Barges: The good and bad

T

he oldest and largest inland shipyard in the U.S., Jeffboat, closed its doors in May, shortly after it launched its 12,917th and final vessel.

In our cover story that begins on page 28, Dale DuPont talks about the barge market and the reasons behind Jeffboat’s closure and the overall sluggishness among barge builders.

Located on 80 acres on the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Ind., Jeffboat’s five production lines once employed over 800 workers and could launch one dry hopper barge every 16 hours, one 10,000-bbl. tank barge every three days, and one 30,000-bbl. tank barge every five days.

There were several factors that led to Jeffboat’s closing. Orders for barges peaked about five years ago, fueled by cheap steel and cheap money, and accelerated depreciation. Then coal demand fell significantly and the energy downturn set in. And with properly maintained barges lasting 20 to 30 years or more, equipment equilibrium is still several years down the road.

American Commercial Lines president and CEO Mark Knoy, said Jeffboat had to build 250 hopper barges a year and employ 600-800 to be financially rewarding. Last year, Jeffboat built only 91 barges. ACL is Jeffboat’s parent company.

Other barge builders have been affected. Jeffboat’s major rival, Trinity Industries, has pared its plants and is planning a spinoff of its barge manufacturing and other businesses.

Heartland Fabrication, which built its first barge in 2006, is diversifying.

But Jeffboat’s closing may be good for the industry.

David Krapf, Editor in Chief

Brian Mueller, CEO of Heartland Barge Management LLC, which owns and manages more than 600 hopper barges and owns Heartland Fabrication, told WorkBoat that removing some barge production “is probably a good thing to get the fleet back into balance.

It will probably help to strengthen both Trinity’s and Heartland’s positions.”

Peter Stephaich, CEO of Campbell Transportation, agreed. “It’s probably good for the industry. It keeps barge capacity from increasing quickly.”

Though it may take at least three years before the industry sees retirements pick up, the long term outlook is positive for barge operators.

Passenger vessel industry day

F

or a number of years I have attended Passenger Vessel Industry Day sponsored by the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Southeastern New England. It’s a great way to get up to speed on any changes to regulations, policy letters and safety alerts for passenger vessels.

Once again there were about 120 folks in attendance, representing large carriers such as the Steamship Authority and Hy-Line Cruises and also captains of smaller ferries, day boats, charter sailing vessels along with many yacht clubs and boatyards that operate harbor launches. Companies involved in the construction and repair of passenger vessels including Blount Boats, Gladding-Hearn, Crosby Yacht Yard, Old Port and Fortier Boats were also present.

Agenda topics included regula-

tory updates, waterways management updates, confined space hazards aboard your vessel, and mariner credentials updates.

This year’s program was held at the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Center at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in Fall River, Mass.

Hats off to Sector Southeastern New England for putting together four hours of great information sharing and collaboration.

Iridium to expand GMDSS to Polar regions

B

y a consensus vote, the Londonbased International Maritime Organization (IMO) recognized U.S. satellite communications company Iridium as the second service provider for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety

System (GMDSS) on May 21, 2018.

This international recognition enables Iridium to enter the market for the IMO-required distress communications system alongside the current provider, United Kingdom-based Inmarsat, which has been the sole service provider since 1979.

The International Mobile Satellite Organization, which oversees the system for IMO, will work with Iridium to finalize the details of a service provider agreement and address implementation details.

Expected to begin service by Jan. 1, 2020, Iridium will provide global coverage that includes both Polar regions, a critical addition that will cover expanding Arctic shipping and polar tourism.

Building models — Part II

he mental model that was formed by the experienced and by most accounts safety conscious captain of the El Faro, Michael Davidson, turned out to be so flawed as to be fatal, especially when combined with the shortcomings of the old, shabby ship he captained.

Davidson gradually steered his ship into a trap, resulting in the deaths of 33 crewmembers.

This despite the fact that at the time of the ship’s departure, Davidson was aware of the weather and planned to remain south of the storm.

The trap was as much a construct of his mind as it was a case of a hurricane that defied forecaster’s best efforts — one that “didn’t do what it’s supposed to do.” Hurricanes aren’t “supposed” to do anything in particular, they just are. People forget this fact at their own peril. Any mental models built on the presumption that getting close to a major storm is “okay as long as … ” are flawed and foolish.

n April, the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) held its annual Congressional Fly-in in Washington D.C., with representatives from 25 PVAmember companies in attendance.

With my daughter Terri, I was again able to attend this year and represent our company, BB Riverboats. Our company benefits greatly from interacting with our Kentucky delegation during these PVA events. Not only are we able to build valuable relationships, but we also have the opportunity to share insights and opinions about the challenges facing our company and the passenger vessel industry.

PVA does a great job organizing this annual event. This year the association arranged more than 30 Capitol Hill meetings to be held in one day.

In addition to the meetings, we were fortunate to receive a warm-up talk from Chris Coakley, vice president of government affairs for Saltchuk, a U.S. transportation and logistics company and owner of tugboat operator Foss Maritime, Tote Services and others. Based in D.C., he represents Saltchuk’s interests at the federal level and coor-

Members of the crew seemed to have much better mental models of what was going on, but were unable to puncture the dome of institutional hierarchy that allows captains to operate in a bubble.

That failure cost them their lives.

As far as shoreside management was concerned, their mental model appeared to be virtually nonexistent in regards to vessels that operate in close proximity to a known tropical cyclone that was rapidly intensifying or otherwise. There was no clue at all that anything was amiss until the first phone call came in. That’s not a good way to operate, and is at the very least extremely irresponsible if not negligent.

So this is a warning to look at your own procedures, practices and mental models with a skeptical and critical eye. Once again I urge you to take a look at Laurence Gonzalez’s now seminal take on the subject, “Deep Survival.” It should be required reading for everybody.

Afloat and shoreside, regulators and the regulated, it’s clear that we need to think differently, very differently, if we really want to avoid these types of avoidable tragedies as we claim we do.

dinates the company’s public policy and political activities nationwide.

Coakley discussed the role of D.C. lobbyists and explained the importance of ensuring that Congress is well informed on issues facing the maritime industry. As an example, he cited recent claims that the Jones Act hindered hurricane response in Puerto Rico as being totally off the mark. He stressed the importance of ensuring that Congress and the media have the facts on the Jones Act and other important maritime issues so they will not make hasty and uninformed decisions that could negatively affect us. As a longtime supporter of the Jones Act, that was music to my ears.

It is important that we take the time to meet with our elected officials, either in D.C. or in their state or district offices, to discuss issues that affect us. Our representatives are extremely busy and are pulled in many different directions. But they are still interested in hearing from you about your business or profession, and learning about the things that help keep our industry strong.

Seeing our country’s democratic process in action is extremely rewarding. I encourage you to get involved. It is our responsibility as citizens of this great nation.

Offshore uptick bodes well for the Gulf 25

oyal Dutch Shell’s recent Dover discovery in the Norphlet play in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico is a further indication that market conditions offshore may finally be improving.

The discovery is located approximately 13 miles from the Appomattox host platform in the Gulf and is considered an attractive potential tieback. It is expected to start production before the end of 2019. “Dover showcases our expertise in discovering new, commercial resources in a heartland helping deliver our deepwater growth priority,” Andy Brown, upstream director for Royal Dutch Shell, said in a statement. “By focusing on near-field exploration opportunities in the Norphlet, we are adding to our resource base in a prolific basin that will be anchored by the Appomattox development.” The Dover discovery is Shell’s sixth in the Norphlet.

Shell’s major, deepwater hubs are well positioned for production expansion through near-field exploration and additional subsea tiebacks. The company expects its global, deepwater production to exceed 900,000 bbls. of oil equivalent per day by 2020, from already discovered, established areas.

The Dover discovery is, to some extent, a response to improving oil prices.

If the recent UK offshore leasing round is an indication, continued higher oil prices, plus discoveries like Dover, may drive a significant offshore recovery.

After the late May North Sea lease sale, UK regulators declared that oil and gas exploration is “very much alive” following the award of 123 offshore licenses in the UK Continental Shelf, according to the BBC. In the U.S. Gulf, the recovery could begin in earnest with the August lease sale. The sale, scheduled to be live streamed from New Orleans, will be the third offshore sale under the federal

More importantly, the Baker Hughes offshore rig count for the U.S. Gulf of Mexico is up 50% since the end of the first quarter, from 12 on March 29 to 18 on May 25.

“Vessel supply is tightening and the improving vessel day rates are reminiscent of what we saw in the North Sea region in 2017,” Kneen said. “Based on this pattern, 2019 should be the turnaround year for the Americas.”

Inland Insider The quaint functionality of Lower Miss tows “

R

ailroads are taking an ever smaller slice of the overall transportation pie. If this trend is accelerated by autonomous trucking, railroads that go about business as usual will eventually become like barges that ply the Missis-

sippi River. They’ll be quaint and functional but will be left out of the fastest growing areas of the economy.”

This statement from Bill Stephens (“High Hurdles for Short-Haul Intermodal,” Trains magazine, June 2018) offers a different perspective on domestic freight transportation. Railroads, it is argued, are not participating in the rapidly growing freight market that is principally made up of shipments less than 500 miles and in truckload lot siz-

es, about 20 tons or smaller. Most of the growing domestic freight market is overnight or by next day truck. You might call it the

By Kevin Horn “Amazon freight market — get your freight overnight.”

The implications for the barge sector are clear. Growth in the 1,500-ton barge load bulk commodities market has been low relative to the rest of the intermodal transport sector.

Some of the bulk cargo sectors that traditionally move by rail and barge have seen growth stagnate. Coal immediately comes to mind but the grain sector has also been weak due to strong international competition. Railroads have been able to attract some long haul intermodal freight but this market is limited in size and its profit margins are thin. Long-haul intermodal for the barge sector is mostly nonexistent unless there are special mitigating factors such as overweight containers for truck.

Still the sight of a Lower Mississippi River 35-barge tow is anything but “quaint and functional.” Yes, growth and new barge cargoes and markets seems far removed, but the stuff that is moving on the inland waterways dwarfs other transport sectors in scale and scope.

For years the transport sectors have vied over “inherent advantage” or what the different modes and operations do best from an efficiency perspective. Viewed this way, I will take the quaint functionality of the big Lower Miss tows. The only alternative is unit trains, not trucks, and the more exciting dynamic forms of transportation that are growing.

I am positive that Amazon will not be able to deliver the equivalent of a Lower Miss 50,000-ton bulk cargo barge tow the next day.

Do you need terrorism coverage?

hat is terrorism coverage and why does a boat owner need it? After the catastrophic losses from the 9/11 attacks, insurance companies responded by excluding losses due to terrorism.

To counter this, Congress enacted the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) to provide reinsurance for insurance companies. And while insurance companies are required to offer you TRIA if your normal insurance excludes acts of terror, it is up to you to decide whether or not you want to pay for the coverage.

While the term “terrorist” is often used to describe violent acts, in order for TRIA to react to a claim the U.S. Treasury must first certify that an act of terrorism has occurred. In order for this to happen several requirements must be met: • It must be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure.

• It must result in damage within the U.S., its possessions, Puerto Rico or certain air carriers or

C&C

vessels.

• It must be committed by individuals in an effort to coerce the U.S. civilian population, to influence U.S. policy or to affect U.S. government conduct by coercion.

• It must result in aggregate property casualty insurance losses that meet or exceed $5 million.

While TRIA is not usually an expensive endorsement, there are exclusions. If your unendorsed policy normally excludes nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological claims, then your TRIA endorsement will not cover them either.

Many clients don’t see their small boatyard or vessel as a potential terrorism target. Then I mention the Boston Marathon bombing. Many of the local businesses suffered damages, either due to actual property damage or to loss of income due to the event. The problem with this argument is that the Treasury Department never declared the event an act of terror and the damages never exceeded $5 million. But I still think it is a good example.

No one can tell you if you will need this coverage or not, but your policy usually will offer it to you.

A $1 million fine in an oil pollution case

I

n the maritime industry, the words “oil pollution” often brings to mind high-profile incidents such as the groundings of New Carissa in Oregon or Selendang Ayu in the Aleutian Islands.

But there are many oil discharges on the high seas that go largely unnoticed.

While navigational error or equipment failure are often at the heart of unintentional spills that make the evening news, the more obscure discharges tend to be deliberate in nature.

These intentional incidents involve falsification of oil record books, insertion of “magic pipes” to bypass oily water separation equipment, or simply waiting until darkness to jettison oily

Drones, specialized cameras, and night vision instruments have strengthened the high-tech arsenal By Tim Akpinar for investigating such environmental crimes.

But despite the availability of such sophisticated tools, a recent prosecution for shipboard pollution involved evidence from a relatively low-tech source, namely information from a crewmember.

On May 10, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the conviction and sentencing of shipping company Nitta Kisen Kaisha Ltd. for obstruction of justice and falsification of an oil record book to cover up intentional oil pollution from one of its vessels, the Atlantic Oasis.

The company was fined $1 million and placed on probation for three years. It also had to implement a courtapproved environmental compliance plan.

The ship’s chief engineer was placed on probation for one year and ordered to pay a fine of $5,500. The low-tech evidence that led to the convictions was from a junior member of the engineering department who directed investigators to the culprit hoses used to discharge oily waste. During the investigation, the chief engineer originally told authorities there was no sounding log for engine room storage tanks, which turned out not to be the case.

A million dollars may seem like a hefty fine, but in 2016 Princess Cruise Lines plead guilty to deliberate pollution of the seas and intentional acts to cover it up. Princess was fined $40 million, which set a record for the largest criminal penalty involving deliberate vessel pollution.

NEWS LOG NEWS BITTS SHELL MAKES MAJOR DEEPWATER GULF DISCOVERY

Tidewater Transportation & Terminals

S

Tidewater Barge Line’s towboat Crown Point was the first West Coast vessel to receive a certificate of inspection under Subchapter M.

Subchapter M deadline arrives

J

uly 20 is the first deadline for meeting Subchapter M towing vessel safety rules. But in the practical sense it is just another milepost in a more than decade-long process.

This summer marks the end of a twoyear phase-in period after Subchapter M took effect in July 2016. More than 5,000 previously uninspected towing vessels now must comply with the rules — from the biggest seagoing ship assist and rescue tugs to fleet pushboats.

The delay gave operators time to work on their options for complying with Subchapter M, and its requirement that all towing vessels ultimately obtain a certificate of inspection (COI).

“We have quite a few customers who have been surveying their boats and getting ready,” said Kevin Gilheany, a retired Coast Guard chief warrant officer and maritime consultant who works with operators who must comply with Subchapter M. Towing companies can opt to use Coast Guard-approved third-party organizations (TPOs), such as the American Bureau of Shipping, to survey and certify their vessels. Coast Guard officials are betting on bigger com-

panies using TPOs to make the new system work, while smaller operators with fewer resources will call on local Coast Guard marine inspectors The first COI was issued in April to the Endeavor, an 86'8"×50'×10'10", 4,200-hp ship docking module (SDM) tractor tug operated by Marine Towing of Tampa, Tampa, Fla. The second and third COIs went to the 72'×28', 2,000hp Sacred Heart, a Marquette Transportation Company LLC towboat that received its COI in Texas May 7, and to the Crown Point, a 102'×38', 4,480-hp towboat operated by Tidewater Barge Lines, Vancouver, Wash.

In a policy memoranda, Coast Guard officials outlined how companies can use approved towing safety management systems (TSMSes) to work their way through the COI process, including the use of uninspected towing vessel examination stickers as interim proof of earlier compliance.

One “point of frustration” Gilheany sees is the potential deferment of some Subchapter M requirements that vary between Coast Guard sectors. Holding off on enforcing flare requirements on one section of inland rivers, for

hell Offshore Inc. recently announced a large, deepwater, exploration discovery in the Norphlet geologic play in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico with its Dover well.

The Dover discovery is Shell’s sixth in the Norphlet and encountered more than 800 net feet of pay (244 meters).

The discovery is located approximately 13 miles from the Appomattox host platform and is considered an attractive potential tieback. Shell’s Appomattox host has now arrived on location in the U.S. Gulf and is expected to start production before the end of 2019.

“Dover showcases our expertise in discovering new, commercial resources in a heartland helping deliver our deepwater growth priority,” Andy Brown, upstream director for Royal Dutch Shell said in a statement. “By focusing on near-field exploration opportunities in the Norphlet, we are adding to our resource base in a prolific basin that will be anchored by the Appomattox development.”

Shell’s major, deepwater hubs are well positioned for production expansion through near-field exploration and additional subsea tiebacks, the company said.

The well was drilled by the Deepwater Poseidon, a newbuild rig contracted from Transocean. The 781'x138' drillship has a maximum water depth of 12,000' and a maximum drilling depth of 40,000'. Working in Mississippi Canyon Block 612, approximately 170 miles offshore southeast of New Orleans, the well was drilled in a water depth of 7,500', with a total vertical drilling depth of 29,000'. The Appomattox host platform is owned by Shell (79%) and Nexen Petroleum Offshore USA Inc. (21%). — David Krapf

Inland barge downturn may be near its bottom

T

he U.S. barge industry may have seen the worst of the downturn, with signs the equipment surplus may be working itself off and the market stabilizing, experts said at the Inland Marine Expo (IMX) in St. Louis in May. “We are starting to see a bottom here in the barge market,” Ken Eriksen, senior vice president, Informa Economics IEG, Memphis, Tenn., said. “The market is trying to right-size the fleet.”

Informa’s numbers show a decrease in the number of barges being built.

“We still had some pretty decent newbuilds for 2017 but not what we saw in 2016,” said Eriksen. “So this fleet has maybe stabilized a bit.”

On the tank barge side, utilization

example, will not serve operators well, he said.

“At the end, I think the industry would prefer consistency over saving $40 to $100 on flares,” he added.

The roots of Subchapter M trace back to 1995, when the American Waterways Operators and the Coast Guard established a joint forum to examine safety statistics and accident factors. In 2003 AWO offered to support the Coast Guard in seeking statutory authority for inspections, which Congress granted the following year.

It took years to work on the Subchapter M rules, and there are still years to go before the fleet is brought into full COI compliance. The Coast Guard’s timetable calls for 25% of vessels to be certified by July 2019, with annual 25% gains until there is 100% compliance by July 2022.

Gilheany said he is advising operators to comply with all other requirements by the deadline even if their COIs are deferred for now. In his company’s surveying of 60 to 70 vessels with uninspected towing vessel stickers, they found an average of 37 deficiencies, he said.

has picked up in 2018 and “we’ve seen spot market pricing turn more favorable for the liquid carriers,” said Chaz Jones, Informa’s senior transportation analyst.

Dry cargo has seen some modest pickup from an upturn in export coal, and more northbound cargoes on the rivers than expected. U.S. commodity competitors, particularly Argentina, are experiencing problems that give advantage to U.S. grain farmers.

But uncertainty continued for the possibility of a trade war between the U.S. and China, with mixed messages out of Washington as negotiations continued. The soybean industry was rattled by an early threat by China to levy new import duties, and the possibility darkened what was otherwise a promising outlook.

“We have the cheapest soybeans in the world right now, and that’s through the end of July,” said Andrew Holthaus, vice president of finance, Heartland Companies, Columbia, Ill. “We anticipate barge rates will remain high into the harvest season this year.”

Heartland provides barge line services, barge management, barge charters, and marine consulting and brokerage services for the inland waterways. The company also owns barge builder Heartland Fabrication, Brownsville, Pa. Other positives Holthaus cited include the high price of steel which makes scrapping barges more profitable, the feds now allowing 100% bonus appreciation on the purchase of used barges, not just newbuilds, ethanol

exports, and the number of new chemical plants coming on line.

Although business has picked up there are still some real challenges now and in the future, said Peter Stephaich, chairman and CEO of Campbell Transportation Co., Houston, Pa. “A few months ago there were barges available, now there are no open barges,” Stephaich said at IMX. “We would like to take on some spot work, but we just can’t.”

But there is no telling how long the spike in export coal will last. There are still too many barges in the fleet, and consolidation will continue within the industry, said Stepaich.

“People don’t usually sell companies because they want to,” he said. “They sell them because they have to. I think you’re going to see a smaller industry.”

Meanwhile the barge industry continues to push for more infrastructure spending on the waterways. Stephaich noted some of the biggest support for President Donald Trump in the 2016 election came from districts along the Ohio River.

“He was our guy. We were elated,” Stephaich said. “But we’re very disappointed. He’s talking about privatizing part of the infrastructure package.

That’s not sustainable. It’s a real problem.”

Still, Stephaich said he remains optimistic regardless of the challenges.

“The highways are congested. The railways are congested,” he said. “The barge folks, we need to get everybody pulling in the same direction.”

NEWS BITTS Massachusetts, Rhode Island contract for 1.2 GW offshore wind power

he offshore wind power industry could establish a strong base in southern New England with the choice

by Massachusetts and Rhode Island to have Vineyard Wind and Deepwater Wind develop 1.2 gigawatts on federal leases.

Vineyard Wind, a partnership between European offshore wind developers Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), proposes an 800-megawatt array south of Martha’s Vineyard. Deepwater Wind would send up to 400 MW of power ashore to Rhode Island from its planned Revolution Wind project in federal waters south of the two states.

The Dina Polaris was one of several OSVs working out of New Bedford this spring to study wind energy lease areas.

COAST GUARD WARNS TERMINAL OPERATORS OF SHORE SIDE BOLLARD FAILURES

R

ecent failures of shore side bollards that cast moored vessels adrift prompted the Coast Guard to urge terminal operators to inspect for deteriorated material conditions in bollards, their foundations and fasteners.

Neither the Coast Guard nor the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have regulatory oversight over bollards so it is up to operators to check. Vessels and shore side facilities have been damaged in the incidents, but no deaths or injuries reported.

“In several cases the underlying deficient material condition of the bollards was unknown until the failures occurred,” according to a May 30 safety from the Coast Guard.

“Causes include the rotting of organic bollards made of marine pilings, the undetected fracture of bollard castings due to manufacturer defects, damage from previous overloads, or the degradation of bollard foundations and fasteners. Typically, the failures are associated with abnormal dynamic loads transferred to the bollard from a vessel.”

Those loads can be brought by winds acting against the broadside sail area of large ships — which are substantial for the new generation of cruise ships and very large containerships.

In a mid-May incident at Port Newark, N.J., the 984'x149', 8,004-TEU Hapag-Lloyd containership Tucapel broke mooring lines as it moved toward a berth. The ship had to drop anchor and be stabilized with assistance from four tugs.

Coast Guard officials recommend that facility owners and operators “take steps to develop a routine inspection program for bollards and other mooring equipment. Furthermore, vessel personnel should report discoveries of apparently deficient shore side mooring equipment to facility managers.” — K. Moore

Officials in both states were under pressure from the commercial fishing industry to take a slower approach on developing the area around Martha’s Vineyard, and allow for years of study with smaller arrays. Those calls for a more cautionary approach have been bolstered by Massachusetts and federal fisheries agencies.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island have vied for years to position themselves

as bases for an eventual U.S. offshore wind industry, touting New Bedford, Mass., and North Kingston, R.I., as ideal deepwater ports to build and service turbine arrays.

Rhode Island was first out of the gate when Deepwater built its pilot project — the five-turbine, 30-MW Block Island wind farm in 2016. The new commitments by both states is important because they will likely attract new

investment in the nascent industry, said Liz Burdock, executive director of the Business Network for Offshore Wind.

“The economic driver is scale. I don’t think local mandates (for renewable energy) are the way to go,” said Burdock.

Investment will flow to the states that have made commitments as the momentum builds for a U.S. industry, she said.

Once companies start setting up — not just the offshore wind developers but secondary suppliers — “you will start seeing them get a foothold, and it will be hard for them to move,” said Burdock.

With the Trump administration’s continuance of the “all of the above” policy toward offshore energy that began in the Obama administration, states are again jockeying for a piece of the shore side industries that could grow from wind development.

New Jersey politicians who had hoped to get the first U.S. pilot project off Atlantic City are again talking up the Delaware River as a homeport for federal wind lease development offshore. New York City officials are reactivating the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal with an eye toward hosting wind energy support, as Statoil is already planning its Empire Wind project on a 79,350-acre lease tucked between approaches to the harbor.

The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has issued 13 leases off the East Coast to wind companies.

“We have more than 8 gigawatts in policy commitments” to attract more investment, Burdock said. “Eight gigawatts in Europe now support 9,600 jobs.”

It’s impossible to say yet what the timeline would be for building out that many turbines on this side of the Atlantic, she added. In the early stages the existing U.S. offshore construction and support fleet will be able to start the work, but as the industry scales up there will be incentive to build new U.S.flagged Jones Act vessels.

“When you start talking about 8, 10, 12 gigawatts, you will see a vessel operator build one,” said Burdock.

Fireboats

Rapid Response Small, nimble fireboats protect growing waterfront communities.

By Kirk Moore, Associate Editor

22

S

everal high-profile fireboat projects — big state-of-the-art vessels in port cities like San Francisco, Long Beach, Calif., and New York — have made headlines in recent years.

But fire departments across the U.S. have been busy acquiring smaller, versatile multimission fire and rescue boats. The market is driven by growing coastal populations, waterfront redevelopment in urban areas, and even growth in semi-rural areas where a boat may be the quickest way to get water on a fire.

The Scullville Volunteer Fire Company in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., knew they needed one of these boats after fighting a major marina fire in 2011 that claimed several boats.

“Of course it was all the way out on the last dock,” recalled Chief Steve Prisament. “I wouldn’t say it was a nightmare, but we had a heck of a time getting to it.”

The fire helped push forward a fireboat project that had been discussed for years. In June 2015 Stanley Boats/Connor Industries, Ontario, Canada, delivered the 33'×9' Marine 3, powered by a pair of 200-hp Yamaha outboards and armed with a 1,500-gpm Darley fire pump.

Sure enough, three days after its launch, the Marine 3 was called on to help the Atlantic City Fire Department battle a blaze in a crowded waterfront

neighborhood.

“We used the deck gun to wet down the house.

They couldn’t get guys out to the far side where it was out over the water on pilings,” said Prisament.

Marine 3 is the only dedicated fireboat in Atlantic County, N.J. Farther south on the Atlantic Ocean, Miami Beach lies on the seaward side of the MiamiDade County metropolis, which has a large fire and rescue fleet. But the seven-mile long barrier island city acquired its own fireboat in 2016, a 28'×10' Courageous-class boat from Metal Shark, Jeanerette, La., to protect its densely urbanized waterfront.

“On the bay side we have condos, many homes and small islands. They are very accessible by water, many are right on canals,” said Juan Ramón Mestas, deputy chief of operations with the Miami Beach Fire Department.

With a 1,000-gpm pumping capacity the boat can attack structure and boat fires along the waterfront, and also provide additional pumping capacity for firefighters on land, said Mestas.

Early on some community advisors doubted the need for the boat, which cost around $267,000 with some of the tab covered by federal security grant money. But fire officials say it is worth having the rapid local response capability. www.workboat.com • JULY 2018 • WorkBoat

Miami Beach Fire Department

The Miami Beach Fire Department took delivery of a 28' Courageous-class fireboat from Metal Shark in 2016 to ensure speedy local response to waterfront emergencies.

Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District

FRESHWATER FIREBOATS Population growth and new housing in once remote rural and resort areas are driving new fireboat needs on rivers and lakes.

“We have 20 miles of riverfront” along the Great Egg Harbor River, said Prisament. The Marine 3 fireboat is a way to reach homes on the river that are set far back from main roads in the New Jersey Pinelands forest reserve.

This spring the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District on Lake Tahoe, Nev., put into service Marine 24, a new 32' fireboat built by Lake Assault Boats, Superior, Wis., a part of Fraser Shipyards Inc. Lake Tahoe firefighters handle both structural and wildland fires in an area made up of growing lakeside neighborhoods. However, some of these areas lack water supply mains.

“Homes today around Lake Tahoe are larger, built closer together, and are located farther from the lake, while emergency access is hampered by narrow roads and limited turnarounds for responding fire trucks,” according to district fire marshal Eric Guevin. “We really needed this apparatus to meet the code requirements and provide fire protection to homes along the lake that are not yet connected to a municipal water system.”

“The new boat will give our firefighters access to a much larger water supply, and one that is pumped from the lake in a safe and ecological manner,” TDFPD chief Scott Baker said in announcing the boat’s arrival. “This new capability will directly save lives, property, and our precious Lake Tahoe environment from catastrophic fire damage.”

outboards, and equipped with Mercury Skyhook digital anchor and joystick piloting systems. Firefighting power comes from a 1,500-gpm Darley pump, powered by a dedicated V-8 engine. The pump supplies a pilothouse rooftop remote-controlled Task Force Tips Monsoon monitor, two deck monitors, and a large diameter hose discharge mounted in front of the pilothouse to supply land-based apparatus.

That gives Marine 24 the capability to operate as a “floating fire hydrant,” said Chad DuMars, Lake Assault’s vice president for operations. The landing craft-style hull incorporates a 74" hydraulically operated bow door with integrated ladder, a portside dive door, and hose storage compartments.

An 11'×9'6" pilothouse has 80" of headroom, and center position fore and aft doors. Arrayed around the integrated helm station are dual 12" touchscreens mounted on the dash, Garmin radar and sonar with GPS, chart plotting, structure/side scan, and a forward looking infrared (FLIR) system.

Scullville Volunteer Fire Company

The Miami-Dade boats “are relatively close, but they have a lot of area to cover,” said Mestas. With their own boat – powered by a pair of 250-hp Mercury outboards for speeds up to 45 knots – Miami Beach responders can be on the scene of a water rescue or fire in the critical first minutes, he said.

The Scullville Volunteer Fire Company acquired its 33' Stanley fireboat in 2015 for firefighting and water rescue on the Great Egg Harbor River and around Atlantic City, N.J.

www.workboat.com • JULY 2018 • WorkBoat

Lake Assault this year debuted its first rigid hull inflatable boat (RIB), a 22' rescue boat designed for operation in fast water, with drafts as little as 12" to 14". Rated for up to 225 hp for speeds exceeding 45 mph, the RIB is being marketed as a good platform for water rescue and flood operations.

A large open deck and center helm station with a T-top affords good visibility. The heavy-duty buoyancy tube is available in three configurations: air filled, high-density foam, or a hybrid air bladder with a foam exterior. A model displayed by Lake Assault at the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) Exhibition in Indianapolis, Ind., in late April was equipped with a Darley 375-gpm pump powered by a compact Honda engine.

North River Boats, Roseburg, Ore., has been busy delivering new iterations of its Sounder-class fireboats across the U.S., with custom made variants delivered to Washington state and Mississippi.

The Poulsbo (Wash.) Fire Department got its 28'×9'6" boat in January, followed by a 31'×9'6" vessel to the Biloxi (Miss.) Fire Department in March. A 31'×10' landing craft-style fireboat is scheduled to be delivered in August to the Narragansett (R.I.) Fire Department.

North River CEO and owner Brent Hutchings said they meet with each customer and carefully tailor boats that are optimized for each fire department’s needs. That diversity shows in the latest Sounders, each with its own options for Yamaha outboard power in twin 250- or 300-hp setups, Darley fire pumps coupled to KEM engines, and Task Force Tips monitors.

C

&C Marine and Repair, Belle Chasse, La., has delivered the 160'×50' Chris Reeves, the second of three new 6,600-hp, triple-screw Z-drive towboats, to Marquette Transportation Co. The Chris Reeves was completed just three months after the first 6,600-hp towboat, the Cindy L. Erickson, was delivered by C&C Marine to Marquette in February.

Designed by CT Marine, Portland, Maine, the new towboat is powered by three Cummins QSK60-M main engines paired to three Steerprop SP25D azimuthing Z-drive thrusters, a configuration designed to allow for optimal speed, power and maneuverability. In addition, the Z-drives operate at lower engine loads to boost fuel efficiency.

The vessel’s superstructure is supported on a bed of springs for added crew comfort, and a soft-core joiner system was installed in the accommodation spaces for added comfort and fire safety.

C&C Marine is no stranger to building towboats with triple-Z drives. In 2017, the boatyard built three of them for SCF Marine. All three were built and delivered within eight months.

“We take production deadlines very serious at C&C Marine,” Tony Cibilich, C&C Marine’s president, said in a statement announcing the delivery. “We understand the economic incentive for everyone involved to produce these vessels in a timely manner, while maintaining the highest quality of construction. ” The third towboat for Marquette is scheduled for delivery in August, with the fourth optional boat scheduled for

24

delivery in December. C&C Marine anticipates that its new 83,350-sq.-ft. climate-controlled robotic blast and paint facility will be fully operational by July of this year. Once the facility is completed, the company will be able to complete a blast and paint job on a 30,000-bbl. tank barge in five to six days, regardless of the weather, the company said.

Nordlund Boat delivers 63' pilot boat

E

arlier this year, Nordlund Boat Co., Tacoma, Wash., launched the 63'6"×19'3" pilot boat Orion for Jacobsen Pilot Service, Long Beach, Calif. The boat’s design, with a draft of 3'1", is based on the successful series of pilot boats built previously by Nordlund for the Puget Sound Pilots.

JPS is the only contracted piloting company for the Port of Long Beach. JPS pilots move an average of 7,000 ships per year.

The Orion was designed by Tim Nolan Marine Design and built by at Nordlund’s Tacoma yard.

“The Orion was built to last 40-plus years with reduced maintenance costs and high efficiency,” Capt. Tom Jacobsen, president of Jacobsen Pilot Service, said. “Nordlund and Tim Nolan were chosen for their reputation for quality boats that are safe and efficient, and for their proven designs. Our boat operators were involved with every detail of this boat from start to finish. She will deliver pilots to ships safely, in all weather conditions, for many years.”

The helm console is a wraparound style, giving the captain full view of all systems, including navigation, speed, engine room video, equipment temperatures and oil pressures. Grab rails give added security for helm control during stormy conditions.

Besides the main helm station, there are full controls on port and starboard bridge wings, plus sliding windows to give the helmsman verbal contact with

the pilot during transfers. There are also port and starboard quarter controls for docking stations, and a man overboard control station, each giving the helmsman ideal position for docking, personnel transfers or man overboard recovery.

The Airex sandwich composite hull was infused in a mold with Hydrex vinyl ester blend resin using knitted Eglass fabrics to meet ABS requirements for high-speed vessels. The fendering strake is cored with Coosa high-density core for increased shear strength. The decks and bulkheads are of composite E-glass and foam sandwich construction. The deckhouse and mast are built of carbon fiber with a foam sandwich to reduce weight and make a strong and stiff structure. The resulting center of gravity is such that the vessel has a positive righting arm for 180° port and starboard.

The Orion is self-righting and capable of recovering from a capsize.

Metal Marine delivers freight hauler to Alaska he Sandy C is finally operating out of Homer, Alaska. Designed

by Specmar in Scappoose, Ore., and built by Metal Marine in Homer, the 450-hp, 42'×12' aluminum landing craft style freight hauler was launched in July 2017 but was used very little before being hauled for the winter.

Now she’s back in the water, with a crane from Maxilift Cranes which was installed on the bow’s port side in May. The Sandy C “is completely ready for work,” said its owner Rory Stark.

The vessel will operate in all but the winter months hauling people, freight and vehicles throughout Cook Inlet.

The crane, which extends out about 15' and has a 3,000-lb. capacity, can pick up items off the beach or put them ashore. A capstan winch will pull anchors (one on the bow, one on the stern), pull items across the deck or,

through a davit, haul things aboard.

Long-range traveling will allow Stark and his crew or passengers to take advantage of the live aboard design of the accommodations area. There’s a bunk in the wheelhouse and three bunks below, as well as a full galley with a refrigerator and cook stove, plus a head and a shower. Water is heated off the heat exchanger on the port main engine and the cabin heater runs off the starboard main engine, as does a hydraulic pump to power the crane and winch.

The engines are 225-hp Volvo Penta D4s hooked up to Volvo Penta DPH outdrives. Stark said that the power

package enabled the Sandy C to hit 20 knots with “a bunch of people aboard.

I think we had about 8,000 pounds.” In light condition, she hit 24 to 25 knots.

Specmar refers to the 42 footer as a “wide door” model. “It’s designed to have the maximum door opening while still maintaining the hull’s structural integrity,” said Specmar’s Mike Pollard.

The aluminum bow door also extends much higher above the hull than doors on other Specmar landing craft models.

Stark likes the additional length. It allows him to set “a little farther offshore to drive vehicles on and off.”

wice since November barge builder Jeffboat LLC warned of upcoming layoffs, each time saying it had no plans to shut down. But

by March the dramatic drop in demand led parent American Commercial Lines (ACL) to announce the closing of the oldest and largest inland shipyard in the U.S. Jeffboat’s history dates back to 1834 with the founding of riverboat builder Howard Shipyard.

During World War II, the yard built ships for the Navy. After the war, Jeffboat focused on barges and towboats. Located on 80 acres on the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Ind., the yard’s five production lines once employed over 800 workers and could launch one dry hopper barge every 16 hours, one 10,000-bbl.

tank barge every three days, and one 30,000bbl. tank barge every five days. In late April, Jeffboat launched its 12,917th and final vessel.

Industry orders peaked about five years ago, fueled by low steel prices and favorable investment terms. Then coal shipments fell significantly and the energy downturn set in. Reaching equilibrium could take quite a while. Well-built and maintained barges can last 20 to 30 years or longer.

Other barge builders have been affected.

Jeffboat’s major rival, Trinity Industries, has pared its plants and is planning a spinoff of its barge manufacturing and other businesses.

weak demand, oversupply.

BARGE NEWBUILDS DOWN Jumbo hopper barge deliveries last year fell by 71.6% from 976 in 2016 to 277, River Transport News reported.

“The diminutive newbuild numbers last year were more than offset by barge scrapping activity,” RTN said. Tank barge deliveries to inland operators fell for the third straight year to 85 in 2017 down from 112 in 2016.

Heartland Barge Management

ville Marine Products), which built its first barge in 2006, is diversifying.

“They (Jeffboat) made a very painful but very logical decision,” said Brent Dibner, a maritime industry consultant at Dibner Maritime Associates, Chestnut Hill, Mass. “I don’t think they did anything wrong.”

The fleet has been in the same size range for a decade or more. “The result is simple math. Coatings are better, carriers are fewer, the grain trade is a gentle trade, and coal has very substantially declined” in both tonnage and ton-miles. And coal “was where you took your slightly battered covered barges.”

“In theory, if you take away supply you improve utilization, which should improve rates,” Dibner said. They can hope this will tighten demand, raise prices slightly and reduce overbuilding.

“Higher prices at least cause people to think twice.”

There also is some hope that increased coal exports will make up for a 30% drop in domestic shipments since 2011 that was fueled by coal-fired power plant closings or conversions to natural gas. The U.S. exported 97 million short tons of coal in 2017 — most of it steam coal — a 61% increase from 2016, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Recent weather extremes from low water to ice and floods meant delays, traffic congestion and more towboats with fewer barges. Grain tonnage through late April on the Mississippi, Ohio and Arkansas rivers was 14% lower than the three-year average, U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show. And uncertainty over trade with China persists.

Next year, Heartland Fabrication plans to start offering 10,000-bbl. tank barges as well as other large heavy steel fabrication work outside the marine industry.

In 2017 Jeffboat built 91 barges — 27 covered hoppers, 47 open hoppers, two 10,000-bbl. tank, nine 30,000bbl. clean, and six 30,000-bbl. hot oil barges.

“We had to build the equivalent of 250 hopper barges a year and employ 600-800” to be financially rewarding, said Mark Knoy, ACL president and CEO. Up until last year, that’s what they were doing, “and we had been building at a profit.”

Over time, “you saw cheap steel, cheap money and the unintended consequences of accelerated depreciation. At the same time, we had demand leaving the river,” primarily coal, he said. By the time the market caught up, barges were already built.

Since Knoy arrived in 2011, Jeffboat has been the principal supplier of ACL’s barges. “We have built at other yards, too,” he said. “I think you will see us ordering barges on a regular basis. Prices will be subject to demand.”

As for the future of Jeffboat’s property and equipment, Knoy said, “We’ve got all kinds of inquiries,” but no firm plans as of mid-May. “There’s a lot of interest mostly from developers who want to use the land in other ways,” said Jeffersonville Mayor Mike Moore. Jeffboat could give the land to the city, “and you get a pretty nice tax write-off, and the city is willing to accept the responsibility of cleaning the site,” said Moore, who expects to discuss the issue with ACL.

The May shutdown affected 207 employees. “For me this is heartbreaking news that the boatyard will be closing,” Jeff Cooper, business agent and recording secretary for Teamsters Local 89 and a former Jeffboat worker, said in a notice on the union’s site. He met a lot of great people, who “work extremely hard at building a great bigass American-made product the oldfashioned way like no other, and it was always built under the union label with extreme pride.” Union officials could not be reached for further comment.

high debt burden and prolonged weakness in both liquid and dry markets. “A meaningful recovery seems unlikely in the near term amid freight rate pressures that will continue to weigh on earnings from persistent supplydemand imbalances,” said the rating agency, which estimates ACL’s revenue at $1 billion for the year ended Dec. 31, 2017.

Platinum Equity acquired ACL, which has 4,200 barges and 150 boats, in December 2010 in a $777 million deal that took the company private.

Historically, ACL was one of Jeffboat’s most significant customers, the company said in filings before going private.

diversified its services away from coal and gotten into the grain and liquid markets. The company has moved into new geographic areas, provides crane and construction services, and offers consulting and compliance services for Subchapter M. TRINITY TO SPIN OFF BARGE GROUP Trinity is making a strategic move this year to spin off its infrastructure related businesses — including the inland barge group — into a public company, Arcosa Inc. Trinity will continue to operate its integrated rail manufacturing, leasing, and services businesses.

The spin off should be completed in the fourth quarter. Barge and railcar production has been suffering since the second half of 2015, company filings said. Inland barge revenue fell 76% from $652.9 million in 2015 to $157.9 million last year. But they see “potential early signs” of a recovery.

At the end of 2008, Trinity reported a barge order backlog of $527.8 million.

It hit a high of $564.1 million in 2012, but fell to only $98.2 million by the end of 2017, regulatory filings show.

For the first quarter, the backlog was $124.5 million with liquid inquiries “encouraging,” company officials told analysts.

“We have no comment on the impact of Jeffboat’s decision to stop building barges,” said Trinity spokesman Jack Todd, adding that they produce barges in Caruthersville, Mo. and Ashland City, Tenn. He wouldn’t say whether they’re interested in Jeffboat’s facilities.

However, Eriksen said he expects

Trinity shut down its Madisonville, La., yard, which had 336 workers, in 2015, and Brusly, La., with its 288 workers, in 2016.

Taking a production company offline “is probably a good thing to get the fleet back into balance. It will probably help to strengthen both Trinity’s and Heartland’s positions.”

“It’s probably good for the industry,” said Stephaich of Campbell Transportation. “It keeps barge capacity from increasing quickly.”

“There’s a significant turndown now in commercial marine industrial,” said David W. Evanczyk, CEO of Marine Builders Inc., Jeffersonville, a familyowned towboat, passenger vessel and repair yard located near Jeffboat.

“We’re a smaller company, and we’re moving in other directions.” They’re getting back into pedestrian bridge construction and steel fabrication, and they expect repair work generated by Subchapter M. Last year, Parker Towing, Tuscaloosa, Ala., took delivery of 35 jumbo hopper barges from Jeffboat. The company now has 310 hopper and four tank barges in its fleet. “We certainly hate to see them go. They’ve been a great supplier in the past,” said Charles Haun, vice chairman and CEO. “It certainly limits the companies in barge building and boatbuilding for the inland towing industry.”

He’s seen a number of cycles in his 43 years in the business, and yards have closed “but nothing as big as Jeffboat.”

“We have been through some tough times before,” Haun said. So, how long before the industry is back in balance?

“I’m just beginning to try to figure that out. We’re talking about years, not months.”

YC Ferry’s new Incat Crowther-designed ferries for New York were a gamble when first conceived about two years ago. Today they are a huge success, with the only major criticism from the people who matter — the riders — is that there are not enough of them.

That situation is being remedied.

New boats and additional routes are being added.

One of the project’s biggest gambles came in the form of the ferries’ main propulsion engines. Instead of using diesels from one of the industry's standard-bearers, the owners rolled the dice with French-built Moteurs Baudouin marine engines. From most

34

reports, they came up winners.

Most of the ferries employ pairs of Baudouin 16-liter 6M26.3 engines, producing 815 hp at 2,100 rpm each.

The ferries built with extra bulk to operate on routes with rougher water, have pairs of 32-liter 12M26.3 Baudouin diesels rated at 1,400 hp at 2,100 rpm each. So far the engines have delivered what the manufacturer had promised.

Boats with Tier 4 engines are becoming more plentiful in the U.S. The 129'×35'×19' tug Earl W Redd was reportedly the first vessel to be powered with Caterpillar 3516C Tier 4 Final engines when it went into operation last year. Also, last summer the 100'×40', 6,770-hp tug Capt. Brian

A. McAllister, sporting a pair of Cat 3516E diesels, became the first Tier 4 tug on the U.S. East Coast.

It’s not all about Tier 4 for newbuilds. Master Marine, Bayou La Batre, Ala., has delivered the third of four 67'×28' towboats to Waterfront Services Co. Each towboat is powered by a pair of Y3MPTAW Mitsubishi 803-hp (at 1,400 rpm) Tier 3 diesel marine engines.

And Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Duclos Corp. is building a new high-speed passenger ferry for Rhode Island Fast Ferry Inc. The 320-passenger all-aluminum catamaran will be powered by twin MTU-12V4000M64 Tier 3 diesel engines, each delivering 1,875 hp at 1,800 rpm. www.workboat.com • JULY 2018 • WorkBoat

Koden's new MDC 7900 radar comes with a 19" screen or as a black box option.

New radar offerings make life easier in the wheelhouse.

he mariner in the wheelhouse usually has a lot on his mind. Throw in long hours, dealing with unpleasant weather and a lack of sleep, and he or she might not be as alert near the end of a trip as at the beginning. Anything that makes the job easier, and increases the level of situational awareness as to what is happening on the water, is a good thing.

In that regard, the three radars mentioned below — JRC, Koden and Furuno — all address that issue and others.

JRC’s JMR 5400 radar was introduced late last year.

Anyone familiar with JRC radars will notice that the JMR 5400 is different. To start with there’s the product name: JRC radar models have always been JMA followed by four numbers, while this series of high-speed radars starts with JMR and then the four numbers.

The previous models, first the JMA-5300Mk1 and then the JMA-5300Mk2, have been available for about 20 years.

But with new developments in processing and antenna technology, it was time for a change. That gave JRC an opportunity to take advantage of what it had been doing for radars on large oceangoing vessels and apply it to workboats.

JRC adapted a processor used with its high-speed radars and made it part of the JMR-5400 package. “It’s a very high powered processor,” said Ian Bowles, sales manager with Alphatron Marine, a subsidiary of JRC. A feature the processor brings with it is instantaneous range changes. It’s instantaneous because the radar is already processing one or two ranges out, say two to six miles. So when the range setting is changed, “the radar doesn’t have to redraw the picture because it was already redrawing it in the background.”

Target tracking is another feature that comes with the oceangoing vessel’s radar’s processor. The JMR-5400 automatically tracks targets, starting with ones closest to your vessel. When a target is selected for tracking with ARPA (automatic radar plotting aid), you “get an instantaneous readout,” said Bowles, “because it’s already behind the scenes tracking it.”

A new JRC feature is Radar Trails. It shows where a vessel was over a period of time measured in intervals — each a different color. “You can see over a period of time if they are slowing down or speeding up,” said Bowles, by the trail’s length color decreasing or increasing. Trails can be hidden if you are working with vessels and you know where they are and want to reduce the amount of information on the radar screen.

Completely new is the X-band 25-kW DC-powered antenna in 6', 7' or 9' lengths with a lower profile than previous radars to reduce the load on the motor.

Then there’s the solid state S-band antenna option. Most large commercial boats have both X- and S-band antennas mounted on or above the wheelhouse. The X-band, because its narrow beam puts a crisp sharp image on the radar display, and an S-band scanner because it has good long range detection and is particularly adapt at picking up targets in www.workboat.com • JULY 2018 • WorkBoat

KODEN The new Koden MDC-7900 series radar distributed by Si-Tex Marine Electronics was introduced this past fall with a 19" display, or a black box option, new antennas and processing capability. It complies with IMO and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) regulations.

What’s new with Koden’s open array antenna is its brushless motor. Allen Schneider, vice president of sales and marketing at Si-Tex Marine, isn’t aware of another company that offers it. “On tugs, especially,” he said, “radars are running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So longevity of the motors turning the antenna is an issue.”

He figures that a brushless motor will have more than double the life expectancy of the traditional antenna motor. Thus downtime to replace an antenna motor will be less frequent, as will having to spend $1,100 to $1,200 for a new motor.

Tug and riverboat operators are primary markets for Koden, especially riverboat operators along the Mississippi River. Thus, Koden has carried over a feature that it first introduced in 2015. Flip a switch and the screen turns from coastal mode to river mode,

rain and snow. “Every large vessel has one of each,” noted Bowles.

That’s generally not the case with smaller workboats because there’s not enough room to mount the X-band antenna and a traditional 12-foot Sband antenna. Then add the weight of the pedestal. “It probably weighs 200 to 300 kilos (440 to 660 lbs.),” said Bowles and a smaller workboat can’t handle both antennas.

But with JRC’s new 8' antenna — billed as the world’s first 8' solid state S-band antenna — and a pedestal weighing about 187 lbs., making it only 44 to 66 lbs. more than a comparable X-band radar, the S-band antenna can be accommodated on smaller vessels. “Basically we are opening up the S-band world to a lot of vessels that traditionally never had the physical room to mount it,” said Bowles.

Furuno’s NXT radar display with the Target Analyzer feature engaged shows boats moving towards you at 3 knots or more in red. Turn Target Analyzer off and the visual warning is lost.

which has a vertical or portrait layout.

It gives a north-south, fore-aft view, instead of a horizontal image.

“It’s what river captains prefer because they don’t have to see the sides,” said Schneider. “They have to see ahead of them.”

For coastal use with a horizontal or landscape image, the MDC-7900’s sea clutter performance has been improved. Sea clutter can be a problem, especially in heavy or choppy seas.

“Koden has done pretty well with containing it in the past,” said Schneider.

But adding processing power to the MDC-7900 “made it even better than it was. It reduces clutter drastically.”

The MDC-7900 series has Koden’s Clear Image feature with high-speed sampling for improved short-range detection. Then the True Trail feature takes targets that are moving and shows a color trail of their course. The trail’s length can be set to look like a wake or a long line. “You can easily look at the target and see ‘this guy’s heading here and this guy’s heading there,’ ” said Schneider.

FURUNO The newest radar technology from Furuno is its solid-state doppler NXT radars (DRS4D and DRS6A) with Target Analyzer. Instead of receiving just range and bearing to a target, Target Analyzer gives “you a third component with every sweep,” said Eric Kunz senior project manager at Furuno. That’s radio velocity. It reveals if a target on the radar screen is moving at you at a speed of more than three knots. If so, that target or targets is colored red while other targets are green.

“Take a quick glance at the screen and see which targets are a threat to

www.workboat.com • JULY 2018 • WorkBoat

you,” said Kunz. “That’s something that’s kind of revolutionary in terms of radar.”

The NXT not only warns of approaching vessels traveling at more than three knots, it detects rain as well as what a rain squall might be hiding.

Rain often appears as clutter on the radar screen and doesn’t always show hard targets, such as vessels or even rocks that are inside of the rainstorm.

“You just don’t see them,” Kunz said.

The NXT radar using Doppler technology “can overcome the limitation with traditional X-band radars and see rain and hard targets inside the rain,” said Kunz.

He added that the ability to see in rain is “unique to solid state technology” and Furuno “is the only one to do rain information.” Once a target has been selected, the fast target-tracking feature gives a speed and course vector.

Another feature of the NXT radars with solid-state technology as opposed to magnetron radar that makes it appealing for commercial operators, is “there’s no theoretical magnetron life.

Its life expectancy is more than double the magnetron radar,” Kunz said.

When the NXT radar was introduced two years ago it came with only a dome antenna. However, a 6' open array scanner is now available with built-in NXT technology.

The NXT radars fall into the light commercial market, whereas Furuno’s FAR series is more of a large-boat commercial radar. The FAR radars are not new but have been recently updated in terms of signal processing and some detection information has been automated, including clutter control.
