Southeastern Alaska

  • Boyer Towing, Inc. of Ketchikan, Alaska, will take delivery in April this year of a new 86-foot, twinscrew tug under construction at Martinac Shipbuilding Corporation in Tacoma, Wash. The 1,800-bhp vessel, with a beam of 25.5 feet and depth of 15 feet, was designed by Glosten Associates of Seattle.

    Two six-cylinder Stork-Werkspoor FHD-240 diesel engines will each provide 900 bhp at 900 rpm.

    They will drive twin propellers via Masson reverse/reduction gears.

    The engines were sold through the Seattle office of SWDiesel Gulf, Inc., which is headed by West Coast sales manager Charles Garman.

    The French-built Masson gears were supplied through Diesel Power International of New Orleans.

    Last year Boyer had an existing tug, the Brenda H., repowered with a Stork-Werkspoor 9FHD-240 diesel with Masson reverse/reduction gears. Since then that vessel has been operating in barge and log raft towing in Southeastern Alaska.

    Electric power for the new vessel at Martinac will be provided by a 30-kw Ford/Onan generating set and a Lister 8-kw auxiliary generator.

    The tug will have a capacity for 28,700 gallons of fuel oil, 800 gallons of lube oil, and 2,000 gallons of fresh water.
