Kvichak Marine Continues Cat Excellence

Kvichak Marine Industries has furthered its presence in the catamaran and patrol boat markets by combining the two to construct patrol catamarans. The company's newest delivery is an add-on to its 54-ft. (16.4 m) patrol catamaran that was built for California Fish and

Game (CAF&G). Named

Thresher, the vessel will be joined by a sistership, Mar- lin, this coming spring.

The state of Alaska also wants to get in on this new innovation — specifically

Alaska Fish & Wildlife Pro- tection (AF&WP) — that has ordered a new cat for fisheries patrol. Based in

Kodiak, the vessel is sched- uled for a summertime deliv-

Flender Werft RoRo Ahead Of Schedule

Flender Werft delivered the RoRo vessel Slingeborg on October 27 to its owner Wagenborg Scheep- vaart — one month earlier than scheduled. The vessel is the last of a RoRo trio, which Finnish-

Swedish forestry product group StoraEnso oper- ates between Gothenburg and Zeebrugge, trans- porting heavy paper and cardboard supplies within the StoraEnso Cargo Units (SECU). Mea- suring 45 x 12 x 12 ft. (13.8 x 3.6 x 3.6 m), these specially fabricated tall containers exceed that of conventional 40-ft. containers. The company plans to use approximately 900 units of these containers, which can hold up to 70 tons of paper, for combined rail/sea transportation of products. Sailing under the Dutch flag, the ves- sel is built according to Bureau Veritas regula- tions, and is designed for transportation of up to 105 SECUs, trailers, trucks, containers, cars and general cargo. The main deck and lower hold will be loaded via a stern ramp as well as a fixed ramp within the ship, which will lead to a lower hold. Slingeborg's propulsion is produced through a long-stroke, crosshead diesel engine by Wartsila NSD, with an output of 10,920 kW at 135 rpm. The engine operates through a 125 m long shaftline onto a CP pro- peller, producing 18 knots. Electrical power supply is provided by two auxiliary diesel generators as well as one shaft generator with a total capacity of 3,360 kW.
