been demonstrated over decades of service on ocean-going vessels ranging from naval warships to com- mercial vessels. Military specifications have required extensive testing for many of these whistles and the accessories supplied with them, which have proven the exceptional qualities of Kahlenberg design and manufac- turing.
