- Gulf Fleet's 102nd Vessel Is Powered By EMD Diesels Maritime Reporter, Feb 15, 1981 #6
Gulf Fleet Marine Corporation has accepted delivery of the Gulf Fleet No. 44 (shown above), a 190 by 40 by 14-foot towing' supply vessel. She was built in Houma, La., by Quality Shipyards, Inc., another Gulf Fleet company, and r e p r e s e n t s t h e 102nd vessel in this rapidly growing fleet.

Powered by twin GM Electro- Motive Division 16-645E2 diesel engines that develop a total of 3,900 bhp at 900 rpm through Reintjes WAV 481 3:1 reduction gears, this vessel is capable of sustaining speeds up to 13 knots.

The No. 44 has a clear deck space of 96 by 32 feet, with a maximum deck cargo capacity of 522 long tons. Underdeck, she can carry up to 520 tons of drill water.

The vessel has bulk tanks with a 5,800-cubic-foot capacity, as well as liquid mud tanks with a 1,250-barrel capacity that provide for the carriage of 189 tons of liquid mud. Also provided in this versatile vessel are 1,250- barrel calcium chloride tanks.

Its towing package consists of a double drum SMATCO 66 DAW 200 towing winch with a drum capacity of 2,500 feet of 2-inch cable on each drum, and a 5-foot by 8-foot stern roller. With a measured bollard pull of 70,000 pounds, this vessel is classed by the American Bureau of Shipping as +A-1 (AMS), All Ocean Towing, and is built in accordance with specifications of the United States Coast Guard.

Gulf Fleet president Richard M. Currence attributes a great deal of the success and strength of the company to an extremely active construction program that he anticipates will continue. Gulf Fleet Marine provides a wide range of services to meet the needs of the offshore petroleum and offshore construction industries, and is one of the Houston Natural Gas group of companies.
