AGNES CANDLES
ENGINES PER SHIP sounds like a lot, but in this case, they're just what the owner ordered. When Otto Candies,
Inc. ordered 4 of a new class of supply vessels to serve the Gulf offshore industry, it had one goal in mind: build tough, versatile, efficient boats with power to spare. That's because these ships have to deliver tons of fuel, water, and drilling muds to deep water sectors and remain on station in almost any condition.
The new ships are being built by Ben- der Shipbuilding & Repair, Inc. in
Mobile, AL, using a computer-integrat- ed manufacturing process that creates modular sections for expedited con- struction. No less than eight Stewart &
Stevenson engines per ship are installed for a total order of 32 engines. Twin rebuilt GM-EMD 16-645
E6 engines, capable of 1,950 hp at 900 rpm provide main propulsion. Maneu- verability is provided by a pair of
Detroit Diesel 16V-149 engines, each developing 900 hp, to drive twin
KaMeWa bowthrusters. Three DD 12V- 71W gensets each create 250kw service power, and a 75kw DD 4-71N backup genset is on board for emer- gencies.
Otto Candies, Inc. took delivery of the
M/V Agnes Candies in September. It was named for Mrs. Otto Candies, Sr., who christened it in a ceremony at the
Bender Shipyard in Mobile. Mrs Can- dies is the matriarch of the Candies family which owns and operates a fleet of tugs, supply vessels, ocean barges, river pushboats and river barges worldwide.
Stewart & Stevenson engines were chosen to power these new vessels because our DD and EMD engines have given many years of reliable ser- vice in the Candies fleet. Let us show you how S&S can provide reliable power at a low cost for your vessel. m • I
