It’s time to show off

I

t’s that time of the year again — time for another International WorkBoat Show.

The 37th installment of the show kicks off on Nov. 30 in New Orleans and runs through Dec. 2. Each year, the show is a must for the industry, a chance for companies to show off the latest products and services.

And once again in our annual WorkBoat Show issue, we show off what this industry is all about — building some of the world’s best and most diverse brownwater vessels, from ferries to towboats to tugs to patrol boats and fireboats.

In our annual Boatbuilding Review that begins on page 68, we feature these vessels and barges, about 50, that appeared in the pages of WorkBoat over the past 12 months.

Of these boats, we will once again honor 10 of them in a special breakfast ceremony before the show opens on Thursday, Dec. 1. From these 10 Significant Boats, we will choose WorkBoat’s Boat of Year for 2016. This year’s list includes two fireboats, a tug, a towboat, a passenger vessel, a patrol boat and a pilot boat.

Each year in this issue, we also highlight the top 10 news stories of the year. Again, the top story is the offshore energy slump. Yes, it continues to be extremely tough for those with close ties to the offshore sector, but there were other big stories out there that highlight the diversity of the workboat industry.

One of these stories was offshore wind energy, which finally got going in U.S. waters in 2016. A year after installing foundations from Gulf Island Fabrication, Houma, La., Deepwater

Wind LLC erected five 6-MW GE Haliade turbines at its Block Island, R.I., location. The big part of the story for the workboat industry was on the water, where the first U.S.-built offshore wind crew transfer vessel, the Atlantic Pioneer, was christened in April by Atlantic Wind Transfers of North Kingston, R.I. The $4 million, 70'6"×24'×4' aluminum catamaran was built by Blount Boats at its Warren, R.I., yard and entered service in May. This is just one example of how diversified this industry is. So be sure to sample this diversification at the WorkBoat Show. See you there.

Safety alert: Don’t ignore alarm systems

T

he Coast Guard has issued safety alert 16-16 to remind mariners of the potential dangers that can occur when alarm systems are deliberately ignored.

Recently in the Pacific Northwest, Coast Guard marine inspectors experienced two different circumstances involving the alarm and control system of steering gears onboard relatively new Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ vessels. Although neither event resulted in a marine casualty, they serve as a reminder to the potentially dangerous results that may occur when an alarm system is deliberately ignored. A false sense of operational safety develops when crewmembers continually silence what they consider to be a “nuisance alarm,” which enables a false perception of normalcy to develop.

Inspectors observed on two vessels

that repetitive alarms occurred every time crewmembers performed steering tests that attempted to move the rudder through its range of motion. The alarms indicated that “hydraulic lock” events had occurred. Each time, the alarm was simply acknowledged by the crew and the steering gear adequately moved the rudder. However, no further investigation was conducted to identify the cause of the alarm.

As the result of these events, the Coast Guard strongly recommends that owners and operators ensure the following: • Address the management of nuisance alarms in Safety Management Systems and require immediate correction of their specific causes; and • Include strict prohibitions against the pinning or securing of alarm acknowledgment buttons and switches.

Such actions should be deemed as unacceptable corrective measures as they have contributed to serious marine

casualties in the past.

For additional details, please view the entire safety alert at https://www. uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg545/alerts/1616.pdf L t. K at i e Br ay nar d U.S. Coast Guard Public Affairs Washington, D.C.

OAA’s new Zones of Confidence (ZOC) diagrams on their nautical charts are being implemented as new chart editions are issued. The new charts are being issued at a rate of about two per month.

The diagrams present information (age, position accuracy, depth accuracy and seafloor coverage) in a graded, descending confidence format of ZOC categories: A1, B, C and D, with an additional MD (maintained depth) category, meaning a channel whose depth is maintained and surveyed regularly.

Why do users of nautical charts need defined ZOC? Because, according to NOAA, “source data is deficient by today’s standards.” Translation: When you are navigating with today’s electronic navigation aids, taking advantage of the horizontal position accuracy that is far beyond the capabilities of the equipment and methods used to gather the original survey data on the charts, you can

n September I was the keynote speaker at the annual meeting of the Sons and Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen in Marietta, Ohio. The group was established in 1939 in memory of pioneer rivermen and for the preservation of river history.

I was extremely honored and humbled by the invitation, but, I thought, what would I tell this esteemed group of river historians? I finally decided to tell them how I became involved in the marine industry and how I grew to appreciate our inland river pioneers. It is a story that has its roots in anything but the rivers.

In 1962 my family got its start in the restaurant business in downtown Cincinnati. The next year, we moved to Quito, Ecuador, for five years while my father served as the program director for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). After returning to the U.S., my first job was in 1969 in the Catskill Mountains at Gilbert’s Hotel in South Fallsburg, N.Y. My next job would influence the rest of my professional life. In 1970, I accepted a position on the Delta Queen, and I’ve been hooked on river

end up cutting your margins way too close. It’s the magical thinking that arises from having blind faith in technology without fully understanding its capabilities and limitations.

Put another way, if you fix your position using GPS while navigating (we all do it every day) and plot or observe those positions on paper or electronic charts (it doesn’t matter which) consisting of survey data not obtained by GPS fixes of equal quality, then your true relation to those charted depths and any bottom features and obstructions is only approximate at best. It may be off by hundreds of feet. This accurately describes most areas outside of maintained channels or pilotage waters, and even some areas within pilotage waters. Navigators are responsible for knowing this and incorporating it appropriately into navigation procedures.

This fact will not change until everything gets resurveyed to the current technical standards of accuracy. Given the costs of such an undertaking and present fiscal realities, the odds of this happening are about zero. So if the areas of the chart you’re operating in aren’t zone categories A1 or MD, you may want to reconsider your previous risk analysis. history and river lore ever since.

In 1977, my family purchased the Mike Fink Restaurant in Covington, Ky., from Capt. John Beatty. In 1979, my company, BB Riverboats, was formed and we began booking cruises from the second deck of the restaurant.

The company gets its name from the initials of the people who were instrumental in getting the business started — my father Ben Bernstein and Betty Blake. Betty was the president of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, which was then headquartered in Cincinnati. My father and Betty were close personal friends, and there was no one better than Betty to deal with the challenges of running a riverboat company.

Our first cruise on the Ohio River was on March 15, 1980, on the M/V Betty Blake, a 400-passenger sternwheeler that was leased from Pittsburghbased Gateway Clipper Company. Shortly after we opened, we realized that the business was going to be a success. My biggest accomplishment was the co-founding of Tall Stacks Cincinnati. We are trying to put together another one for 2019.

I hold a Master of Towing Vessels/Western Rivers, a Masters 1,600-ton/Western Rivers, and a 100-ton/Inland license. I am proud of my story, just one of many that have led to a career on the inland rivers. I am interested in hearing yours. www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2016 • WorkBoat

Are OSV bankruptcies on the horizon?

By Bill Pike

S

everal workboat operators are now staring at bankruptcy as the only option left. Perhaps the most dramatic case is that of New Orleans-based Tidewater, which was once viewed as one of the strongest offshore service vessel operators in the world.

In mid-September, the company received waivers on debt repayment from its lenders that extended payment deadlines to Oct. 12. Unable to fully renegotiate the debt repayment, and unable to pay it in today’s depressed environment, Tidewater was granted additional waivers that extended the repayment deadline to Nov. 11. Another round of waivers is possible, but unlikely, according to the company. The company said that some progress has been made in the debt negotiations, but it concedes that “recent industry data, including data regarding projected levels of offshore drilling activity, a primary driver of activity within the offshore service vessel industry, has led the company to conclude that important debt terms will require further negotiation.”

AVERAGE DAY RATES SEPT. '16

CREWBOATS Under 170' $ 3,230 $ 3,230 $ 3,550 49% 170' & over $ 7,368 $ 7,368 $ 5,967 60% SOURCE: WorkBoat survey of 32 offshore service vessel companies.

Tidewater said that it was continuing to work toward amending its various debt arrangements, but there was a possibility that the company will have to consider other options, including a possible reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In this strained environment, Tidewater is not the only one in hot water. Gulfmark, Hornbeck Offshore and others are also struggling.

The market is still flooded with OSVs, with an estimated 340 new vessels still on the order books. Not all of these will enter the market. Some have been cancelled, and more cancellations are sure to come. Of the vessels on order, 57% (193) are PSVs, 42% (143) are anchor-handling tug/supply vessels and the balance are anchor-handling tugs, according to IHS Energy-Petro-

60% 83%

data’s Offshore Marine Monthly. These vessels are in addition to the 88 OSVs that have already been delivered this year.

To accommodate the new vessels, the market will have to shed scores of older vessels. This is beginning to occur, but it isn’t happening quickly enough, said IHS Energy’s Alan Pirie. He believes that a significant percentage of the vessels built prior to 2000 “may have to be removed from the OSV sector in order for market conditions to rebalance in favor of vessel owners.”

With the expense of these new generation vessels entering a tattered market, and scant demand for pre-2000 vessels to be eliminated from the global fleet, I expect to see more offshore service vessel company bankruptcies.

While the overall Index broke even, the Operators Index was down over 3.5%. Big percentage losers included OSV operators Hornbeck Offshore, Gulfmark Offshore and Tidewater.

All three are being hit hard by the depressed energy sector. One or more of these companies may end up having to file for bankruptcy reorganization.

Tidewater lost about 40% in October after the company announced that it would continue to work toward amending its debt arrangements, but there was a possibility that it would file for reorganization under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Meanwhile, Gulfmark, which dipped over 30% in October, received an offer from competitor Seacor Holdings to merge. Seacor owns approximately $54 million of Gulfmark’s debt due 2022. In its letter to Gulfmark’s board of directors, Seacor said that Gulfmark’s recent public filings show that it “appears to face a liquidity shortfall. The last several quarters have eked out compliance with bank covenants by drawing on the bank line to repurchase public debt. Very little cash has been generated from operations. It appears to be only a matter of time before Gulfmark will be in covenant default.”

Hornbeck lost almost 28% in October. In the company’s third quarter conference call with analysts in November, CEO Todd Hornbeck, said the soft market conditions persist and that he sees “no signs of a catalyst for recovery anytime soon and expect to see these conditions continue for the next several quarters, even if in the near-term, oil prices stabilize at the current level.”

emember when low energy prices were supposed to be short term because production was expected to decline in response to low prices and financial losses? We don’t hear much of that talk anymore. I bought gasoline locally for $1.99 a gallon, the cheapest price seen here in almost two years.

Across the energy spectrum low prices are now the new norm. Coal, oil and natural gas production have remained relatively stable as these industries are littered with bankruptcies. The energy pundits who track supply-demand statistics and prices expected that bankruptcies would result in reduced production as companies ceased operations. In fact the opposite has occurred, with some companies

increasing production to offset financial losses from low energy prices.

Consequently, the transport sectors are enjoying sustained lower energy prices. However, there are some obvious negatives for energy transport providers. Clearly the coal boom that occurred in the last decade is over.

Railroads that had large coal traffic bases have seen significant sustained losses in traffic. In some cases, this is irrevocable. The barge sector has also been similarly affected.

The domestic crude oil production boom has peaked. In 2013, tank barge rates were nearly double current rates, and this assumed that barges were even available for charter. Today there is a glut of tank barges and railroad tank cars for the movement of liquids. The abundance of equipment will exert downward pressure on freight rates for a long time.

Energy prices and related transport rates to move it will remain depressed.

Some say the low price bubble could persist through the rest of this decade, resulting in a long period of low prices. A lot of the attention that was previously focused on energy efficiency

By Kevin Horn will likely be placed on hold.

Barge lines and railroads will continue to move energy, but less of it will be coal. Companies with a heavy dependence on coal will have to reinvent themselves from an operations and efficiency perspective. Many railroads and barge lines are currently trying to do this. The jury is still out.

Maybe, but I suggest you consider other sources of information before determining the right agent to handle your complicated business and vessel insurance.

Let’s talk money. If you want to save insurance premium dollars there are all kinds of insurance agents who can offer these savings. But there’s so much more to it than that. In my career, I got many clients back when they found out that what they saved in premiums was more than lost on an uncovered insurance claim. In one such case, I lost a client to premium savings until he found out that his vessel was insured on a “total loss only” basis. That meant that the only way he could collect on his hull coverage was if his vessel was declared a total loss. Remember, most claims are for partial losses to the vessel.

So how do you find a professional insurance agent who can actually help

when you have a covered loss?

I’m a huge fan of going to whatever industry association you belong to and asking if they have an insurance plan or an endorsed insurance agency.

L e g a l T a lk Dockowner is liable for unsafe berth

A

fter more than a decade of litigation, a federal court in Pennsylvania, with guidance from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, has provided some closure in the envi-

ronmental disaster that resulted from a 2004 oil spill in the Delaware River.

The legal drama began to unfold almost immediately after the hull of the tanker Athos I was ripped open by a partially buried and unchartered anchor as the ship tried to berth at Citgo’s asphalt refining dock near Philadelphia. An estimated 264,000 gals. of heavy crude poured into the river and soiled some 280 miles of

shoreline.

Damage to property and natural resources totaled about $300 million.

In the ensuing litigation, the shipowner claimed that Citgo failed to provide a safe berth.

The claim was

By Daniel Hoerner based in part on an alleged breach of the “safe berth warranty” in Citgo’s voyage charter.

According to court documents, the anchor lay in federal waters, directly in the ship’s immediate approach to the berth. Citgo argued that its safe berth obligations could not be imposed to guarantee the safe approach to the berth in waters that it did not control.

An initial ruling of the district court agreed with Citgo, but it was reversed on appeal.

The Third Circuit concluded that a terminal operator has an obligation of “due diligence” in its duty of care to a visiting ship and that duty extended to protect hazards that lay in the path of a ship’s immediate approach to the berth. Consequently, Citgo was ultimately found to be liable to the shipowner.

In a July 2016 ruling by the district court, based on the holding of the Third Circuit, Citgo was ordered to pay the ship’s interests more than $55 million for the damages it incurred from the casualty, plus an additional $44 million to the U.S. government for pollution cleanup costs.

The Athos I ruling reflects the enhanced liabilities faced by wharf and dock owners for the protection of vessels calling on their facilities and to the public at large.

Call for new safety rules after Canadian diesel spill

C

anadian government officials are under pressure to come up with new shipping policies and environmental protections after the Oct. 13 grounding of the Kirby Offshore Marine tug Nathan E. Stewart, which spilled diesel fuel near Bella Bella, British Columbia.

The 95.3'×32'×13.7', 3,400-hp tug was paired with the empty DBL 55 barge when the tow went hard aground on a reef at the entrance to Seaforth Channel near Athlone Island. For more than two weeks, responders led by the Canadian coast guard struggled to contain the spill and salvage the tug, frustrated by weather and the area’s powerful tides and currents.

Within five days, the tug’s tanks had been transferred to a lightering vessel, but it was unclear how much fuel and other fluids were spilled. Houstonbased Kirby said the tug had been loaded with 59,924 gals. of diesel fuel when it ran aground, and that 6,554 gals. had been pumped from the tug into a tank on the barge before pumps failed due to water in the engine room.

The tug also carried 639 gals. lube oil,

20

WB_Newslog_LINO.indd 20

550 gals. hydraulic oil, 550 gals. gear oil, and 969 gals. dirty bilge water.

The accident brought renewed calls to restrict tanker shipping through the Inside Passage to protect the Great Bear Rainforest. Heiltsuk First Nation officials said the spill threatens dozens of species, including manila clams, a fishery that had been due to open in early November.

BC Minister of Transport Marc Garneau praised the Heiltsuk for their initial response efforts and listing the “safety and protection of the public and the environment” as the government’s first priority.

Garneau also hinted at possible changes to come to marine safety policies.

“The Nathan E. Stewart incident underlines the need for changes in the way we respond to marine pollution incidents, and that is why I am currently working on a coastal strategy to improve marine safety in a meaningful way,” he said.

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada launched an investigation of

he American Waterways Operators has granted approval to the Am erican Bur eau of Shi pi ng to carry out audits of AWO’s Responsible Carrier Program (RCP) — a big step toward implementing the Coast Guard’s new Subchapter M inspection regime for towboats, tugs and barges. Subchapter M regulations that began taking effect July 20, establish vessel safety and inspection requirements. To obtain the newly required certific tes of inspection (COIs), vessel owners and operators can opt for annual Coast Guard inspections, or adopt a Towing Safety Management System (TSMS). The RCP has origins in the 1990s, as the Coast Guard and AWO studied towing accidents and looked for ways the industry could improve safety and environmental safeguards. As the final rules for Subchapter M emerged this year, AWO submitted its RCP program for Coast Guard acceptance as a TSMS early in the process. Final approval is anticipated this fall. — Kirk

the incident. Kirby was remorseful and thanked responders.

“We deeply regret the incident that occurred with the Nathan E. Stewart tug. We understand that the incident has caused significant concern for the Heiltsuk Nation and all the people of British Columbia,” Jim Guidry, Kirby’s executive vice president of vessel operations, said in a statement thanking responders.

“But most importantly, we want to express our gratitude to the Heiltsuk Nation for their response efforts, local knowledge and generosity. Their contributions have been greatly appreciated.” — Ashley Herriman

uilt at a cost of $80 million in 2010, the Susitna, a variable-draft landing-craft prototype, has finally been sold for $1.75 million. The buyer is the Philippine Red Cross.

At press time, the boat was en route to the Philippines by barge. Once there, modifications will prepare the 195'×60' twin-hull, four-waterjet vessel for disaster relief and emergency services.

“There are over 7,000 islands in the Philippines, many of which have no facilities whatsoever,” said Lew Madden, a retired Navy captain who has shepherded the Susitna project from its inception at Lockheed in the early 2000s.

Madden also represented the Susitna’s owner, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Alaska, during the sale.

The Mat-Su Borough had originally intended to use the boat as a ferry across Cook Inlet, northeast of Anchorage, even though the boat was designed and built as a landing craft. It was largely financed by the Office of Naval Research, which saw it as an expeditionary concept to land troops and equipment on unimproved beaches.

But the borough never built the necessary infrastructure to operate the ferry and has been trying to sell the boat since 2012. The vessel was built at Alaska Ship & Drydock (now Vigor Alaska) in Ketchikan, Alaska, and delivered in 2010.

The sale was complicated by engine damage sustained during a storm a couple years ago while tied up near Ketchikan. Rainwater flooded all four

National Transportation Safety Board report on the May 30, 2015, capsizing of the fleeting towboat Miss Natalie blamed the Lower Mississippi’s high water that spring and the captain’s decision to downstream with the current toward an approaching barge tow.

The NTSB reiterated cautions issued in a joint Coast Guard-American Waterways Operators 1999 study of downstreaming maneuvers and their potential hazards. In most circumstances, moving with the current toward a barge is practical and safe, that analysis found.

“However, when casualties do occur, the risk to vessel crew is very high and the options for escape are limited,” especially for smaller towboats of lesser horsepower operating in high-water conditions, the 1999 report warned.

The 59'×28'6"×7'7", 1,600-hp Miss Natalie, operated by Western Rivers Boat Management, was pinned against the bow of a coal barge it was to move, rolled over and sank. Three crewmembers scrambled onto the tow, while the captain in a life vest was washed out of the pilothouse. A fourth crewman drowned in the vessel. The incident occurred near Convent, La., about 15 miles upriver from New Orleans.

The Corps of Engine ers could spend much more — if it can get the money. “W e’ re going to need a lot of sand, and we’ re going to need a lot of money,” Lynn Bo camaz o, chief of the Corps’ Hurricane Sandy Relief Br anch, said at the American Shore & Be ach Preservation Association national conference in Long Br anch, N.J., in Oct ober. Bocamaz o outlined plans for up to 40 beach replenishment projects over the next 20 years. Those will need an estimated 140 million cu. yds. of sand, delivered from the sea floor to shore by contractors like Grea t Lakes Dredge & Dock Company at costs between $2. 1 billion and $2. 8 billion, plus $895 million for mobiliz ation costs.

But Bo camaz o stressed that the Corps needs to prioritiz e those projects. With sea level along the most populous parts of the East Coast predicted to rise one to two feet by the 2050s, there will be a lot of competition for federal dollars.

engines, unbeknownst by the engineer who turned them over during a monthly warmup.

All four MTU 12V4000 engines had to be rebuilt at a cost of at least $1 million. “The insurance will probably cover the cost, but the borough is still arguing with them,” said Madden.

The boat will be modified to carry more weight and its passenger areas will be converted to berthing, office and clinic space.

“They’re getting a heck of a bargain and I’m happy to see it find a home,” Madden said. “It would have been a shame to never see it go to work.”

As the Miss Natalie approached the barge to make contact, the towboat’s stern swung suddenly to port. The captain was unable to regain control, and the towboat was pinned and rolled under by the barge rakes, the report said.

The probable cause of the sinking was “the captain’s decision to downstream on a linehaul tow given the prevailing conditions,” combined with the continued forward motion of the tow, the report concluded. — K. Moore

n October, New Orleans-based E.N. Bisso & Son Inc. christened its new 5,362-hp, 80'×38'×15' azimuth stern drive tug Gladys B at Signet Shipbuilding & Repair, Pascagoula, Miss.

Designed by Robert Allan Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, the new Z-drive tug, which will work in the Mississippi River, is powered by two MTU 16V4000 M64, Tier 3 diesels, putting out 2,681-hp each. The engines connect to Rolls-Royce US205, fixed pitch Z-drives with 94.49" 4-bladed nibral propellers in Kort nozzles. The propulsion package gives the tug a bollard pull of 60 MT ahead and 56 MT astern.

“We call her the Maserati of the river,” J. Barry Snyder, president, Signet Maritime Corp., said during his remarks at a christening ceremony in Pascagoula, Miss. “It’s a credit to the fine shipbuilders at Signet Shipbuilding.”

“We bought this yard in 2010 and have made the place a first-class facility … building boats that when you operate it, everything is where you want it to be so you can have a safe operation,” Joe Dahl, Signet vice president, told those in attendance.

“I wished I could build a boat for you,” he said to the Bisso family seated in the front row. “Today, my dream has come true.”

The boat started out as a tug for Signet’s fleet, but E.N. 26

Bisso and Signet had been in discussions about building a new tug, so Bisso decided to buy it before the Tier 4 engine regulations go into effect in 2017.

“I liked the tug and wanted to get it in before Tier 4,” William H. McDonald, E.N. Bisso’s president, said after the ceremony. “I can’t wait to get it on the river, probably in early December. I wish I had two more of them.”

Capacities include 28,649 gals. of fuel and 8,756 gals. water. On deck is a Markey DEPGF-42S, 50-hp electric bow winch. There are accommodations for six crewmembers in three staterooms.

Baltimore’s gritty waterfront has been undergoing a slow transformation since the 1980s. Now, sportswear maven Kevin Plank of Under Armour has added the deep pockets of his Sagamore Ventures to the effort. www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2016 • WorkBoat

Sagamore acquired Harbor Boating, operators of the city’s current water taxi fleet, in August and promptly began an ambitious newbuild program.

The first boat, Key’s Anthem, debuted during Fleet Week in October and marks a departure from the simple pontoon boats that comprise the current fleet. Five new boats will be in the water by the end of next year.

MAPC is a 30-year-old employeeowned research and development company best known for its advanced hulls, unmanned marine and land vehicles, and motion compensated land, air, and marine vehicle launch and recovery systems. The water taxi project is its first commercial venture.

Nathan Baugher, program manager for the water taxis, recalled the original meetings with Kevin Plank where he outlined his vision for the boats.

“He told me to go and spend time at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and study the hull forms of the tradi-

His team set about designing the iconic boat Plank requested. MAPC created an aluminum water taxi with a raised wheelhouse and round stern referencing the “Hooper’s Island draketail,” a boat used by Maryland watermen for crabbing and harvesting oysters.

Unlike the pontoon boats, the new boats will load from the midship with wheelchair ramps. There is stowage for eight bicycles onboard. Seating is ar-

The flooring is Plastdek, a man-made, repairable material made to mimic a wooden deck.

The new boats will evolve as the 10-boat order progresses, according to Baugher. Key’s Anthem is powered by twin Beta Marine diesel engines but future boats will be diesel-electric hybrids. The Beta engines are rated at just 38-hp each. Baugher said this would provide a fuel-efficient propulVisit Us at the International WorkBoat Show, Booth #3335

ZF 25A 2.71:1 reduction gears turn 18"×12" bronze 4-bladed props. There is no generator onboard. Ship’s service power is supplied by two Balmer 24 VDC alternators.

The raised pilothouse features two captain’s chairs, one adjustable for young riders to climb into so they can get a look at the helm. Steering is provided by SeaStar Optimus electronic power steering. Navigational equipment is a Garmin GPSMAP 721.

When it came to the exterior look of the boat, Plank wanted something that would make a statement. So the MAPC team came up with a black hull with a boot stripe based on the Maryland flag.

The topcoat is an engineered coating

developed for the aeronautical industry.

Baugher said it will be more maintainable than traditional gel coat and will not fade. The windows are designed to slide open and stow in the headlong for open-air travel.

Sagamore is planning to expand the reach of the water taxi to add commuter service into the city. With this in mind, the boats will have onboard Wi-Fi and GPS tracking. Sagamore is working in partnership with Uber to add on-demand water taxi service in the future. — Kathy Bergren Smith

hen Labor Day has passed and the summer visitors are gone, new work starts on New York’s Fire Island. Fall and winter are prime time for building contractors, and the new 78'×24'×4' ferry Turtle built by Miller Marine Inc., for Fire Island Ferries

will be hauling equipment and material to them across Great South Bay. “It’s a deck boat with an elevated pilothouse, nothing fancy, but it’s robust,” said Blake Miller, a vice president at the family-owned shipyard in Deltaville, Va. “Our customer, Fire Island Ferries, have a number of different ferries by different builders.

Coast Guard certified for Subchapter T operation, the 82-dwt ferry can carry eight passengers. But it is built primarily for cargo and containers, with a 78'×20' deck, a bow ramp, and 12-ton National deck crane.

to draft,” Miller said. “We did all the design in-house, and we partnered up with Donald L. Blount and Associates,” the Chesapeake, Va., engineering firm, he said. DLBA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Gibbs & Cox Inc. Designed to ABS and Coast Guard standards, Miller Marine came up with the following package: twin Cummins QSL9 engines putting out a total 580 hp at 1,800 rpm, and Twin Disc MGX5114 HD marine gears with 2.5:1 reduction ratios. Two 36"×30", 4-bladed ZF propellers are recessed in tunnels to keep the draft at 4'.

The combination yields a service speed of 9 knots — and nimble maneuverability, which sometimes can be difficult with recessed propellers. “It can turn in its own length. The boat handles phenomenally for a tunnel boat,” Miller said.

The Homer, Alaska, boatyard built the Alaska Nellie for Alaska Wildland Adventures, operating out of Seward and Cooper Landing, about an hour north of Seward.

“It’s kind of a unique situation,” said Eric Engebretsen, Bay Welding Services general manager. Bay Welding did the concept design and Coastwise Corp. in Anchorage did the engineering and stability work.

One of the vacation packages offered

by Alaska Wildland Adventures is a raft trip from Cooper Landing down the Kenai River to Skilak Lake. There the Alaska Nellie meets rafters at the mouth of the Kenai River where there’s a fair amount of current. The boat has to hold in place with its bow into the current, while a raft — loaded with up 9:08 AM to 10 people — ties off at the stern, allowing passengers to board over a loading platform.

The boat then takes two raft-loads of passengers across Skilak Lake, which can get rough, to a lodge about six miles across the lake. There they disembark over a landing craft-style bow ramp. Passengers are also transported from the lodge to a load-launch ramp.

It’s about 20 miles round-trip.

“It needed to be able to travel at good speed to make multiple trips in a day,” said Engebretsen. With 22 passengers, he said the boat easily cruises at 22 knots.

The lake can also get quite shallow as you approach the shore. So shallow draft was another design consideration.

While the hull has an operational draft of 2', jack plates on the outboards allow it to operate in 16" of water.

The Alaska Nellie was completed at the end of October and will go into service in May 2017. — Michael Crowley

HAS THE US GULF BOTTOMED OUT?

wo problems have plagued the workboat industry in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) in the last few years. One was the booming shale play onshore in the U.S. The second, a consequence of the first, has been low oil and gas prices that made it hard, and often impossible, to make the economics work for workboat owners.

Recently, however, a ray of hope surfaced. Oil prices have been slowly rising from its $26-bbl. low in February, doubling to almost $52 bbl. in October. This upward price movement was helped by a fall in U.S. crude stockpiles. Also supporting oil price increases was optimism that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will secure an output cut. However, there are now doubts about OPEC’s ability to implement its planned production cut, which caused prices to fall in late October.

Prices dipped almost 3% on Nov. 2 to $45.49 bbl. on news that crude stockpiles rose by 14.4 million bbls. for the week ended Oct. 28, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Analysts expected a buildup of only 1 million bbls. It was reportedly the biggest ever rise in U.S. crude stockpiles in a week.

Also, in October, the EIA estimated U.S. production in 2017 would be 100,000 bopd higher than in its previous forecast. This will be exacerbated by expected higher production in Russia and lower projected oil consumption globally in 2017. All this equates to a projected 2017 price for WTI of approximately $50 bbl. That price is not high enough to restart the GOM. John Hess, chief executive of Hess Corporation, said in a talk at the Oil & Money conference in London in October that restarting longer-cycle activity in the deepwater GOM requires oil prices in the $60- to $80-bbl. range.

Given this scenario, oil prices that are sufficient to restart GOM deepwater ac-

tivity seems unlikely in the next couple of years.

This hasn’t gone unnoticed by workboat owners or analysts. “We are in for another tough year for the offshore industry,” IHS Energy-Petrodata marine analyst Richard Sanchez said. “In the U.S.-Gulf, OSV owners have squeezed their operating costs as much as possible, and don’t believe they can shrink their margins any further. Day rates are very low for new charters, with little to no margin for the vessel owners. OSV resale values are also very low, but very few sale prices have been disclosed.”

According to the October issue of IHS Energy’s Offshore Marine Monthly, “reductions in rig activity continue to grind down base demand for offshore supply vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.” Out of 32 contracted floating drilling rigs, only 22 have been working. There are five jackups under contract, but only three are working, according to Offshore Marine Monthly.

Platform rigs, meanwhile, are down to three active units out of 19 under term charter.

The report noted that in September, “the total supply of vessels in the U.S. Gulf swelled by 10 as three AHTSes and seven PSVs returned from jobs abroad.”

According to the IHS report, out of the 410 vessels of all sizes in the GOM, 108 are working on term contract and 84 are employed in the spot market.

Most of those 192 vessels are working at significantly reduced day rates.

he Coast Guard-industry joint effort for safer towing vessels and the removal of their uninspected label culminated with the June release of the final Subchapter M rule.

At last count by the Coast Guard, 5,719 previously uninspected vessels

www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2016 • WorkBoat

WB_CoverStory_LINO.indd 37

SUBCHAPTER M FINAL RULE RELEASED

officially came under the new regime on July 20 — 3,905 of those in the Coast Guard’s Ninth District and the Western Rivers. But there is still a two-year phase-in until July 20, 2018, to comply with most of the final rule. It will be fully in place by 2022.

Even after years of working together closely on what the final rule would bring, there was still some uncertainty between the industry and Coast Guard over the final version. At an Oct. 4 roundtable American Waterways Operators hosted in New Orleans for operators, a Coast Guard update noted 274 issues and questions that were being resolved.

Topping the list is how the Coast Guard will interpret definitions of “major conversion” and “replacement in kind” for existing vessels. It was an immediate concern for operators who were worried that upgrading existing towing vessels with new, more efficient and cleaner engines could kick them into a category with newbuild boats, when vessels with keels laid after July 20, 2017, will be subject to more stringent requirements.

“There are things still in flux with Subchapter M,” said Scott Kuhaneck, towing vessel program manager in the Coast Guard’s Office of Commercial Vessel Compliance, as the questions came pouring in. But repowering will not be a problem for operators, because under longstanding policy most of those will not rise to the level of major conversions, Kuhaneck said.

Those determinations will be made on a case-by-case basis by the Coast Guard Marine Safety Center. Upgrading engines for better fuel efficiency, environmental compliance, and alternative fuel use are not normally considered major conversions, according to the Coast Guard.

That position is based on the 35-year-old Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 10-81, which set out guidelines for classifying major conversions, well before Subchapter M. In its introduction, NVIC 10-81 lays out the rationale that now applies to towing vessels as well.

37

11/2/16 5:46 PM

Those regulators in 1981 recognized that “it is costly and impractical to require existing vessels to be modified each time a safety standard is updated,” the NVIC said.

“However, when a major conversion or modification of an existing vessel is planned, there is a definite intent to extend the service life of the vessel,” the policy stated. “When this is the case, it is appropriate to bring the entire vessel into compliance with the latest safety standards where reasonable and practicable.”

“Repowering may be deemed a major conversion if the intent is to extend the economic life of the vessel. Other re-engining modifications may not be deemed a major conversion if the economic savings of the conversion would be realized during the vessel's normal life,” the policy stated.

There is also precedent for considering dual-fuel and liquefied natural gas conversions exempt from major conversions. That was the case when steam-powered vessels were converted to diesel for fuel efficiency.

A major selling point of the new rule — and a practical matter to the already overextended Coast Guard — is Subchapter M’s flexible options for handling inspections. Operators can request Coast Guard inspections, use

approved in-house safety management programs and surveys, or engage approved thirdparty inspection consultants.

The 2,800 combined horsepower has another purpose — driving the bow of the Atlantic Pioneer hard against the base of turbine towers, ensuring adhesion of the boat’s massive bow bumper while technicians safely climb a podium stair to the towers.

“The boat is basically built around the technicians,” said Charles Donadio, president of Atlantic Wind Transfers.

The cabin was built as a separate structure, isolated from the hull’s vibration, with shock mitigating suspension seats for the crew and technicians.

Blount built the vessel under license from South Boats IOW, a United Kingdom-based designer and builder of CTVs for the British and European offshore wind industry. Based on the company’s 21-meter design, it is midsized as CTVs go.

Other wind developers and equipment suppliers took note of the Blount design. Fishermen’s Energy LLC, which has plans for a five-turbine project similar to Deepwater Wind’s off Atlantic City, N.J., has been in discussions with Tuckahoe, N.J., boatbuilder Yank Marine about designing a vessel for their crews.

Across the Atlantic, British and Norwegian shipyards are eyeing the U.S. market in search of U.S. partners, the way Blount and South Boats collaborated on the first U.S.-flagged CTV. Aluminum Marine Consultants Ltd. is another company like South Boats located on the Isle of Wight in the English Channel.

“Aluminum welding was here 50 years prior, probably because we built flying boats here in the 1920s,” said AMC commercial director Rob Stewart. The industry trend is toward bigger turbines and bigger boats, and they anticipate similar needs in the U.S. industry as offshore leases develop in federal waters.

“We started with 15-meter (49') boats and now we’re going to 26 meter (85') boats,” Stewart said. That new class is powered up to 2,800 hp, a requirement not only for commuting to the job sites, but also for pulling up to the turbine towers for disembarking and picking up

NEW YORK CITY TO LAUNCH NEW FERRY SERVICE

commercial marine market.

To operate the system, city officials chose San Francisco-based Hornblower Cruises & Events, a longtime operator of tour and charter vessels in New York that formed a new subsidiary, HNY Ferry Fleet LLC. Its job is to make the system work, with a subsidized fare of $2.75 one-way, on par with the city subway system.

All of those choices were controversial, especially given that other longtime local ferry operators like New York Water Taxi and NY Waterway were unsuccessful in their bids.

“Usually, when purchasing a series of vessels of this scale, the first one is delivered about a year after the contract is signed, and subsequent boats come every six months,” wrote Tom Fox, a founder of New York Water Taxi and prominent industry figure, wrote in a skeptical commentary for Crain’s New York Business. “Will the product be a chimera? Or if the boats do materialize, will the city end up with a fleet with production problems, a short lifespan and high operating and maintenance

n about six months New York City will launch its new Citywide Ferry Service, one of the most ambitious public water transit ventures ever. It is a huge bet by the administration of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio — and one that could have big payoffs to the city’s industry partners.

Clark said they were impressed with the boatyards’ track records for fast turnaround, and willingness to “rethink how you build boats.” One aspect of that is Horizon Shipyard’s proprietary Gordhead software that allows customers, builders and designers to view construction progress and communicate in real time. Incat Crowther too has its Gulf Coast team on the ground to work with the yards.

In New York, Hornblower’s operations will be based at the old Brooklyn Navy Yard, under plans developed between the company and the city’s Economic Development Corporation.

The homeport will have a team of inhouse technicians trained by Moteurs Baudouin to maintain the new engines.

Meanwhile the harbor’s private commuter ferry operators are stepping up their game.

NY Waterway commissioned the Betsy Ross, the second 109'×31'×6' aluminum catamaran built by Yank Marine, Tuckahoe, N.J., to carry up to 400 passengers. Along with its sistership Molly Pitcher, the two vessels represent a $10 million investment, and marked the 30th anniversary since NY Waterway founder Arthur E. Imperatore started the business with a single boat crossing the Hudson River.

USMMA INVESTIGATES SEXUAL HARASSMENT

n June, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA) and the Maritime Administration said they were reviewing a proposal from the industry to address long-simmering concerns over sexual harassment and hazing of academy midshipmen during their now-suspended Sea Year assignments.

More than 90 industry representatives showed up for a “call to action” meeting June 24 at U.S. Department of Transportation headquarters in Washington, D.C. The session was convened for the maritime industry to present a proposal that improves the quality of life onboard vessels, and provides a working and training environment that is both safe and respectful for the midshipmen,” according to a joint statement issued through the academy.

The traditional Sea Year, which

cer em Ki gsn

ony at the U . S. M er c hant Poi nt , N . Y . , w sa hel d i n June.

sends sophomores and juniors to sea for around 300 days, was suspended — with an announcement made during the academy’s June 16 graduation weekend at the Kings Point, N.Y., campus — amid concern that not enough was being done about recurring reports of harassment. USMMA officials cited concerns over “safety and mutual respect” for midshipmen serving on U.S.-flagged merchant vessels.

The academy and Marad said no specific cases triggered the decision.

Marad Administrator Paul “Chip” Jaenichen said in June that there have been “isolated incidents,” adding “it’s the harassment, it’s the hazing, it’s the coercion, it’s the retaliation,” that some midshipmen experience from crews.

Surveys in recent years portray concern at the academy about its own culture and what midshipmen experience on vessels. A 2014-2015 survey identified four major concerns, including “inadequate sexual assault prevention training for midshipmen embarking on Sea Year,” and “insufficient engagement between the academy and the maritime industry on sexual harassment and sexual assault issues.”

The survey notes that shipping companies involved with Sea Year are required to have zero-tolerance policies for sexual harassment, and midshipmen are able to report incidents either through company procedure or to academy officials.

“Sea Year is and will remain a core element of the academy’s academic program,” USMMA officials said in announcing the suspension in June.

“There is a need to ensure the safety and mutual respect for all midshipmen on vessels during Sea Year.”

In October, the USMMA Alumni Association and Foundation created a task force and commissioned a study to address sexual misconduct at the academy. The task force will “review best practices on preventing and responding to sexual assault and harassment and provide recommendations on addressing sexual misconduct on USMMA’s campus and during the Sea Year core curricula training.”

The task force is chaired by Capt.

Eileen Roberson, U.S. Navy (Ret.), and includes three additional women and three men. Five members — including 1980 graduate Roberson — are USMMA alumni.

“Task Force members represent diverse parts of the maritime industry and come from different maritime schools.

We all care deeply about this issue and are united in our commitment to finding effective ways to ensure positive and lasting change,” Capt. Roberson said.

The group has retained Self Solutions, a veteran-owned business, to conduct research into sexual misconduct at the academy. The final report on its findings will be made public.

“We stand ready to support the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in developing a facts-based plan for eliminating sexual misconduct and ensuring that current and future midshipmen are effectively trained in a safe environment,” Roberson said. “Self Solutions is the right company for the job given their extensive experience analyzing behaviors on ships and academy campuses.”

Also in October, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., proposed a plan designed to end the “scourge” of sexual assault and harassment of midshipmen at USMMA. Gillibrand wants to provide midshipmen with more resources and support to report abuse and harassment, and better train staff at the academy to respond to and prevent sexual assault. The plan also called for the Department of Transportation inspector

general to be trained and empowered to investigate reports of abuse.

“The price of an education and job training at sea cannot be sexual assault and harassment,” Gillibrand said in a statement. “The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy is the premier school for midshipmen to start careers supporting the military and on commercial carriers at sea — to become the best mariners in the world — so to have more than six out of 10 female midshipmen and more than one out of 10 male midshipmen say they were sexually harassed in a year is completely unacceptable. To have 17 percent of female midshipmen sexually assaulted is outrageous.”

Gillibrand cited numbers from the 2014-15 survey in which 63% of women and 11% of men at the academy said they had been sexually harassed. The same survey found that harassment and assault were seldom formally reported because respondents felt uncomfortable or feared retribution.

Gillibrand said she would introduce the reform plan as Senate legislation.

or the inland waterways, 2016 has been unusual: a down cycle has emerged in almost all commodities transported by barge.

There are many reasons behind this.

Among them is a worldwide economic slowdown, especially in China; environmental regulations and competition from natural gas that has produced a big decline in the use of coal; a sharp decline in oil prices that has rippled The downturn in the coal market has added through the barge supply to the covered hopper barge fleet. business; a strong dollar that makes David K rapf

exports more expensive; and weakening of South American currencies that make certain grain imports cheaper than U.S.-sourced grain, thus reducing demand for inland barge movements.

“Nearly every sector of our business is facing very difficult market conditions, and it is not clear yet where the bottom of the trough is,” Tom Allegretti, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, said at an industry conference in March. “We all know that this is a cyclical business, but what’s particularly challenging today is that all the major commodity groups — petroleum, coal, agricultural products — are in a down cycle.”

In addition, the industry has had to deal with other challenges in 2016.

It must comply with Subchapter M, the new federal towboat inspection rule, secure stable federal funding to modernize the nation’s antiquated locks and dams, and pass a law that ends a patchwork of overlapping and contradictory state and federal regulations that govern the discharge of ballast water that is costly to the industry.

On top of this, presidential and congressional elections injected a sense of uncertainty and worry into the economy that put barge operators on edge.

“As the election approaches, everything in Washington, D.C., is viewed through a highly political lens, and it becomes even more difficult than usual for policymakers to focus on the people’s business,” Allegretti added.

But the biggest problem for the inland barge industry has been the global slowdown that has weakened the

export market for many U.S. goods. A big factor is China’s declining growth rate. China has been a huge consumer of U.S. exports that move on U.S. waterways. Slowdowns in European and developing countries have also hurt U.S. commodity exports.

“Everything is down simultaneously, except grain, which seems to be making a comeback as the export market comes back to us,” Ken Eriksen, senior vice president of transportation at Informa Economics, told WorkBoat in June. “And barge rates are still flatlined. Usually we have one segment that is doing well, but everything is down. We have not hit bottom yet.”

The worst market has been coal, which has suffered a deep drop. As a result, some companies have converted open barges used for coal to covered barges for grain. This has hurt demand and expanded supply in the covered hopper market. Eriksen said he expects the coal downturn to be long term due to competition from natural gas and stricter federal emissions rules.

One bright spot is corn. Corn will continue to help the dry cargo barge market, and the Panama Canal expansion could increase barge movements on the U.S. waterways.

The liquid tank barge market is suffering as well, except for chemical movements. Several tank barge operators have been hurt by a combination of weak oil prices and pipeline projects coming online, which lessen the demand to move crude by inland barge.

A surge in North American production over the past few years, due mostly to increased shale oil production, encouraged many companies, including Kirby Corp. and American Commercial Lines to expand their tank barge fleets.

Houston-based Kirby’s net earnings in the third quarter were $32 million, or 59 cents per share, compared with $56.8 million, or $1.04 per share, for the 2015 third quarter. Kirby’s barge utilization was in the low-to-mid 80% range, down from the high-80% to low90% range during the second quarter.

tion that we first experienced in July continued through most of the third quarter,” David Grzebinski, Kirby’s president and CEO, told analysts during Kirby’s October conference call with analysts. In response to the lower utilization, Kirby reduced its average towboat count by approximately 6% in the third quarter. “For the industry overall, weak utilization increases the likelihood that we will see a more rapid number of retirements and a decline in new equipment construction across the industry. This will facilitate an overall rebalancing in the market.”

Grzebinski sees improvement in the market next year. “While the exact timing of recoveries in our markets is still unclear, we do believe the inland market will come into supply and demand balance some time in 2017” and pricing will improve. — Pamela Glass and D. Krapf

CONGRESS DEBATES ICEBREAKER PROGRAM

W

ith the Coast Guard’s only heavy polar icebreaker aging rapidly, legislators started putting serious cash into spending proposals for a new vessel and some suggested leasing a private vessel as a stopgap measure.

But how much actual progress will be made toward new or slightly used equipment is anyone’s guess as polar region activity grows while U.S. resources limp along.

The Coast Guard has only two icebreakers: the 399'×83'6"×28' Polar Star, built in 1976, and the 420'×82'×29' medium-duty Healy, launched in 1997. The heavy-duty Polar Sea, built in 1978, was put on inactive status in October 2011 after engine failure and is a source of spare

parts to keep sister Polar Star running.

By contrast, Russia has 41 icebreakers with 11 more planned.

“The Coast Guard requires at least two heavy icebreakers to recapitalize the existing fleet and meet current mission demands,” a spokesman said.

“Later this year we will make a formal decision on reactivating Polar Sea or extending the service life of Polar Star until new assets are delivered.”

A Coast Guard condition assessment suggests that reactivating Polar Sea would be “a lengthy, costly and risky approach to sustaining current heavy icebreaker capability,” the spokesman said. “Work could take twice as long as reactivating Polar Star at multiple times the cost.” A final decision will be made once an alternatives analysis with cost estimates is complete by year’s end.

A new heavy icebreaker could cost $900 million to $1.1 billion. The Polar Star returned to service in 2013 after a

three-year $90 million overhaul, and its life expectancy is another four to seven years. A recent study by the Government Accountability Office said there would be a three- to six-year gap in heavy icebreaking capability before a new icebreaker is operational.

The Senate has included $1 billion in the defense bill for a new heavy icebreaker.

Meanwhile, the Coast Guard and

members of a House committee differed on ways to temporarily augment the fleet.

Before the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation in July, Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, pressed Coast Guard Vice Commandant Adm. Charles Michel on why the service wouldn’t consider using a privately owned icebreaker, which had provided services to Royal Dutch

Shell before the oil giant halted its Arctic drilling operations. That vessel is reportedly the Aiviq, a 361'×80'×23' ice-class anchor handling/tug supply vessel owned by Edison Chouest Offshore, Cut Off, La. “Our commandant actually personally visited that vessel. We are of the opinion that that vessel is not suitable for military service without substantial refit,” Michel told Young.

“You’ve always hated the idea of not owning the ship,” Young retorted.

“That’s what I call a bullshit answer … military service? I’m talking about moving ice.”

Committee Chairman Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., also asked if a nonmilitary vessel could do an icebreaker’s job.

“We have very specific requirements for our vessels,” Michel said. Their missions go beyond just breaking ice to “the assertion of national sovereignty.”

Then in September, Hunter asked House leadership for funding for the Coast Guard to lease or perhaps acquire a vessel. “In the case of the Aiviq, for instance, a bareboat charter would cost $22 million per year. A full charter would cost $33 million per year. And the purchase price is approximately $150 million — a great value to the Coast Guard without presenting any limitations associated with a lease,” his letter said.

The Aiviq was towing Shell’s drilling rig Kulluk before the rig ran aground in Alaska in late 2012. Both Young and Hunter have received campaign contributions from principals of Edison Chouest, Federal Election Commission records show.

“Hunter’s been supporting the idea of leasing vessels to bridge the icebreaker gap for longer than it’s been reported, and the Aiviq is the only medium-grade vessel in America that’s capable of meeting several Coast Guard missions — a fact the Coast Guard now concedes,” a Hunter spokesman said.

Hunter also received a response from Michel to his letter about the Coast Guard’s views on leasing an icebreaker, saying that market research on the

Aiviq determined the vessel could “under certain legal and operational conditions, execute at least some of the Coast Guard’s 11 missions.” But it’s unclear whether it could fulfill Coast Guard icebreaker requirements because it hasn’t undergone thorough testing in ice trials and isn’t configured to conduct all of the icebreakers’ missions, Michel said.

The Coast Guard is now asking shipbuilders how it might speed up its icebreakers program, and obtain the first new polar vessel by late 2023.

Early in the year Harvey Gulf International Marine put into service the first U.S. dual-fuel LNG powered vessel, the 310'×64'×25'6", 5,200-dwt OSV Harvey Energy. The occasion was notable too for the vessel’s initial fill-up. Harvey Gulf opened the first commercial marine LNG fueling terminal at its Port Fourchon, La., operations base. The Harvey Energy and sistership Harvey Power, named the 2015 Boat of the Year by WorkBoat magazine, are the first in a class of six dual-fuel OSVs. Easier maintenance, cleaner engines and boats, and long intervals between overhauls all figured in to Harvey Gulf’s decision to make a decisive commitment to the new fuel, said Chad Verret, the company’s executive vice president in charge of Alaska and LNG operations.

Oil remains cheap for now, but the long-term reasoning that LNG is the wave of the future has brought other major new vessels into service.

In January TOTE Maritime gassed up its new 764', 3,100-TEU containership Isla Bella for the first time, using bunkering trucks at its Jacksonville, Fla., terminal. LNG will fuel the Isla Bella and sistership Perla del Caribe on their route to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Like Harvey Gulf, TOTE’s plan is for a permanent fixed LNG bunkering station in San Juan and another at Tacoma, Wash., for its Pacific Northwest operations. The other major Puerto Rico line, Crowley Maritime, likewise has a pair of LNG combination container-ro/ro ships scheduled for delivery from VT Halter Marine in 2017.

With LNG marine power comes more need for bunkering options. In September Harvey Gulf said it had approval from the Coast Guard and American Bureau of Shipping for a design to build an LNG articulated tugbarge capable of carrying 4,000 cubic meters of fuel.

With a 128'×42'×19', 5,100-hp tug and a 324'×64'×32'6" barge, the ATB will be capable of ship-to-ship fueling and shoreside resupply.

On the rivers, “the infrastructure for supplying fuel (LNG) to towboats will happen. We just need several parties to get together to make it happen,” said designer Ed Shearer of The Shearer Group.

LNG can lower shipping rates and save operators 15 cents per ton over diesel power for the same amount of cargo, said John Hatley, Wärtsilä’s vice president ship power.

ladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Somerset, Mass., delivered the Manatee, a 52.7'×16.8'×4'6" pilot boat to the Tampa Bay Pilots Association in Tampa, Fla. “It’s the first of a revision of the Chesapeake Bay class,” said Peter Duclos, Gladding-Hearn’s president. The initial Chesapeake Bay pilot boat, designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates in New Bedford, Mass., was built in 2003. Several years ago Gladding-Hearn did a survey of pilot boat associations to find out what qualities were most important to them in a pilot boat. “The top three,” said Duclos, “were saving fuel, going faster, and greater comfort. This boat addresses all three.” The difference between the Manatee and earlier pilot boats is that the Manatee utilizes dual Volvo-Penta IPS 650MC propulsion pods. The IPS pod system uses forward facing, counter rotating propellers. “It’s more efficient. It burns about 25% to 28% less fuel than conventional propeller drives,” said Duclos. The hull shape has slightly different lines to accommodate the pods. Visually the biggest difference would be in the placement of the wheelhouse. Now the pilots, sitting in any one of five Stidd seats, are slightly aft of the boat’s center of gravity. That addresses the pilots’ request for greater comfort.

he first of two 45' twin-screw 940hp steel tugboats was delivered to the New York Power Authority. The Daniel Joncaire II and a sister tug, B-I Breaker II, will maneuver massive ice booms that protect the Niagara Power Project. Designed by the Bristol Harbor Group Inc., Bristol, R.I., and built

by Great Lakes Shipyard, Cleveland, the 45'×19'7"×6'1" tugs were built to operate in the ice of eastern Lake Erie, where the waters go into the Niagara River and hydroelectric plants. The annual ice boom installation protects the power plant intakes from being blocked by heavy ice floes. Propulsion for the new tugs come from a pair of Caterpillar C18 engines each producing 470 hp at 1,800 rpm. The Cats turn Michigan Wheel 46"×28" 4-bladed Nibral propellers through Twin Disc MGX5135SC gears. Steered by Jastram controls, the tugs have a rated speed of 6 knots. There is a Simrad electronics suite in each tug’s pilothouse, and on deck the crew of four has a Nabrico DF-156-20-7-HE towing winch to work with. Bollard pull is estimated at 11 tons.

etalCraft Marine delivered the 66'×18'×3' fireboat William M. Feehan to the Fire Department City of New York late last year. The boat is named for the firefighter who was the oldest member of the department to lose his life during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. The William M. Feehan is powered by three Caterpillar C-18 engines rated at 1,150 hp each, turning a trio of Hamilton HJ 403 waterjets with hoods connected by a ZF 665 transmission. That brings the boat’s top speed up to 41 knots, from a cruise speed of 32 knots. A Caterpillar C-9 engine rated at 510 hp drives the fire pump system, which includes two Darley ZSP models pushing 3,000 gpm at 150 psi that can dispense foam to one or both pumps. Up top is a Stang fire monitor mounted on the roof with remote controls, shooting 5,000 gpm at 80 psi. On deck, four Elkhart Brass Spit-Fire monitors — two electrically controlled on the bow, two operated manually amidships — put out 2,000 gpm at 80 psi each. For waterfront firefighting operations there are two Storz 6" land supply connections. Dry chemical suppressant is a 300-lb. Purple K agent, and there is a Feecon 1.5 foam system.

altimore-based Vane Brothers took delivery in November 2015 of the Fort Schulyer from Chesapeake Shipbuilding, Salisbury, Md. Designed by Entech Designs LLC, the 94'×34'×15' tug is powered by twin Caterpillar 3512 Tier 3 engines delivering a total of 3,000 hp. Twin Disc 6:1 reduction gears turn Troost 4-bladed open wheeled propellers. On deck, a JonRie InterTech single-drum hydraulic towing winch controls the barges in both towing and pushing operations.

Crew comfort and safety is a top priori-

ladding-Hearn Shipbuilding in Somerset, Mass., delivered the J.P. Virden, a 52.6'×17'×4.8' pilot boat to the Delaware Pilots Association in Lewes, Del. It’s a Chesapeake-class design from C. Raymond Hunt Associates in New Bedford, Mass., and the third Chesapeake-class pilot boat sent from Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding to the Delaware pilots. The first one was delivered in 2004 and the second in 2006. Main propulsion comes from a pair of 651-hp Volvo-Penta D16 engines matched up with ZF 500-1-A marine gears and 5-bladed nibral props.

Another feature on the J.P. Virden that’s not on the previous two Chesapeakeclass pilot boats for Delaware is the Humphree Interceptor automatic trim optimization system. For boats in the 25-knot-plus range, there’s definitely a payback in fuel. The Humphree system automatically optimizes the trim of a boat at a given speed or for a given fuel load. That allows pilots to have different trim tab settings at different speeds and when going up wind and down wind. Though the automatic feature can be overridden to manually control the trim tabs.

he ReconCraft RC-36C-SLG Amphibious Interceptor Vessel is built for stealth. The Newton, Mass., company started out with its 21' Riverine Shallow Draft Vessel (RSDV-21), a waterjet boat that can run in 4" of

water on plane, designed for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use on shallow waters along the U.S.Mexico border. As part of that program ReconCraft developed a patent pending grate system that keeps weeds and debris out of waterjet intakes. The new 36'×12'10"×23" RC-36C is similarly built for skinny water, able to run in 10" to 12" on plane, pushed by twin 335-hp Mercruiser diesels at up to 45 knots. But it is a bigger, self-contained package, designed to roll up quietly to a launch site at 7 mph on land, and deploy its radar and other sensors. The builders are looking at ways to incorporate a tethered aerial drone system to extend that field of vision. The aluminum hull includes a 5086/5083 alloy bottom plate 6 mm thick, coated with the proprietary Hull Shield abrasion resistant elastomer and ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) thermoplastic polyethylene. The gunwale is ringed

with a high-density foam collar-sponson, edged with a black or non-marking rub rail.

2016 BOATBUILDING REVIEW ing. For Baltimore-based Vane, the 100'×34'×15'4" model bow tug is the 30th vessel in the company’s tug building program that began 15 years ago.

The new Elizabeth Anne-class tugs represent the refinement of a design from Entech Designs LLC that has served Vane Brothers well as the company has expanded its reach beyond its home waters of the Chesapeake and Delaware Bay region. The new tug, the first of eight 100-footers to be built at the Palatka, Fla., shipyard located about 70 miles south of Jacksonville, is powered by twin Caterpillar 3516C Tier 3-compliant engines each putting out 2,100 hp at 1,600 rpm. The engines spin Hung Shen 104", 4-bladed fixedpitch propellers through Karl Sennersupplied Reintjes WAF 873 reverse reduction gearboxes with 7:1 reduction ratios. Each new Elizabeth Anne-class tug will have Jastram hydraulic steering systems and feature an open-wheel

and rudder configuration. On deck is an Intercon DD200 double-drum stern winch for coastal towing.

ichols Brothers Boat Builders, Freeland, Wash., has been contracted by Lindblad Expeditions Holdings Inc., New York, to build two 100-passenger, 238'×48' expeditionstyle passenger vessels. The new boats will join two 68-passenger vessels built by Nichols for Lindblad in the early 1980s. Lindblad and National Geographic have partnered on the operation of expeditions cruises since 2004. The fleet, all of which carry the National Geographic name, operate all over the world. The Nichols-built

68-passenger boats are Lindblad’s only Jones Act-qualified vessels. The new boats will double the size of the company’s Jones Act fleet. Itineraries for the boats include Alaska and the Columbia-Snake River System.

Delivery of the first vessel is expected in time for the 2017 Alaska summer cruise season. The second vessel will be completed a year later. Power for the vessels will be provided by pairs of MTU 2V4000M54 diesels, each rated at 1,600 hp. Volvo Penta will provide two 500-kW generators and one 230kW emergency generator. Reintjes reduction gears will turn fixed-pitch twin screws. An electric bowthruster is also part of the propulsion package. Jensen Maritime Consultants, Seattle, is the naval architect for the project, and Tillberg Design International, Weston, Fla., is responsible for the interior design of the 50-stateroom boats.

2016 BOATBUILDING REVIEW features should check out Hard Drive Marine in Bellingham, Wash. “It’s the only one like it,” said Hard Drive Marine’s owner Tom Day who also designed the landing craft and its beach crawling feature. “I built a landing craft and saw a need for having spikes on it because most of the landing craft land on beaches and if there were spikes on the door, you could secure the boat to the beach.” On one of the tests with the spiked ramp, “when the door was lifted up, the spikes actually drove the boat off the beach. I had to grab it real quick.” That led Day to initially think the idea of using spikes on the ramp was “pretty sketchy.” But it didn’t take long to realize that if he could control the spikes “then I’d have something.”

That’s what he did, matching the hydraulically operated spikes up with the ramp, so when the ramp drops down, the spikes reach forward, dig into the shore, pull the boat up a bit, reach forward again and so on. It’s the reverse

for going back in the water. Day said it wasn’t his intention to pull the boat out of the water with the spikes, rather “to control the boat’s attitude at the beach, whether the tide is coming in or going out.” That can be done from the wheelhouse or remotely. Powered by Honda 225s, the 30-footer was delivered to the Washington State Park System for maintaining park properties.

n February, All American Marine began construction on a custom hydrofoil supported aluminum catamaran survey boat for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Philadelphia District. The Bellingham, Wash., boatyard is sched-

uled to deliver the 68'×26' survey boat in early 2017. It will conduct surveys and some dive operations in support of dredging work. Teknicraft Design, Auckland, New Zealand, designed the 68-footer and another survey boat that All American recently built, the 62'×24' Florida II for the Corps’ Jacksonville (Fla.) District. The new 68-footer will have a top speed of 28 knots, powered by a pair of Caterpillar C18s putting out a total of 1,001 hp. The collection of survey data takes place in both the upper and lower deckhouses. Up top, a member of the survey team uses computers to work with the captain so the boat stays on a course necessary to collect the required data. Down below in the lower deck house, that data is processed on different sets of computers. Power to operate the computers and monitoring devices will come from a pair of Northern Lights C40M.3 40kW generators located in each hull.

S

everal years of travel to and promotion in the Middle East is now bearing fruit for Seattle-based Kvichak Marine Industries, (now a Vigor

subsidiary). The first client is the Port of Duqm in Oman. The first products are a pair of 19-meter multipurpose pilot boats. Designed by Camarc in the U.K., the same firm that has provided designs for many Kvichak-built boats, the all-aluminum, deep-V, double-chine boats measure 62.3'×19.7' and are powered by pairs of Cummins QSK19 800-hp engines. But unlike most other Kvichak pilot boats, these boats don’t feature waterjet propulsion. The ZF 2000A transmissions turn 5-bladed nibral propellers. The new boats are also equipped with a Lamor skimming system and a small Palfinger knuckleboom crane. Its foremost function is as a pilot boat, but one of the Port of Duqm’s requirements was the ability to capture oil spills in the port. The port also required a deck crane for loading boom and other equipment or cargo. Because Oman can be very hot and dusty, the boats had to be outfit-

ted accordingly. The open deck and pilothouse are painted with light colors to reflect sunlight, the house is heavily insulated, the air conditioning is beefed up, and the windows are thicker with bonded glass to reduce UV light inside.

n early 2016, Horizon Shipbuilding, Bayou La Batre, Ala., delivered the 95'×43'×10' Z-drive towboat Dan Reeves to the Corps of Engineers Little Rock (Ark.) District. The towboat is designed to meet the new Coast Guard Subchapter M requirements. The Dan Reeves, which has accommodations for eight crew, is designed for maintenance and repair activities on the McClellanKerr Arkansas River Navigation System. The Corps had the opportunity

early in the project to tour and ride a Southern Towing Z-drive towboat.

This allowed the Corps team to experience the full capabilities of Z-drive propulsion, gain a better understanding for design and operational considerations, and contribute directly to the decision to build a Z-drive towboat.

Main propulsion comes from twin Caterpillar C32 WOSR “C” rated diesel engines, producing 1,300 hp at 1,800 to 2,100 rpm, connected to two Thrustmaster TM1500MZ Z-drives with reduction ratios of 5.74:1. The Z-drives turn Hung Shen 4-bladed 67.75" props in nozzles. The Z-drive system has environmentally acceptable lubricants inside and the boat has the capability to operate as a zero discharge vessel.

With a draft of 8'6" and an air draft of 47'10", the Dan Reeves has a displacement of 657 LT. Capacities include 22,800 gals. of fuel; 7,500 gals. potable water; and 19,400 gals. ballast.

T

he relationship between boatbuilder Verret Shipyard and boat owner Blessey Marine Services, Harahan, La., is a strong one. The Plaquemine, La.-based shipyard in late February delivered the 70'×30'×10'8" twin-screw towboat Capt. Troy Green to the Harahan, La.-based inland tank

barge company. Sporting a draft of 8'6", the new 185-GRT towboat is powered by twin Cummins QSK19 diesel engines, producing 660 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The engines turn Kahlenberg 4-bladed stainless steel 74"×58" wheels through Reintjes WAF-374 marine gears with 7.1:1 reduction ratios. Capacities include 20,000 gals. of fuel and approximately 14,800 gals. potable water. Ship’s service power comes from two Cummins QSB7-DM gensets, sparking 85 kW of electrical power each. The wheelhouse has an air draft of 49'11" (mast up) and 43'11" (mast down), an eye level of 33'6", and a custom hydraulic dual electrohydraulic full follow up/non follow up steering system. The electronics suite features two Furuno radar, AIS, GPS, depth sounder, SAT compass, intercom/ PA, weather station, three Icom VHS and a DeHart swingmeter. On deck are two Patterson 40-ton electric winches.

Ancillary equipment includes a Blue

2016 BOATBUILDING REVIEW 70'×30' triple-screw, shallow-draft towboat in March for Mid-River Terminals, Osceola, Ark. Designed by Joey Rodriguez, the 2,000-hp Dianna Lynn is a new design that features a conventional forward-house pusher configuration and the same propulsion package as Rodriguez’s popular lugger tugs. The lugger tugs feature an aft mounted deckhouse and a forward deck space for cargo. A single aftmounted drum towing winch allows for towing or pushing if rigged with blocks. For propulsion, there’s three in line, 660-hp 6-cylinder Cummins QSK19 engines. Each engine turns a 66" stainless steel propeller through ZF gears with 6:1 reduction ratios. The towboat has an 8' operating draft, and will be primarily involved in fleeting and harbor work. The Dianna Lynn is the fourth boat in Mid-River’s fleet.

The wheelhouse has a full 360° view with large windows and is set atop two

accommodation decks and a half deck that also serves for bridge electronics support, giving the towboat a 31' eyelevel. Steering and flanking rudders are controlled by wheelhouse levers with mechanical shafts through the houses and connected to the hydraulic actuator valves in the upper engine room.

A set of push knees and deck winches facilitates barge work.

The new landing craft was designed

by Columbia-Sentinel Engineers in Seattle for AFS, a partnership between Seattle-based Harley Marine and Catalina Express, Long Beach, Calif.

“Whatever makes [Catalina] island operate,” food, new furniture, etc., is transported by the Catalina Provider, said Kurt Redd, CEO at Diversified Marine. “Whatever goes out on the island, it will take it.” Triple 670-hp Caterpillar C18 DITAs are matched up with Twin Disc MGX-5170 marine gears with 5.03:1 ratios to power the landing craft, which hit 10 knots during sea trials. The boat’s electrical power comes from a 99-kW John Deere-powered genset. The Catalina Provider is the third landing craft of this size that Diversified has built.

The aluminum 55'×16' Alice Ross IV is a Rozema design that was based on one of the boatyard’s previous 50 footers.

However, it was totally redesigned. It’s the first inland tour boat Rozema has built.

ladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Somerset, Mass., recently delivered the 53'6"×17'8"×8'6" all aluminum deep V monohull pilot boat Port Arthur to the Sabine Pilots in Groves, Texas.

Designed by New Bedford, Mass.based C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the new boat has a 4.8' draft, features wide side decks, side and rear doors, and boarding platforms on the roof and bow. At the transom are throttle and steering controls and a winch-operated hinged rescue basket, level with the rescue access. Main propulsion comes

from double Caterpillar C-18 diesels, each rated at 715 hp at 2,100 rpm.

Loaded top speed is 28 knots. The engines turn 5-bladed nibral propellers via Twin Disc MGX-5135A Quick Shift gearboxes. A Humphree Interceptor trim tab system with automatic trim control was installed at the transom. The hydraulic steering system is

by Seastar. The Port Arthur’s running speed is 28 knots. The Cat C-18 has become a go-to engine for this size boat.

The vessel is equipped with a 12kW Alaska Diesel genset. Capacities include 850 gals. of fuel and 55 gals. fresh water. The boat has a crew of two — captain and deckhand. The wheelhouse is cooled by two 16,000Btu air conditioners. A third, 12,000Btu unit is in the forecastle. Interior accommodations include eight Llebroc seats, head, small galley, and two settee berths forward.

The new minority-owned tug company bought the two tugs from Crosby Tugs, also of Houma, and had them morphed

into the 118'×32'×16' tug Compass Dominator and the 115'×28'×14' tug Compass Stallion. The tugs can handle offshore towing, ship docking, rig mobilization and demobilization, and marine construction. The Compass Dominator is powered by twin Alco 12-251 diesels, producing 4,200 hp at 1,600 rpm each. The marine engines are connected to 102"×114", 4-bladed wheels through Reintjes marine gears with 5:1 reduction ratios. The propulsion package gives the tug a running speed of 13.5 knots and a bollard pull of 65.31 short tons. Two Caterpillar 3516 diesel engines, developing 3,000 hp at 1,600 rpm each, power the Compass Stallion. The Cats connect to 102"×114", 4-bladed propellers through Western marine gears with 6:1 reduction ratios. The package gives the boat a running speed of 13 knots and a bollard pull of 47 short tons.

north, through Alaska’s Unimak Pass into the Bering Sea and then down the Aleutian chain to Dutch Harbor, which will be her primary location. Designed

by Hockema & Whalen Associates in Seattle and built by Hansen Boat Co. in Everett, the Gretchen Dunlap will join another Dunlap tug, the James Dunlap, in Dutch Harbor. For propulsion, the Gretchen Dunlap’s two Caterpillar 3516C diesels put out 6,772 hp. For escort work there’s a Markey DEPCH-52 hawser winch on the bow and for towing a Markey TES-40 winch on the stern. Both are electric winches. The Gretchen Dunlap also has a plumb bow with fendering down to the waterline to easily push the stern of a barge. At the stern, the scantlings are heavier to support the larger Z-drive units, a pair of Rolls-Royce 255 P30 FPs, and reduce vibration.

Maine Marine Patrol christened its 38'9"×15' patrol vessel Dirigo II from SW Boatworks in January 2014, but Stockton University was the boatyard’s first customer for a research vessel. Propulsion comes from a Cummins QSC 8.3 diesel developing 550 hp at 3,000 rpm.

he 108'×35' fireboat Protector, built by Foss Maritime Co. at its Foss Seattle Shipyard, was recently delivered to the Port of Long Beach, Calif. Along with a sister vessel — Vigilance — now under construction, the Protector represents a 400% increase in firefighting power over the port’s existing fireboats. The fireboat has 10 water cannons with a capacity to pump more than 41,000 gpm, or four times the output of the old fireboats. Pumping range is 600' and higher than a 20-story building — enough power to project water or foam anywhere aboard the world’s largest containerships and oil tankers.

The multimission design by Robert Allan Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, has the capability to protect its crew and operate amid chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats.

Propulsion on the new boats comes from a pair of Caterpillar 3512C main engines, combining for 2,012 hp, that

C.N.C. Machined Propeller Shafting, Custom Machined Shaft Couplings, Duramax Strut Bearings, Struts, Rudders, Michigan Wheel Propellers

turn Voith Schneider propellers. This produces a top speed of 12 knots. The boats are designed for a low wake wash of less than 12" at 8 knots, and an onsite endurance of five days. The wheelhouses have both forward and aft control stations, where pilots can use low-speed maneuvering and zero-speed stationkeeping with the Voith Schneider propulsion system. Two more Caterpillar 3512C engines and one Cat C12 engine are harnessed with the drive engines to power seven firefighting pumps, ranging in size from 2,000 gpm to 8,000 gpm for the total aggregate capacity of 41,000 gpm.

Aluminium extrusions – made for marine & offshore Visit us at the International WorkBoat Show, New Orleans, LA Nov 30 – Dec 2, 2016, booth 450

Just one third the weight of steel, yet strong and highly corrosion resistant, aluminium is perfect for marine and offshore applications.

It also saves precious time and money.

By reducing weight, aluminium reduces transport costs. It also saves time – and therefore cost – in installation and decommissioning. Plus, low maintenance means even further savings.

Aluminium specialist Sapa extrudes lightweight, sustainable components for practically any marine or offshore use. And now our latest alloy, the 5083 series, offer even greater structural strength.

T Halter Marine Inc. has delivered the 130'×38'×22' 6,000-hp, twin-screw tug Frederick E. Bouchard, to Bouchard Transportation Co. Inc., Melville, N.Y. The tug, which will be part of an articulated tug/barge unit, was built at VT Halter’s Pascagoula, Miss., shipyard.

The delivery culminates a two-vessel contract awarded by Bouchard to Halter in August 2014.

Main propulsion comes from twin EMD 12-710G7C-T3 engines, producing 3,000 hp at 900 rpm each. The

diesels turn 140"×94" 5-bladed wheels through Lufkin RS2800HG vertical offset marine gears with 4.9:1 reduction ratios. The propulsion package gives the tug a bollard pull of 83.44 short tons and a running speed of 14 knots. The Frederick E. Bouchard underwent sea trials on June 1. The first vessel in the contract, the Morton S. Bouchard Jr., was delivered to Bouchard on Feb. 1, and is currently in service in the coastwise trade. The new tug will also be joining Bouchard’s fleet servicing the coastwise trade. Both tugs are equipped with an Intercon coupler system. The tug features steering gear

n August, the New Bedford (Mass.)

Fire Department christened its new fireboat, the Jesse Pacheco, named for Lt. Jesse Pacheco Jr., the last New Bedford firefighter to die in the line of duty in 1993. Built by Moose Boats, Petaluma, Calif., the 38'10"×13'6" catamaran is a near sistership to the Salish Star that was delivered to the Bellingham, Wash., fire department in 2015.

The two boats have the same hull and propulsion system, twin 425-hp Cummins QSB6.7L turbo diesels matched up with HamiltonJet HJ292 waterjets through Twin Disc MG-5075SC marine gears. That gives both fireboats a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots. The basic difference between the two fireboats is that the Jesse Pacheco has a Hale fire pump on one of its two Cummins diesels, while the Salish Star has a Hale pump on both of its diesels. Having only one pump on the Jesse Pacheco allows it to accommodate a generator on the starboard side. The generator furnishes power for reverse-cycle air conditioning that provides heat within the cabin, heats the windshield glass and cools the cabin. The Jesse Pacheco has a 2,000gpm Elkhart fire monitor on top of the wheelhouse and a 500-gpm Elkhart 120

n mid-September, Bisso Towboat Company Inc. took delivery of the 4,480-hp ASD tractor tug Mr. Ruben from Main Iron Works LLC. The Mr. Ruben is the first in a series of two identical tugs that Houma, La.-based Main Iron is building for the New Orleans tug operator. The 100'×38'×16'6" tug is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3515T3MPL Tier 3 main engines, each generating 2,240 hp at 1,600 rpm.

The engines drive two Rolls-Royce US 205 FP Z-drives with 90.6"×82.4", 4-bladed stainless-steel propellers set in nozzles. The package gives the tug a speed of 12 knots. The bollard pull is estimated to be around 60 tons.

The Mr. Ruben’s maximum draft is 13'6". The new tug is almost an exact replica of the Becky S. delivered last year. Ship’s service power is provided by two 99-kW Marathon generators powered by John Deere 4045AFM85 Tier 3 engines. The tug is equipped with one JonRie Intertech Series 230 hydraulic bow winch equipped with 500' of 8"-circumference AmSteel Blue, a torque-free, 12-strand single braid wire rope from Samson. The tug also features USCG-approved engine room monitoring and fire/smoke alarm systems, Simrad navigation/electronics

uilt by Somerset, Mass.-based Gladding-Hearn, the Incat Crowther-designed 153'6"×34'6" Grey Lady IV, a high-speed, aluminum catamaran ferry, was delivered to Hyannis Harbor Tours in late August. This is the fourth ferry the shipyard has built for the Hyannis, Mass.-based company.

It’s also the largest by about 10'. The ferry’s main propulsion comes from four Cummins QSK60-M diesels, each putting out 2,200 hp, matched up with HamiltonJet HM721 waterjets through Twin Disc MG-61500SC horizontally offset gearboxes. The continuous-duty rated Cummins engines will probably operate at about 70% power, but if one engine goes down, the remaining three engines operating at 100% power will allow the Grey Lady IV to maintain its schedule. Since part of the new ferry’s run can be exposed to weather, the

ancho Dominguez-based Maxum Petroleum’s latest vessel is still under construction, but when it hits the water in February 2017 at Jesse Engineering Co. in Tacoma, Wash., the double-hulled product tanker Global Provider should give Maxum a lot more flexibility when making deliveries. Coming in at 126'×32' with a capacity of 3,700 bbls. of diesel and 24,000 gals. of lube oil, the Global Provider is smaller in size and capacity than its four 10,000-bbl. barges but much bigger than the Dagwood, Maxum’s 250-bbl. tanker. This will allow the vessel to make deliveries faster since the Global Provider is smaller than the barges. Designed by Elliott Bay Design Group, the Global Provider will work mostly in Puget Sound.

Down below in the engine room will be a pair of 660-hp Cummins QSK19M diesels matched up with Twin Disc MGX-5202SC gears and 48"-dia., 4-bladed stainless steel props. There will also be a pair of Northern Lights generators with hydraulic pumps on them. When the Global Provider is servicing tugs, a Rapp Marine HP30 5F deck crane with a 30' extension will handle the deck hoses, and the diesel fuel or lube oil will be pumped by 6" Blackmer pumps.

onrad Industries’ Orange, Texas, shipyard is building three 110'×38'×17' tugs for Baltimore-based Vane Brothers. The new Assateagueclass ATB (articulated tug/barge unit) tugs are designed by Castleman Maritime LLC, Clear Lake Shores, Texas, and developed using ABS rules for a classed vessel. They feature raised forecastles and will admeasure under 500 GT. The tugs will be powered by two Cummins QSK-60 diesels each producing 2,200 hp at 1,800 rpm. The engines will turn open 4-bladed, 102", bronze propellers mounted on 9.5" shafts through Karl Senner-supplied Reintjes WAF 873 marine gears with 7.087:1 reduction ratios. Two 125-kW Cummins generators and one 60-kW Cummins emergency generator will power the tugs’ electrical systems. The design features the Beacon Finland JAK-700 coupling system that will connect each tug to its 405'×74', 80,000-bbl. barge. Crew access to the barges will be accomplished via a Schoelhorn-Albrecht custom-made gangway. Castleman Maritime’s designers worked closely with the designers at Bristol Harbor Group, Bristol, R.I., who designed the ATB barges that the new tugs will be mated to. The first tug, Assateague, is scheduled for delivery in August 2017.

fter 60 years, the San Francisco Fire Department has a new fireboat. Designed by Jensen Maritime Consultants and built at Vigor Industrial’s Seattle shipyard, the $11.8 million, steel-hulled Fireboat 3 is considered by many to be a first-in-class vessel. Three Cummins QSK19-M, Tier 3 diesel engines, producing 750 hp at 1,800 rpm each, provide propulsion and pumping power. When it comes to pumping, the mains power three Counterfire ESF 300-550 pumps with a capacity of 6,000 gpm each. That’s a total of 18,000 gpm at 150 psi (all three pumps in parallel) or 6,000 gpm at 300 psi (two pumps in series) that flows through six Stang monitors. Power is transmitted to the pumps through three Logan LC318 SAE #0 air actuated clutches and Elbe cardan shafts with Centa Centaflex-R flywheel-mounted torsional coupling. The engines are mounted on Christie & Grey TSC T-10 vibration isolators For propulsion from the front of the engine, the two outboard Cummins engines also provide 591 hp at 1,800 rpm. The engines turn 62"×55", 4-bladed, CF-3 Sound stainless steel propellers through Centa CX-56 torsional couplings and Karl Senner-supplied Reintjes WAF 364 reduction gears with 4.92:1 reduction ratios. For added maneuverability, the new fireboat has a Wesmar V2-2ONS bowthruster. The Fireboat 3 has a running speed of 11.5 knots.

ew Orleans-based Crescent Towing added the new 92'×38'×17', 5,500-hp, Z-drive ship escort/ship assist tug Mardi Gras to its New Orleans fleet back in March.

Two sisterships — Arkansas and South Carolina — are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2016. The boats, designed by Jensen Maritime, Seattle, are being built at Steiner Shipyard, Bayou La Batre, Ala. The new Z-drives are the same size as the J.K. McLean, Lisa Cooper and David J. Cooper built in 2010-2011 at C&G Boat Works Inc. The difference between the tugs is the horsepower. The C&G-built Z-drives are 5,225 hp and the new tugs are 5,500 hp. After the South Carolina is delivered in December, Crescent will have nine Z-drives out of a fleet of 28 tugs, according to its website.

“Our customers drive this process. They are asking for more power, more maneuverability and for the tug to be in class (A-1 Towing),” said Crescent’s executive vice president, Keith Kettenring.

“Two of these tugs (Mardi Gras and South Carolina) will operate in the northern harbor area of the Mississippi River between mile 106 (New Orleans) and mile 235 (Baton Rouge, La.) and the [Arkansas] will operate in Savannah, Georgia.”

With a draft of 17', the Mardi Gras has been in operation for several months, and Kettenring said Crescent is very satisfied with the tug’s performance so far. “The first to be delivered has been operating in the (New Orleans) area since March with great reviews from the captains and river pilots,” he said.

pected increase in grain exports played a part in the design of the Mardi Gras, Arkansas and South Carolina. Crescent Towing is betting that not only will grain exports stay strong, but that the expansion of the canal will mean more and larger containerships calling at East Coast ports.

“Yes, the post-Panamax tonnage into Savannah helps with that decision” to build the new tugs, said Kettenring.

In addition to New Orleans, Crescent has operations in Savannah, Ga., and Mobile, Ala. “We have several new terminals under construction, the refiners continue to expand and the world is eating more proteins,” he said. “So in the long run — yes, we expect to see more ship calls,” he said.

However, we were all placed at ease after our kick-off meeting when it became apparent that Steiner shared the same customer-centric philosophy which we hold dear.”

Steiner said he wanted to build the tugs because he knew Z-drives would give Crescent the flexibility it needed in the new tugs. “The maneuverability you get with Z-drives makes a huge difference,” Steiner said.

He speaks from experience, having built a series of 120'×34' Z-drive towboats for Southern Towing Co. over the past decade. At the time, no one else was putting Z-drives on towboats.

provide a lot more thrust for the same horsepower as conventional power.

“We had fewer problems building those boats than we did building shrimp boats,” said Steiner.

Bill Stegbauer, Southern Towing’s president told WorkBoat back in 2008 that with Z-drives, “there are no big rudders, no struts,” he said. “And the Z-drive is always going forward, even when the boat is going in reverse.”

That is the kind of maneuverability Crescent was looking for, said Steiner.

The new Crescent tugs are fitted with pairs of steerable Rolls-Royce US255FP Z-drive units connected to twin Tier 3 GE 8L250 diesel engines, producing 2,748 hp each. The engines turn P-30 2,800-mm fixed pitch propellers in nozzles. The units have hydraulic clutches and weld-in mountings, Vulkan carbon fiber straight shafting, Vulkan bulkhead mounted shaft bearings and Vulkan flywheel mounted flexible couplings. In the wheelhouse are mounted engine and thruster controls.

One of the challenges of working on the Mississippi River is operating during high-water events. The maneuverability of the new tugs makes fighting high water more manageable, said Kettenring. “In the spring the river swells with rain and snow melt and the increased velocity can cause ships to breakout, and they often require tugs to hold them in berth or anchorage.”

HEAVY-DUTY WI NCHES Another piece of equipment that is vital to the proper operation of these tugs are their winches. JonRie InterTech, Manahawkin, N.J., introduced its new Container Master winch series on the Mardi Gras.

The Container Master series was de123

signed with increased braking capability and rope capacity to deal with larger containerships, such as the 8,000-TEU containerships that call at the Port of New Orleans. The new winch series is a heavy-duty design to deal with increased loading due to the increased sail area of today’s containerships, according to JonRie. The tug’s winch holds 550' of 9"

plasma line. Brandon Durar, JonRie’s president, told WorkBoat that this is a new line of heavy-duty winches so future winches “may hold more or less.”

The winch features JonRie’s new Gen-X controls with its hall effect foot pedal that has no moving parts that make contact with each other, thus reducing breakdowns. There is also a message screen showing the param-

eters of the winch and the cause of any malfunctions that occur.

If you need to quickly back off your tow, the proportional render block lets you do that with a controlled freewheeling of the drum that feathers line out at a rapid pace. The auto abort feature takes away any guesswork on the part of the operator. “You don’t have to think,” said Durar. “It starts the system, releases the brake, shuts down the motor, and if you lost power, a 24 VDC backup system comes into play.”

Some of JonRie’s standard features also come with the winch including a tension readout system with dimming controls for better night vision.

Steiner said the project has been a team effort. “Working for Crescent and its team was easy. They’re knowledgeable and were able to give us help if we needed it,” he said.

Kettenring agreed. “When the rare problem did surface, it was always handled openly with honest communication and a willingness to work together in finding a solution,” he said. — Correspondent Michael Crowley contributed to this report.

uring tough times, many businesses make budget cuts and lay off staff, and in the worst case, close their doors permanently. In the maritime industry, success is often hit or miss. But despite unknown factors, smart business recommendations can give companies a sense of stability through innovative ways to market and streamlining of daily operations. These recommendations can increase revenue no matter how bad the economy may be during hard times.

here are many challenges facing owners and operators in different workboat markets including: macroeconomic volatility and uncertainty, increasingly complex vessels, environmental regulations, and attracting and retaining quality technical leaders onboard and ashore. One path forward for owners and operators is to leverage the step-changes that are occurring in technology to not only reduce costs and become more efficient, but also to re-

duce operational and compliance risk.

With greater “sensorization,” increased connectivity, and improvements in data analytics, there are new opportunities to capture value from operations and maintenance improvement by turning previously low value data into high value actionable information. The marine industry is now using data and analytics to achieve improvements in reliability, safety, efficiency and productivity. This session will walk you through examples of the use of data and analytics to improve maintenance and operations performance.

T

he current offshore market is suffering from stagnant oil prices and a resultant low demand for offshore service vessels. In order to sustain employment on U.S.-flag vessels, two factors have to come together. The first is the availability of trained crews who can operate modern vessels, and the second is to have an adequate number of U.S.-flag vessels gainfully being used for trade in a variety of functions. Repurposing U.S.-flag OSVs for alternate markets provides this double benefit. One of those markets may be as training vessels for state and federal maritime academies and other education institutions.

LOOKS BACK DECEMBER 1976

• In what is reportedly the nation’s deadliest ferry disaster, the 664' Norwegian tanker Frosta rammed and capsized a Mississippi River ferry on Oct. 20 killing 77 people, including all five crewmembers. Eighteen people survived. The accident occurred near Luling, La., about 25 miles upriver from New Orleans. The ferry George Prince was

loaded with commuters and cars.

Witnesses said the tanker blew several warning signals to the 125' ferry but the pilot appeared not to notice or felt he could outrun the larger tanker.

Witnesses also reported that moments before the collision, passengers on the ferry began waving and shouting to the tanker as if to make the vessel turn back. Those in cars started blowing their horns and turning DECEMBER 1986 on their

lights. The Times-Picayune reported that an autopsy on ferry pilot Egidio “Gene” Auletta showed that he had been drinking on the job.
