t’s hard to believe, but it is time for another International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans. The 36th installment of the show kicks off on Dec. 1 and runs through Dec. 3. Once again, it’s time for the industry to show their stuff in the form of the latest products and services. Each year we show what the industry has been creating in our annual Boatbuilding Review (see page 82). In it, scores of boats from every workboat sector loaded with the latest technology are highlighted. In all, the review contains about 50 vessels and barges that appeared in the pages of WorkBoat over the past 12 months. We will be honoring 10 boats taken from this list at a breakfast ceremony before the show opens on Wednesday, Dec. 2. From these 10 Significant Boats, we will choose the 2015 Boat of the Year. This year’s list includes research vessels, offshore service vessels, towboats, a passenger vessel, a tractor tug and a bunkering tanker In this issue, we also revisit the top stories of the year (see page 52). Unfortunately, the big story is about the lingering offshore slump. But while the story paints a gloomy picture, the news isn’t all bad. One positive is the scrapping of so-called “tired iron.” In this case, the scrapping of old OSVs will help jump-start the offshore sector when the next boom period comes. And it will come, as Todd Hornbeck, chief of OSV operator Hornbeck Offshore, said in October. “ ... When it comes, it will have a pronounced effect on our core markets, particularly the Gulf of Mexico,” he told analysts during the company’s Oct. 29 earnings call. “The more protracted this down-

turn lasts, the greater the need will be for our customers to restore their reserve portfolios.” Jeremy D. Thigpen, Transocean’s president and CEO, echoed Hornbeck’s assessment in his company’s November earnings call saying that “the need for future reserve replacement remains critical.” And to be prepared for the next upturn, companies will still need to be aware of the industry’s latest products and services that will be on display at this year’s WorkBoat Show. I hope to see you there.

Cadet training program at American Queen

ike any other growing company in a growth industry, American Queen Steamboat Company (AQSC) is constantly looking for qualified candidates for employment. We recently decided to partner with maritime academies to groom the next generation of professional mariners. This is a unique program that provides great benefits for both parties. It allows cadets to gain valuable experience and AQSC to make connections for future mariner recruiting opportunities. Cadets are exposed to all aspects of marine operations by spending time working on deck, in the engine room and in the pilothouse. Many aspects of the U.S. maritime industry are on the decline, leaving fewer opportunities for those interested to earn experience through an internship or apprenticeship program.

Through AQSC’s program, cadets have the chance to work in and learn more about the U.S.-flag passenger vessel industry. There is a lot of room for growth in this niche, which is anticipated to provide many job opportunities in the future. AQSC hopes to capitalize on its unique position and continue to expand the program. This past summer, we had three cadets onboard the American Queen, the company’s flagship 436-passenger overnight cruise vessel which operates on the Mississippi River System. Dominic Blanton, Richard Bryant and Lucas Spinosa, cadets at the Texas A&M Maritime Academy in Galveston, Texas, came to the American Queen with a high level of education, enthusiasm and excitement. As part of the program, each cadet is assigned a project to complete while onboard. For example, one cadet’s project was to make up several drawings showing the vessel general arrangement, steam

engines and steering gear in great detail. The crew and officers onboard the steamboat helped the cadets learn the processes, functions and capabilities of the vessel. Texas A&M Maritime Academy has many students from the Gulf Coast region, which fits nicely into American Queen’s primary area of operation. The internship program and our partnership with the academy present a unique opportunity to work together, make connections and gain experience working on the American Queen. At AQSC, we plan to develop the program further in both the deck and engineering departments. This will help secure a solid career path for these cadets and provide a source of quality professional mariners for our fleet.

Voyage planning — Part III

By Joel Milton

Joel Milton works on towing vessels. He can be reached at joelmilton@ yahoo.com.

s the boxer Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan ‘till they get punched in the mouth.” Which is to say that people’s plans, even those of well-educated, well-trained, competent and intelligent people, often don’t mesh with reality. Plans often don’t adequately allow for viable alternatives to be chosen as additional information becomes available. Confusing voyage planning and execution with a Swiss railroad schedule is done at your mortal peril. This brings me to the sad tale of the TOTE containership El Faro, lost on Oct. 1 with all 33 hands after an unplanned but direct encounter with Hurricane Joaquin while en route to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Everyone, including those involved in the operation of the El Faro, knew at the time the ship left Jacksonville, Fla., that Joaquin had formed east of the Bahamas (aka Hurricane Alley) during

Captain’s Table A law to deal with congestion

WB_AAG_LINO.indd 14

rowing congestion from recreational boats, jet skis, kayaks, canoes and even paddleboards is increasingly challenging commercial operators on the nation’s waterways. There are more incidents of dangerous close encounters that in most cases are avoided because professional mariners are experienced and able to take the appropriate steps to successfully avoid them. I have had jet skis cross my bow, jump my wake, and try to run circles around my vessel. I have encountered scores of kayaks in the channel and swarms of paddle boarders in the middle of the river. So, you ask, what can be done? Well, did you know that there is a law that allows the Coast Guard to fine individuals who jeopardize our safety? In 1997, the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) successfully lobbied Congress to pass a law that gave the Coast Guard the authority to charge individuals who interfere with the safe operation of a vessel. Stiff fines can be levied depending upon

the peak month for Atlantic hurricanes, that high sea surface temperatures made it conducive to strengthening, and that forecasts had a high degree of uncertainty. Does anything beyond those simple facts really matter that much in the end? I’m just as curious, from a professional standpoint, as anyone to find out what exactly happened and why. But by focusing primarily on all of the particulars surrounding the El Faro’s demise one fails to see the forest for the trees. This is why Mario Vittone wrote his fine article, “We Won’t Learn Anything: What Sank El Faro and What Didn’t,” for gCaptain.com a week after the casualty. Don't be fooled by the hook of the title. Vittone isn’t suggesting that we won’t learn anything at all about the vessel’s loss. His angle is that no matter what we learn about it, most of it won’t be new. It won’t tell us anything we didn’t already know, and it won’t prevent it from ever happening again. Unless, that is, we truly learn to change the way we think about risk assessment and management.

the severity of the infraction. Originally referred to as the “rail jumper” law, many in industry and the Coast Guard were not aware that the law even existed. In reality, the law refers to much more than just rail jumping. It can be applied whenever “a person operating a vessel in a negligent manner or interfering with the safe operation of a vessel so as to endanger life, limb, or property.” (Title 46, United States Code, Section 2302 a) PVA has been making the Coast Guard more aware of the law and encouraging them to use this law to help reduce the number of dangerous situations on U.S. waterways. And it appears that they have been listening. In fact, the Coast Guard used the law to fine five protesters who tried to block passage of the Shell offshore support vessel Fennica in Portland, Ore., in July by hanging off the St. John’s Bridge over the Willamette River as the vessel came out of the shipyard and headed back to Alaska. I have had passengers jump over the rails on my vessel, and I am sure that many of you have had near misses involving recreational boaters on the river. Unfortunately, this is a problem that is growing. Our waterways must be open to all responsible parties, but it is comforting to know that we have a law to protect us if needed. www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2015 • WorkBoat

OSV Day Rates Is there a silver lining? By Bill Pike

he shelf market is all but dead. The deepwater market is faring a bit better, but is in decline and expected to fall further. The workboat fleet has taken a terrific hit in day rates, compounded by a plethora of newbuillds in a falling market. But there are a few bright spots. Crew quality for the boats that are still working will probably improve. The stacking of nearly 200 boats has left a large pool of experienced OSV crewmembers looking for work at any level. So if you need to upgrade your crews, now is the time. One vessel owner told me recently that he had filled an AB spot with an individual who had been a mate for a number of years, and he was glad to get the job. The slowdown is also an excellent

ratio. Big percentage gains were posted by Transocean, Rowan and Trinity Industries. Transocean gained over 22% in October. The company had a good third quarter, reporting adjusted net income of $316 million, or 87 cents a share on $1.6 billion in revenues. Jeremy D. Thigpen, Transocean’s president and CEO, said the results “reflect the strong emphasis we continue to place on operating performance and cost management.” Thigpen told analysts during the company’s Nov. 5 earnings call that he expected challenging conditions for offshore drilling companies in the next 12 to 24 months. “However, our customers remain committed to their offshore properties and the future production that they represent. The currently depressed oil and gas price environment has stymied investment in the near term, but the need for future reserve replacement remains critical.” Hornbeck Offshore Services treaded water during the month. The company announced third-quarter earnings of 21 cents a share, missing estimates by 8 cents. Company president and CEO Todd Hornbeck, said that despite the current down market, he strongly believes a recovery will come. “We also believe that when it comes, it will have a pronounced effect on our core markets, particularly the Gulf of Mexico,” he told analysts during the company’s Oct. 29 earnings call. “The more protracted this downturn lasts, the greater the need will be for our customers to restore their reserve portfolios.”

Inland Insider Say goodbye to AEP

ig business is getting bigger through mergers and acquisitions. Walgreens is seeking to buy Rite Aid, combining two of the three biggest U.S. drugstore owners. With the merger of US Air and American Airlines, nearly nine out of every 10 U.S. commercial flights will be flown by the four largest airlines. The norms for antitrust limits of size and concentration of businesses have shifted significantly. Back in 1984 when U.S. Steel sold Ohio Barge Line to Ingram Barge Company, some thought that this was the tipping point for the brownwater towing sector. Ditto for the subsequent sale of Valley Barge Line to ACBL in 1992.

Insurance Watch Hull insurance covers a lot more than you think

t’s good when I get to explain to a client that they have coverage for things that they never imagined would be covered by their vessel’s hull insurance. (Keep in mind that this is for damage to your own vessel, not the so-called other vessel.) The first coverage under your hull policy is for “negligence of masters, officers and crew or pilots.” Sometimes a vessel is damaged by running her aground, slamming into a dock, hitting a bridge abutment, or for some other reason. This may seem like a simple case of stupidity, but it’s covered. Your vessel is also covered under your vessel’s hull insurance policy for negligent repairs. That is, unless you 18

WB_AAG_LINO.indd 18

These significant acquisitions were not challenged, leading ultimately to more mergers and concentration of barge ownership. There appeared to be no stopping point from the perspective of antitrust. These acquisitions indicated that larger commercial entities such as U.S. Steel that had captive barge line subsidiaries, shifts in integration by these companies would likely lead to divestitures. This played out in the subsequent sales of other barge lines by energy-based owners and conglomerates. The acquisition of AEP River Operations gives ACL a large barge line for the open hopper trades, primarily coal. The barge line’s divestiture from its parent, American Electric Power, was not a surprise. Utilities that previously relied heavily on coal like AEP saw a good fit in backward integration to coal sources through owning their own transportation. However, coal is no

longer the darling of the domestic utility industry and can be competitively sourced by a private barge fleet. Big utilities will follow the major cost driver, which is now gas over By Kevin Horn coal. Consequently, regional utilities such as Duke Energy and Southern Company are buying natural gas pipelines. The days of utilities owning barge lines for coal are over. The coal industry is no longer primarily competitive with itself, but instead with other sources of energy with no ties to barges.

handled the repair yourself. However, I sometimes ask the insurance underwriter to strike the part of the coverage that says negligence of the owner and crew is not covered. If I know the client really well, I’ll ask for that. There’s another sentence buried in the hull policy that says repairs will be paid on a “new for old” basis. This is a good one. It means no depreciation of repairs. Why would the insurance company do that? Because they’re selfish with their money. They don’t want used and possibly easily damaged or failed parts installed. They may end up paying far more on any resultant claim if those parts failed. There is also a clause called “Sue and Labor” in the hull insurance policy. It is the expenses you might incur while trying to save your vessel from going down in an accident. It’s a separate amount of insurance, and it’s payable up to the amount on the ship’s hull insurance policy. Now that's good to know!

Another very good coverage that few know about is “sighting the bottom.” In the event your vessel strikes something below the waterline or runs aground, the insurer has the By Gene right to pull the McKeever vessel out of the water to see what the bottom looks like. This, by the way, is done at no cost to vessel owners. On line 247 of the policy is “vandalism.” It’s not covered unless your agent asks for it. You should tell your agent to ask for it.

Legal Talk Contract phrases you should understand

et’s face it. Contracts are boring. There’s no plot and they read like a confused sea. Here are some common phrases and general information about them to help you the next time you scan a contract. • “Any and all disputes arising herein are subject to arbitration.” This language is pretty clear, but what might not be as clear is that it’s likely exclusive, meaning you may not be able to file a lawsuit and you may be committed to arbitrating any disputes. • “In further consideration of said payment, Releasor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the said Releasee.” This means that the party (Releasor) releasing the other party (Releasee) is obligating itself

to step in the shoes of the Releasee if the Releasee is sued or the language is otherwise triggered. Still confused? It means the party releasing the other party agrees to protect the released party should any future claims be made against the released party. This kind of language can carry a lot of weight and when you encounter it, move forward on a slow bell. • “This Agreement shall be governed and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida.” Maritime contracts often involve parties and issues touching on multiple jurisdictions. This “choice of law language,” when enforced, requires any contract interpretation be undertaken pursuant to the law of a specific forum. In this case, Florida. Contract law can vary from state to state and state contract law can differ from federal maritime law. Make sure you’re willing to give up maritime law before agreeing to such language.

• “Any dispute of whatsoever nature must be brought, if at all, within one year of the cause of action arising.” This John Fulweiler language seeks to limit the time that a lawsuit may be brought, and the courts are not against enforcing this kind of language. In other words, if enforceable, this language will extinguish a cause of action if it’s not brought within the stated period of time. Setting aside issues of enforceability, you should keep this language on the front burner during the period of the contract's performance. This is not language you want to overlook.

NEWS LOG MARITIME SECURITY EXERCISE IN BOSTON HARBOR

NEWS BITTS SAUDI ARABIA TO GET FOUR LCSes IN $11.25 BILLION DEAL

U.S. Coast Guard photo/PA 3 Andrew Barresi

rmed speedboats and boarding parties roamed Boston Harbor Oct. 20 as the Coast Guard and 10 partner agencies trained for detecting and seizing illicit cargo. The exercise focused on dealing with small suspicious vessels under 300 tons and included the Coast Guard’s Virginia-based Maritime Security Response Team, a special operations group skilled in advanced tactical boardings for seizures and hostage rescues.

Stability questions arise in sinking of whale watcher

he whale watching vessel Leviathan II that capsized off British Columbia Oct. 25 killing six passengers was tested for stability and certified years ago after an upper observation deck was added to the boat, officials with Canada’s transportation department said. Investigators said they would make their own stability assessment in the case, which is being closely watched in the whale-watching and tourism boat sector. Government officials indicated they will likely issue safety recommendations to the industry, based on ongoing updates from the investigation, which could take months. In a statement, Transport Canada 22

WB_Newslog_LINO.indd 22

also cautioned that “compliance with safety criteria does not ensure immunity against capsizing.” Investigators with the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) were looking at stability issues, after early findings showed most of the 24 passengers were on one side of the upper deck when the 65' Leviathan II rolled over. “That would have raised the center of gravity, affecting the vessel’s stability,” Marc-Andre’ Poisson, director of marine investigations for the safety board, told reporters. Passengers were crowded at the port side when the Leviathan II took a wave on its starboard quarter and rolled, TSB investigators learned.

n $11.25 billion agreement would get Saudi Arabia four Freedomclass Littoral Combat Ships from Lockheed Martin, the first export deal for the Navy’s brownwater frigate, and a significant step up in the military arms competition between the desert kingdom and rival Iran. The U.S. State Department signed off on the request from Saudi Arabia, clearing the way for a final agreement before the end of the year, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) announced in October. That contract will include ship construction, weapons and other systems and support for four Multimission Surface Combatant (MMSC) ships, variants of the 388'x57'x14' Freedom-class LCS first delivered in 2008 from Marinette Marine Corp., Marinette, Wis. One example of those LCSes is the USS Fort Worth, propelled by Rolls-Royce MT30 36MW gas turbines and FairbanksMorse Colt-Pielstick 16PA6BSTC diesels, driving four Rolls-Royce waterjets for a speed of around 45 knots. Saudi buyers could opt for other power. A DSCA document outlines other specifics to the Saudi deal, like substituting MK75 76mm OTO Melara gun systems in place of the BAE Systems Mk110 57mm deck gun used on earlier ships.

The vessel was built in 1981 as a crewboat for the forest products industry by Riv-Tow Industries, Vancouver, British Columbia. Named the Crown Forest 72-112, it was converted for whale watching in 1996 and the upper observation deck added. Transport Canada approved a stability assessment of the 46-passenger vessel submitted by the operators of Jamie’s Whaling Station, Tofino, British

The Leviathan II capsized off the coast of British Columbia in October.

Columbia, and the boat had passed all of its annual inspections, the agency said. The heavily damaged Leviathan II was refloated days after the accident, and Poisson said TSB investigators would conduct their own stability assessment. Five Britons died in the capsizing and divers searched for a sixth victim, an Australian man. In a statement, Jamie’s Whaling Station director of operations, Corene Inouye, said the company was safety conscious. “Since 1982 our sole focus has been to provide a safe and authentic West Coast experience to visitors from around the world. Aside from conducting regular safety drills and requiring stringent certification for our crew, we have also been diligent in ensuring the safety and seaworthiness of our vessels,” Inouye said. “Jamie’s would never have allowed a single passenger or anyone else to be on the water in a vessel that we were not absolutely confident was safe. ” — Kirk Moore

NEWS BITTS “There could be continued modest pricing pressure in our inland marine transportation market,” CEO David Grzebinski told analysts in late October about the fourth quarter outlook. Also, terminal permitting problems on the West Coast and falling crude prices have “injected some uncertainty” in the market resulting in some customer reluctance to extend term contracts. The Houston-based tank barge operator estimates that the industry has 250-300 barges moving crude oil, “a significant decline from an estimated 550 barges at the peak” of activity, Grzebinski said. “The potential slowing in coastal pricing and the change in spot-term mix would make maintaining older equipment more difficult,” so older vessels might be retired. As often happens, analysts asked about possible acquisitions. And that’s where the upside comes in for Houston-based Kirby, which wouldn’t forecast any deals. However, in terms of pricing, Grzebinski said, “business has gotten tougher … it’s not as much fun as when everything is going up. So conversations have been a little more frequent, a little more constructive.” The issue was raised in the context of American Commercial Lines’ (ACL) recently announced purchase of American Electric Power’s AEP River Operations for $550 million. ACL moves both liquid and dry cargo. The deal “took ACL’s position in the dry cargo fleet up quite a bit. They essentially doubled their dry cargo fleet,” Grzebinski said. “So I think it’s a nice acquisition for ACL.” As for Kirby’s interest in dry cargo, he noted they’ve shied away from it because it’s a more volatile market than liquids. “We never say never, but I don't think we’d pursue a dry cargo acquisition in and of itself, but if we were to buy a competitor’s liquid fleet and they had some dry cargo barges, we may well keep the dry cargo fleet and run it.” And as chairman Joe Pyne reminded analysts, Kirby was built during periods of uncertainty. Some operators think a good period like the recent one will go on forever, “but in fact it’s not 24

… nobody likes earnings that are going the wrong way, perhaps except for me, because I see it as a great opportunity” for consolidation, he said. “We’re going to actually have some good discussions with operators that recognize that the wind doesn’t always blow in one direction.” — Dale K. DuPont

Oil prices to rebound in 2016, analyst says

nyone associated with the offshore oil and gas industry has received a stomach full of bad news over the past 18 months. The price of oil has bogged down in the mid-$40-bbl. range, more than 500 deepwater OSVs remain on order or under construction worldwide, and OSVs are parked in every Gulf of Mexico oil patch waterway. “This industry is both fascinating and frustrating,” analyst Allen Brooks of PPHB told the WorkBoat Strategic Leadership Development Program in Baton Rouge, La., in October. “There is always a lag in our knowledge when it comes to oil discovery.” Brooks was not all doom and gloom. He said oil prices will rebound, but not to where they were when prices fell off the table. “I can see better times for this industry by the second half of next year,” said Brooks. “It’s not going to go back to over $100 a barrel anytime soon. It’s going to be somewhere in the $60 to $70 a barrel range. I think that’s a realistic environment.” Oil companies have too much oil and not enough patience. In a cyclical industry, the upturns never last long enough and the downturns last too long. Oil prices are being manipulated by a number of different sources, but supply and demand is front and center. “Saudis are producing at rates they’ve never produced at before,” said Brooks. “Global oil supply has outrun oil demand.” Brooks said it’s important to take a long term look at the industry. “The world population will grow until 2040 or so and then start to decline,” he said.

$37 BILLION ADDED TO GDP BY SHIPBUILDING AND REPAIR IN 2013

n 2013, the U.S. private shipbuilding and repair industry provided 110,390 direct jobs, $9.2 billion in labor income, and $10.7 billion in gross domestic product to the national economy, according to a recently released report from the Maritime Administration. When direct, indirect and induced impacts are included on a nationwide basis, total economic activity associated with the industry reached almost 400,000 jobs, $25.1 billion of labor income, and $37.3 billion in GDP in 2013, the Marad report said. Released in November, the report, “The Economic Importance of the U.S. Shipbuilding and Repairing Industry,” said the top five states for direct employment in the industry were Virginia, 28,210 jobs or 25.6%; Mississippi, 12,720 jobs or 11.5%; Louisiana, 12,230 or 11.1%; Connecticut, 9,030 or 8.2%; and California, 7,190 jobs or 6.5%. About 63% of all private direct employment in the industry is located in the aforementioned five states.

SAN ANTONIO SEEKS RIVER BARGE DESIGN

“But there are more old people in the world, and old people don’t use as much energy.” While newer products such as LNG are the wave of the future, Brooks said the oil industry has a real image problem that is hurting it now and will continue to be a mounting concern. “The

sels, and barges from Weeks Marine, Cranford, N.J., have been shuttling girders from the Port of Coeymans. The twin span, cable-stayed bridge will carry the New York Thruway across the Tappan Zee, a three-milewide expanse of the Hudson. The span is going up alongside the 60-year-old Governor Malcolm Wilson Bridge. Along with transporting components like girders, pushboats and tugs maneuver pieces of what is a floating construction site on the river, with concrete batch plants on barges and cranes — including the 384'×100'×22' floating derrick barge Left Coast Lifter, originally built in 2009 for the San Franciso-Oakland Bay Bridge eastern span project in California. Now operated by TZC, the crane with its 328' boom is lifting girders and roadway deck sections. After the new bridge is complete, the big crane and others — with their attendant fleet of workboats and barges — will still be working to dismantle the old Tappan Zee bridge.

Cybersecurity

Target Practice? Ports and vessels are vulnerable to cyberattacks.

By Pamela Glass, Washington Correspondent

WB_Focus_Cybersecurity_LINO.indd 28

ybersecurity was a growing issue in 2015, as ports, shipping companies and the federal government began to more seriously assess the risks and take steps to prevent intrusions that could cripple cargo operations and disrupt global trade. The Coast Guard unveiled a national cybersecurity strategy in June, calling it “one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation.” Congress held its first hearing on the topic in October, with one lawmaker warning that, “hackers and even disgruntled employees could breach systems with potentially catastrophic results for the nation’s economy.” And maritime companies and associations are warming up to the issue and its potential threats, devising protocols and training programs.

But progress on cybersecurity in the maritime sector lags behind that of other transportation sectors, most notably aviation, experts say. As a result, there is still much to do in educating private businesses and implementing a government policy that addresses cyberthreats in the nation’s ports, vessels and inland and coastal waterways. Since 9/11, Congress has appropriated $2.4 billion in port security grants to beef up port facilities against potential terror attacks, Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich., chair of the House Homeland Security subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security, said at the October hearing. “As a nation, we have done a fairly good job updating the physical security at ports, but I am concerned that the government has fallen behind when it comes to cybersecurity at ports,” Miller said.

VULNERABLE TARGETS Maritime stakeholders have also been slow to react. An April 2015 survey of 50 of the largest container lines by CyberKeel, a Copenhagen-based maritime consulting firm that specializes in cybersecurity, found that 37% of the companies that use Windows servers hadn’t kept up with the latest Microsoft security patches and were thus vulnerable to hacking. In addition, CyberKeel found that knowledge of cybersecurity “is at a very low level in the maritime industry,” and that many executives believed that digital threats didn’t exist or were theoretical, and delegated them to the IT department. Ports and vessels are vulnerable targets, experts say, because they rely increasingly on automation to streamline their operations. Electronic and computer systems are linked with navigation, propulsion, steering, communications, ballast, safety, environmental

control, electricity and cargo systems that are susceptible to intrusions. At ports, computer systems control machinery that move containers, fill tanks and load and off-load ships. “While information technology systems create benefits, they also introduce potential risks,” Rear Adm.

Paul F. Thomas, assistant commandant for prevention policy at the Coast Guard, said at the House hearing. “Exploitation, misuse or simple failure of information technology systems can cause injury or death, harm the marine environment or disrupt vital trade activity.”

Cybersecurity The biggest threat for ship operations is if hackers break down radio frequencies and jam GPS signals coming from satellites. This could knock vessels off track and into dangerous situations, and prevent updates to electronic chart display and information systems. Jammers, which are easily and cheaply bought on the Internet and can be operated by battery or plugged into cigarette lighters, can shut down ports and offshore areas, as well as cellphone reception and satellite traffic. Automated information systems (AIS) can also be easily penetrated with cheap devices that cost less than $200. Such intrusions can cause changes to a ship’s course, cargo, speed and name, trigger false collision warning alerts and send false weather information. A cyberbreach on ships carrying dangerous cargo such as liquefied natural gas is a particular concern and could cause the release of harmful chemi-

cals. The offshore oil and gas industry is also vulnerable because it relies on information technology systems for things like dynamic positioning and real-time monitoring of exploration and production activity. While this might seem hypothetical, there have been several real incidents of cybercrime. In 2014, a major U.S. port suffered a system disruption that shut down a significant number of ship-to-shore cranes for several hours. And at the Port of Antwerp, the second largest seaport in Europe, drug smugglers tried to hack into cargo tracking systems to rearrange containers and hide drugs. Although workboats operate in an environment that is less vulnerable to the damaging effects of breakdowns caused by cyberattacks on maritime radio frequencies and GPS jamming, an incident could put these vessels in challenging situations, said Ray Ivie, engineering and integration services

group president at LGS Innovations, Herndon, Va., which provides network and communications systems. “Workboats operate closer to hazards, other ships and to the coast, so if they were getting fake navigation signals and had to make a turn, they could have less room to correct than an oceangoing vessel would on the open sea,” said Ivie, a former Navy officer. Threats come from terror groups, nation-states, criminal organizations, hackers and disgruntled employees, and include hacking, jamming, phishing, spoofing, malicious programs and denial of service to communication networks. Some problems arise from employee mistakes, such as inserting a USB device that is infected with malware or clicking on an email attachment from unknown sources.

Cybersecurity reluctance” in the maritime industry to share information about cybersecurity issues, according to Randy D. Parsons, director of security services at the Port of Long Beach, Calif. “To acknowledge that a cyberevent has taken place could potentially diminish business reputation and public trust. Maritime stakeholders have deemed much of their information as proprietary to the degree that dissemination could create business disadvantages,” Parsons told House members at the hearing. “Left to its own devices, the business world seems not to be motivated to take the substantial actions necessary to address these concerns in a strategic and collaborative manner. Businesses are reluctant to spend money on efforts that are not revenue generating.” Companies might not be sharing information, but some have taken steps to protect their assets. At Long Beach, for example, the port has developed

protocols to prevent and deal with an incident. This includes building redundancy into communication systems, developing backup processes to make sure the port can remain open during an incident, and training response teams, Parsons said. The port has invested hundreds of millions to upgrade security in the last decade with a combination of high-tech “domain-awareness” systems and highly trained personnel. Among inland waterways operators, Kirby Corp. says that an intrusion could cripple its critical information systems, compromise business operations, jeopardize confidentiality of customers and employees, and expose the company to increased operating expenses and legal action. Houston-based Kirby has implemented emergency recovery processes, installed virus protection software, intrusion detection systems and conduct annual attack and penetration audits to mitigate risks, according to a 2014 SEC filing.

There’s more awareness and a far greater sense of the seriousness of the threat and that industry and the government must work together. One area of collaboration is to clarify what constitutes a cyberbreach, and to which government entity it should be reported. Conflicting jurisdiction among agencies overseeing cyberissues has confused many maritime stakeholders. But one thing is clear: Future policies won’t be a one-size-fits-all approach. “Rather than mandate a specific technical solution, the Coast Guard believes that facility and vessel operators should identify and evaluate the vulnerabilities and consequences associated with their cybersystems, and put in place an appropriate suite of mitigating measures,” Rear Adm. Thomas said. “This approach has served the industry and public well in conventional safety and security risks. Our challenge is to devise a methodology suited to the nuances of cyber risk.”

Q&A

Ice Man

George Pellissier file phot

Capt. Pellissier: Down south we have to do the resupply of McMurdo (Science Station) every year – our largest supply station there. We might have to close the South Pole station, and that would set science back many years. The north is opening up more and more. You see more traffic trying to go through the Northwest Passage and more tourism. Another reason for us is strategic – all those resources all claimed by multiple countries. We have a tiny little presence up there compared to the other countries. We should make the investment. Just to start, you need a couple of heavy icebreakers.

Capt. George Pellissier Interviewed by Dale K. DuPont, Correspondent

Capt. George Pellissier assumed command of the Coast Guard icebreakers Polar Sea and Polar Star in 2011. The Polar Sea was put on inactive status in 2010, leaving the Polar Star as the Coast Guard’s only active heavy-duty icebreaker. Pellissier led the Polar Star in Operation Deep Freeze 2014, the first time in six years a U.S. icebreaker was involved in resupply efforts of McMurdo Science Station, Antarctica. A graduate of the Coast Guard Academy, Pellissier retired in 2014 after 27 years in the Coast Guard. WorkBoat: The Coast Guard’s aging icebreaking fleet recently received a lot of attention from Congress and the White House. How valuable are the icebreakers and their missions? What do we stand to lose if we don’t build new ones?

WB_Focus_Polarstar_LINO.indd 34

WB: The Polar Star and Polar Sea were built in the mid-1970s. The Polar Star was out of service for seven years and underwent a three-year $90 million overhaul before being reactivated in 2013. Congressional testimony earlier this year noted that to keep her going the Coast Guard has had to buy some parts online because they are no longer manufactured and has taken some parts off the Polar Sea. What condition is the Polar Star in? Pellissier: She needs some work. The refit overhauled her engines and did a fair bit of mechanical fixes. The biggest thing they need to deal with now is the electrical side. I felt safe on her. She’s a very capable ship, and she has multiple redundancies. If something went wrong, we could get the mission done. She was maintenance intensive, but she’s still a viable ship for years to come. She does need some TLC. The hull’s in great shape, but, yes, there’s more work that needs to be done. When we laid up the Polar Sea, we took some of those parts off – not a lot. It gets harder and harder to find parts. WB: The Russians have 40 icebreakers with another 11 planned or under construction. What advantages do they have over us, and what can they do that we can’t? Capt. Pellissier: Just the sheer quantity of icebreakers they have gives them a lot more flexibility and a lot more redundancy. The U.S. still has the most powerful non-nuclear icebreaker. We don’t have a lot of depth. You look at all of the resources underneath the Arctic Ocean, and the country that has the wherewithal to exploit them will be able to. www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2015 • WorkBoat

Bruce Buls

WB: What were your most challenging missions as captain of the Polar Star? Capt. Pellissier: The most challenging was finishing up the overhaul and getting through sea trials and the trip to Antarctica. There were multiple different companies that had a piece of the pie. Everything had to fit together. Once in the midst of Puget Sound our fancy new propulsion system decided it no longer wanted to play. It was early morning and there was a fair bit of traffic all around. We were able to reset everything very quickly. New control systems had to work with 40-year-old systems. Some of the alarms would shut systems down.

The Polar Star underwent a major overhaul at Vigor Industrial shipyard in Seattle.

The Polar Star in Antarctica.

WB_Focus_Polarstar_LINO.indd 36

Capt. Pellissier: You’re down there in summer. It was actually a fairly light ice year. We could go to Marble Point through 8'-12' of ice. I’ve seen it up to 20'-24'. If the ice is thin enough (8'), you can go 6-8 knots and the pressure of the icebreaker cracks it out in front of you. When it gets thicker, you do backing and ramming. There are days you’re fighting for every foot. On paper, the Polar Star can break 21'. We’ve broken up to 23'-24'. When you do go outside, it’s not that bad. I was e-mailing my parents in Massachusetts, and it was colder there than Antarctica. On the trip to Marble Point, the propeller would take a little bit of a beating. Every now and then there’s a dent or two in the hull, but nothing to worry about. I’ve spent more than half my career in icebreakers – on the Great Lakes, too. The job is challenging. It always keeps you engaged. You get to see parts of the planet few get to see.

Cladding-Hearn Shipbuilding

Gladding-Hearn delivers pilot boat to Tampa Bay

New pilot boat features dual Volvo Penta propulsion pods.

n late September, Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Somerset, Mass., delivered the Manatee, a 52.7'×16.8'×4.5' pilot boat, to the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Pilots Association. “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, New Bedford, Mass., was built in 2003. Fifteen have been built since then. They all are traditional propellerdriven boats. 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 were saving fuel, going faster, and greater comfort,” said Duclos. “This boat addresses all three.” That’s the Manatee and the biggest difference between it and earlier pilot boats is the dual Volvo Penta IPS 650MC propulsion pods. This is nothing like dragging a traditional shaft, propeller and rudder through the water. The IPS pod system uses forward facing, counter rotating propellers. “It’s more efficient. It burns about 25 to 28 percent less fuel than conventional propeller drives,” said Duclos. The hull shape has slightly different lines to accommodate

WB_OTW_LINO.indd 38

the pods. Visually the biggest difference would be in the placement of the wheelhouse. “Because of the IPS system, we were able to move the whole superstructure and where the pilots are seated further aft and still have a clear deck hatch over the machinery,” said Duclos. Now the pilots, sitting in any one of five Stidd seats, are slightly aft of the boat’s center of gravity, improving comfort. “This is where you want to be.” Moving the superstructure aft also created a larger foredeck, which benefits pilots when boarding and leaving a ship. A Humphree Interceptor automatic trim tab optimization system also provides a comfort advantage for the pilots. “You want different trim tab settings at different speeds, and when going up wind and down wind,” said Duclos. The Humphree trim tabs automatically optimize the trim of a boat at a given speed, though the automatic feature can be overridden to manually control the trim tabs. Besides comfort, the fuel savings provided by the Humphree Interceptor system is a bonus. “You can pay for the system in a couple of years.” The pilots need for “going faster” was met by hooking each pod up to a pair of 503-hp Volvo Penta D11 diesels.

On TheWays and remove an 8,800' floating ice boom, consisting of steel pontoons linked together and anchored to the river bottom at Lake Erie’s outlet to the Niagara River. Bill Jordan, senior naval architect at Bristol Harbor Group, said designers sought to strike “a balance that fulfills the demands of all the competing criteria,” and be environmentally friendly. “The design is tailored to meet the specific operational needs of the New York Power Authority to suit their unique service and deck operations, while satisfying proposed Coast Guard Subchapter M systems, machinery and stability requirements within a very compact package,” Jordan said. The tug is part of a $4.9 million twotug contract. (The costs will be equally shared with OPG.) The second tug, the Breaker II, will have the same design but will incorporate changes based on what NYPA crews experience with the first tug this winter. It is due for a 2017

delivery. Propulsion for the new tug comes from a pair of Caterpillar C18 engines each producing 470 hp at 1,800 rpm. The engines turn Michigan Wheel 46"×28" 4-bladed nibral propellers through Twin Disc MGX-5135SC gears. The package gives the tug a rated speed of 6 knots. There is a Simrad electronics suite in the pilothouse and the tug has Jastram controls. 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. “We also incorporated American Bureau of Shipping reinforcement requirements for service in seasonal ice, maximized visibility while complying with a restrictive air draft limitation and incorporated details to ensure a high degree of reliability,” said Jordan. The new tugs have more horsepower, bollard pull and equipment handling capabilities than existing vessels in the

NYPA fleet. “The new boats have a markedly modern profile, with the pilothouse 15' above the waterline for better visibility while maneuvering, compared to decklevel helms on the old vessels.” The launch of the Daniel Joncaire II was followed by a keel laying ceremony for one of Great Lakes’ 74'×30'×11'6" HandySize-class 3,400 hp twin screw tugs, to be built for harbor towing operations in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala. — Kirk Moore

The new vessel will be capable of conducting fisheries assessments of greater capacity in deeper waters and with a larger science complement than the current research vessel. Cummins QSK-19A, Tier 3 engines will provide the boat’s main propulsion.

VT Halter Marine Inc. launched two tugs recently at its Moss Point Marine facility in Escatawpa, Miss. On Oct. 29, the shipyard launched the 130'×38'×22' Morton S. Bouchard Jr., a 6,000-hp articulated tug-barge tug. The tug is part of a two-vessel contract awarded in August 2014. Both tugs will be equipped with Intercon coupler systems. Delivery of the Morton S. Bouchard Jr. and Frederick E. Bouchard are expected in January 2016 and May 2016 respectively. On Sept. 15, VT Halter

Activity offshore continues to decline as the oil and gas slump lingers.

NEWS STORIES OF 2015

11/5/15 10:56 AM

independents have cut capital spending budgets to the bone because of plummeting revenues. Chevron, for example, posted third-quarter earnings of $2 billion, or $1.09 per share, down from $5.6 billion, or $2.95 per share, a year earlier. “Third-quarter earnings were down substantially from a year ago,” Chevron Chairman and CEO John Watson said in a statement. “While downstream earnings remained strong, lower overall earnings reflected weaker market prices for both crude oil and natural gas, which depressed upstream profitability. We are focused on improving results by changing outcomes within our control.” Watson said the company expects capital and exploratory expenditures for 2016 to be $25 billion to $28 billion, roughly 25% lower than this year’s budget. “We expect further reductions in spending for 2017 and 2018, to the $20 to $24 billion range,” he continued. With the spending cuts, Chevron anticipates shedding 6,000 to 7,000 jobs. Royal Dutch Shell did not suffer as badly as Chevron but also saw declining revenues. As a result, the company has lowered its 2015 capital investment to $30 billion, a $7 billion drop from last year. ConocoPhillips had a similar performance. Second-quarter revenue fell from $2 billion in 2014 to $81 million in 2015. The company originally budgeted $16.5 billion for capital expen-

sually, the numbers say it all. According to oil and gas recruiters Swift Worldwide Resources, the numbers for the oil and gas industry slump look like this: • 200,200: Total oil-related jobs lost worldwide. • 10,000: Contractors laid off in the U.S. and elsewhere but not listed in any company announcements. • 25% to 35%: Estimated staff cutbacks at major oil and gas operators (includes early retirements), most of which have not been made public. These people are gone because activity, particularly offshore, is in the tank. Other figures are equally distressing. As of Oct. 30, the Baker Hughes rig count found 32 rigs working in the Gulf of Mexico, down from 51 a year earlier, a drop of nearly 40%. Exploratory drilling has virtually ceased in light of low oil prices and lower cost development of onshore shale reserves. The reduction in exploratory drilling does not bode well for the future of the U.S. Gulf, as fewer discoveries will shrink the inventory of development wells that have to be drilled. With many describing this as the worst offshore market since the 1980s, there is a collective prayer for relief in the oil and gas industry, and in the workboat and other service sectors. Unfortunately, industry experts do not expect any relief soon. Some see a potential upturn in 2017, others as late as 2019 or 2020. Until then, things could get even more ugly. Matt Rigdon, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Jackson Offshore Operators, New Orleans, said he’s heard some talk among industry pundits of “a further 12% decline in rig activity” before stabilization and a recovery begins. The actions of the oil and gas industry give some credence to those estimates. Almost to a man, major oil and gas companies and smaller

ditures in 2015. By the second quarter, that figure had fallen to $11 billion, with much of the spending cuts falling on deepwater. The capital spending cuts have killed shallow water activity and will further curtail deepwater activity and negatively impact the deepwater market for at least the next couple of years, said Richard Sanchez, lead marine market analyst for IHS Petrodata, Houston. During this period, the workboat industry will remain, as Sanchez put it, in a “protective phase.” Activity in shallow water has collapsed. “There are currently seven to nine jackups actively working in shallow waters, mainly on workovers and production maintenance,” Sanchez said. This is affecting offshore service vessels. For platform supply vessels below 3,000 DWT that are generally deployed on the shelf, only 55 of the 225 available are working, leaving 170 stacked or relocated to other markets. The 2,000- to 2,999-DWT class has been hardest hit, falling from a 95% utilization rate last year to 59% this year. Larger vessels have replaced much of the shallow-water fleet under 180 feet. “Day rates in some shallow-water vessels have fallen to $5,000 to $6,000 per day,” Sanchez noted, “a range uncomfortably close to breakeven.” Peter Romero, operations manager at Aries Marine Corp., Lafayette, La., echoed those figures, noting that the

company’s 220' fleet is fetching $6,000 to $12,000 a day for DP-1, depending on the contract, and $7,000 to $14,000 for DP-2. The liftboat market has been harder hit according to Romero. Of the company’s 16 liftboats, 10 are stacked. The dip in the rig count combined with the oversupply of large PSVs recently built to satisfy the demand of the oil and gas industry for larger, highspecification boats for the deepwater market, has been a double whammy.

Still, deepwater vessels are faring better, for the time being. Utilization rates are higher, with the largest class (5,000 DWT and up) of marketed deepwater PSVs still sitting at close to 100%. But day rates in all deepwater PSV classes fell significantly in 2015. Utilization of smaller deepwater water classes have fallen an average 25% while the largest class has experienced a 15% decline. Almost all PSV operators have one

to three boats currently available for contract, according to Sanchez. The nature of those contracts has changed also. Only three of Aries Marine’s eight working PSVs are on long-term contracts, Romero noted. The rest are working on spot contracts. So far, Jackson Offshore has been one of the few exceptions. The company currently enjoys a 100% utilization rate on their fleet of seven deepwater boats, according to Rigdon, a result of long-term, fixed-margin contracts. He said slight reductions in day rates have been offset by reductions in costs. — Bill Pike

U.S. ARCTIC EXPLORATION SHELVED FOR NOW

oyal Dutch Shell’s expensive foray into offshore Arctic exploration came to an abrupt end in late September when it threw in the towel “for the foreseeable future,” the company said. After finally drilling down 6,800' in 150' of water at its Burger J well in the Chukchi Sea, Shell found a dry hole into which they had been pouring money. In fact, this one well has cost the company a reported $7 billion over the past decade. Shell’s third-quarter earnings report, released on Oct. 29, showed a loss of $7.4 billion, $2.6 billion of which is charged to the Alaska operations this year. Despite a growing pushback from environmentalists, a more stringent set of regulations from the Interior Department’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and a market where oil was selling for less than $50 a barrel, the company resumed Arctic exploration in 2015 after skipping summer drilling seasons in 2013 and 2014 in the aftermath of the Kulluk grounding at the end of 2012. That debacle, plus serious problems with its other rig, the drillship Noble Explorer, instigated a revised set of regulations and focused even more public attention on Shell’s Arctic ambitions. For 2015, Shell leased the Polar www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2015 • WorkBoat

and ripped a substantial gash in its hull, there was a “here-we-go-again” reaction by both the public and the industry. The Fennica then ran all the way down to Vigor’s Portland, Ore., shipyard for repairs, although it could probably have been handled in Dutch Harbor. By going to Portland, the Fennica offered environmental activists another opportunity to stage demonstrations, including individuals hanging from a bridge to impede the vessel’s departure.

The goal was to complete two top holes dug in 2012 and to finally tap into the billions of barrels believed to be locked up beneath the Arctic Ocean.

Shell halted Arctic exploration activity in September.

Since Shell’s withdrawal, the Interior Department announced the cancellation of two potential Arctic offshore lease sales scheduled under the current five-year offshore leasing program, which ends in 2017. BSEE also denied requests from Shell and Statoil for lease suspensions, which would have extended their 10-year Arctic leases. With Shell’s departure from the Alaska Arctic, the only other noteworthy offshore activity in the far north is being done in Norwegian waters, where the Goliat, the world’s largest (65,000 tons) cylindrical offshore production and storage rig, has been anchored in place and was scheduled to begin production before the end of 2015. That project, which is a partnership of Norway’s Statoil and Italy’s Eni, has also been plagued with delays and cost overruns. — Bruce Buls

Operations for $550 million. AEP has a fleet of 58 towboats and 2,269 barges and 1,090 employees. Chesterfield, Mo.-based AEP River Operations earned $49 million in 2014 compared to $12 million in 2013. “It’s now a fundamentally bigger company with bigger market share and bigger value,” said Brent Dibner, president, Dibner Maritime Associates, a Chestnut Hill, Mass., industry management consulting firm. Dibner has worked with ACL on a number of projects over the years and knows the

company well. “We now see ACL once again being reborn. Ingram [Barge] and ACL are effectively solidifying the dry cargo market. These are really well run companies.” The sale is expected to close before the end of the year. “I suspect that AEP wanted to get out of the barge business and concentrate on its core utilities business,” said Dibner. “Essentially, ACL has bought a company that was its rival. You’re seeing the consolidation of the dry [cargo] arena.” Some of the other workboat industry

what any jurisdiction in the United States has faced in generations.” The problems are due in part to “decades of ill-advised public policy – both in San Juan and in Washington,” she said. The government sanctioned Working Group for the Fiscal and Economic Recovery of Puerto Rico, on which she serves, recommended a number of fixes. Among them is to “exempt Puerto Rico from the Jones Act to reduce costs and improve the ease of doing business.” The law — Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 — requires cargo moved from one U.S. port to another be on vessels that are U.S. built, owned and crewed. One possible fix for the commonwealth is state-like treatment under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which would require congressional approval. But Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said Chapter 9 alone wouldn’t solve Puerto Rico’s problems. However, he said, “we should consider exempting Puerto Rico from the Jones Act, which limits competition and raises the cost of living for island residents.” The law’s supporters say the Jones Act is not to blame for high prices, and there’s no guarantee shipping rates would fall if it were changed.

Some are calling for exempting Puerto Rico from the Jones Act.

Another stab at changing the law was beaten back by an appeals court, which rejected Hawaii residents’ claim that it causes them “unconscionable, inequitable harm and inflated prices.” They wanted the act invalidated for interstate commerce involving Hawaii. A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed claims that the Jones Act amounts to an unlawful restraint of trade in violation of the Constitution’s commerce clause. And they said the plaintiffs didn’t show that shipping companies would lower their prices if the law were changed. The appeals court later denied the challengers’ request for a rehearing. “The Jones Act is safe. It’s very widely supported,” said Charlie Papavizas, a partner at Winston & Strawn and a Jones Act expert. “There’s no organized opposition. There’s sniping.” The most likely place for a serious

threat is an international trade agreement. “It’s all done behind closed doors. Then a deal is cut. By necessity, they have to make tradeoffs,” he said. “No industry is going to volunteer to let a foreigner into their market. And in that environment, the Jones Act is trade bait.” Tom Allegretti, chairman of the American Maritime Partnership and CEO of the American Waterways Operators (AWO), agreed that the law isn’t going away anytime soon. “Simply put, I do not believe that Congress is going to pass a law that outsources thousands of U.S. jobs and undermines national, economic and homeland security. That’s what repealing the Jones Act would do,” he said at a recent Jones Act conference. He also suggested that an anti-Jones Act amendment would doom any legislative aid package for Puerto Rico.

The Polar Star is the only heavy-duty U.S. icebreaker.

The El Faro tragedy has drawn comments about the age of the Jones Act fleet. The 40-year-old TOTE Maritime ro/ro containership and her crew of 33 was lost Oct. 1 in Hurricane Joaquin as it headed from Jacksonville, Fla., to Puerto Rico. The Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) in October shot back sharply at what it called “unfounded claims purporting a casual link between the Jones Act” and the El Faro sinking. — Dale K. DuPont

NEW ICEBREAKERS MAY FINALLY COME

n Washington, D.C., a bipartisan consensus to construct a new generation of Coast Guard heavy icebreakers began emerging in late summer. Senators Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, introduced the Icebreaker Recapitalization Act, which would authorize the U.S. Navy to construct up to six heavy icebreakers – designed and operated by the Coast Guard under its sole responsibility for icebreaking missions in the polar seas. For all their public squabbling over climate change and Arctic oil explora64

tion, both Republican and Democratic lawmakers now agree that the U.S. needs to step up its game in the far north as summer ice extent recedes. The U.S. is down to two operational icebreakers: the heavy channel-busting 399'×83' vessel Polar Star, and the medium-duty, 420'×82' Healy, designed primarily for solo scientific research. Scientists say the Arctic is warming faster relative to any other region on earth, and other nations are building ships in hopes of opening maritime routes and natural resources. Russia has 40 icebreakers in service and 11 more on the way. That helped get the attention of Congress. “As an Arctic nation, America must be a global leader towards an Arctic future as this dynamic region opens up to new opportunities. By contrast, countries from Russia to Canada to China to even India see the worth and importance in investing in icebreakers,” Murkowski said when the icebreaker bill was introduced. Four years ago, a Coast Guard study forecast it would need six heavy-duty and four medium icebreakers to meet the statutory and mission requirements of the Coast Guard and the Navy. Top Coast Guard officers and analysts from the General Accounting Office reinforced those warnings with Congres-

sional testimony in spring 2015. GAO officials predicted the Coast Guard would need at least a three-and-three combination of heavy and medium icebreakers to do its jobs in the Arctic and Antarctic seas. The mid-1970s-vintage Polar Star, built by Lockheed Shipbuilding in Seattle, was refitted in 2013 and is back in service, but Coast Guard engineers must scrounge parts to keep it running. Parts have been taken off

A decision should be made soon whether to refit it or scrap it, and start building the first of the new ships, Gary Rasicot, the Coast Guard’s director of marine transportation systems, told members of Congress in July.

generators and switchboard, Rasicot told the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Marine Transportation. “We need to think about recapitalizing the icebreaker fleet as opposed to using 40-year-old ships,” he said. When President Obama visited Alaska in September and called for speeding up plans for new icebreakers and building the first by 2020, Huntington Ingalls Industries and General Dynamics NASSCO immediately expressed interest. Huntington Ingalls delivered the last icebreaker, Healy, in 1999, and responded to a request from the Coast Guard earlier in 2015 for information about designing and building new ships. Yet the Obama administration shares fault for dithering over new icebreakers, the Congressional Research Service noted in an October report. The administration’s own budget proposals dropped a five-year funding plan for the first new ship from $860 million, to $230 million, and then $166 million since 2013, the report said. The CRS report reinforced warnings from the Coast Guard and GAO: “Unless the service life of Polar Star is further extended (or unless Polar Sea is repaired and returned to service), there will be a period of perhaps two to six years during which the United States will have no operational heavy polar icebreakers.” — Kirk Moore

BP TO PAY RECORD FINE FOR RECORD OIL SPILL

record oil spill has yielded a record claims settlement. BP agreed this year to pay about $20 billion to the U.S. government and five Gulf Coast states over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.

settlement with a single entity in U.S. history. The payments, to be made over 18 years, include a civil penalty of $5.5 billion to the U.S. under the Clean Water Act (CWA); $7.1 billion to the U.S. and Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas for natural resource damages under the Oil Pollution Act; and $4.9 billion to settle the states’ economic and other claims. “Once approved by the court, this agreement will launch one of the largest environmental restoration efforts the world has ever seen,” U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. “Taken as a whole, this resolution is a strong and fitting response. BP is receiving the punishment it deserves, while also providing critical compensation for the injuries it caused to the environment and the economy of the Gulf region.” “Today we are another step closer to finalizing the settlement we announced on July 2, fulfilling our commitment to help restore the Gulf economy and environment,” BP said in an e-mailed statement. In Florida, “folks who are responsible for that money are intent on putting it in the right place,” said Pam Anderson, who with her husband Ken, operates ecotours from Capt. Anderson’s Marina in Panama City Beach.

U.S. Coast Guard

A judge last year found BP guilty of gross negligence and willful misconduct in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon accident.

A healthier bay and gulf will help everyone, said Anderson, who sits on the state’s Gulf Consortium, which will allocate some of the funds. The settlement ends years of litigation that included a key ruling by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in January on the amount of oil spilled. He determined the spill unleashed 3.19 million bbl. of oil, which would have meant a fine of $13.7 billion. The government claimed a discharge of 4.19 million bbl., which would have meant a fine of about $18 billion. BP’s estimate was 2.45 million bbl., court documents show. The court still must approve the final agreement, which was open to public comment until early December. — D.K. DuPont

COAL CONTINUES TO LOSE GROUND TO NATURAL GAS

his past April the share of natural gas used in electricity generation surpassed that of coal. It was for just one month, but a first since the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) started collecting the data in 1973, Ryan Kelley, coportfolio manager of the Hennessy Gas Utility Fund, said in highlighting the statistic. Last year, coal accounted for about 40% of electricity generation and natural gas 26%, he said. That marked a significant shift from 10 years ago, when coal was 51% and gas 16%. Then July became the second month

he catastrophic Oct. 1 loss of the El Faro and its crew of 33 in Hurricane Joaquin happened just weeks before the 40-year-old steamship was to be replaced by owner TOTE Maritime with a state-of-the-art, liquefied natural gas-fueled containership. The sinking near the Bahamas could set back TOTE’s plan to convert other ships and establish an LNG infrastructure in its Pacific Northwest operations. There was an element of tragic irony in that the El Faro was already scheduled for replacement on TOTE’s Sea Star Line Puerto Rico route by the newly delivered 764' Isla Bella, the first of two Marlin-class LNG-powered containerships built for TOTE at General Dynamics NASSCO shipyard in San Diego. The National Transportation Safety Board contracted with the U.S. Navy to locate the El Faro, document the wreckage and debris field, and recover the voyage data recorder (VDR). A Navy deep salvage team and contractors searched a 100-square mile area off the Bahamas and used side scan sonar to pinpoint where the 790'×95' ro/ro containership went down enroute from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Navy’s 226', 7,200-hp tug Apache carried contractors and a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for recovering the VDR from the El Faro’s bridge deck. The Navy found the El Faro over the Halloween weekend, but as of Nov. 4, had not recovered the ship’s black box or VDR. If recovered, the recorder could help investigators piece together the El Faro’s final hours. — K. Moore

LOW OIL PRICES PUT LNG ON HOLD

NG is still seen as having several things going for it as a marine fuel: a plentiful supply, a low emissions footprint and seemingly a low cost when compared to diesel fuel. A year ago, it appeared LNG was ready to breakout in the workboat market, and this year looked like some companies were ready to have LNGfueled tugs built. But for now, LNG has made more inroads with larger vessels. TOTE Maritime launched the 764' containership Isla Bella this past April at General Dynamics NASSCO in San Diego. It was the first U.S.-flagged commercial ship using LNG. At the end of August, the Perla del Caribe, the second of the Marlin-class vessels, was launched at NASSCO. The boats will operate between Jacksonville, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico. They have MAN ME-GI dual-fuel engines that will operate primarily on LNG but can burn diesel. The use of LNG fuel should reduce NOx emissions by 98%, SOx by 97%, carbon dioxide by 72% and particulate matter by 60% in the Puerto Rico trade, according to TOTE officials. Crowley Maritime has two 219.5'×32.2' ConRo (combination container and roll-on/roll-off) LNG vessels on order. VT Halter Marine in Pascagoula, Miss., is building the vessels with delivery dates in 2017. Things aren’t as good for workboats. With one exception, the use of LNG fuel for tugs seems to be on hold. Why? Start with $47.90, the price for a barrel of WTI crude oil on Nov. 4. Jensen Maritime, Seattle, was talking with a client about a 130' to 140' ATB to be fueled with LNG, but, said Jensen’s Jonathan Parrot, “they aren’t interested right now.” He attributes that to “oil prices that are so low and LNG prices are so comparable.

not a big push [for LNG].” A possible escort tug project fueled with LNG that was to be built at Patti Marine Enterprises in Pensacola, Fla., but was switched to conventional diesel power earlier this year. Patti’s project manager, Ashley Stone, figured it had to have been because of oil’s low price. Does that mean that no LNG-fuled tug will be built? Bob Hill, president of Ocean Tug & Barge Engineering in Milford, Mass., said, “All my customers want oil — except for one.” For that one customer, OTB&E is designing a 5,000-hp ATB. LNG is a logical choice for this customer, as the barge will fuel the ATB. “They will be working off the cargo they are pushing,” said Hill. The ATB’s design is in the preliminary stages.

U.S. WIND ENERGY MOVES FORWARD

ffshore wind energy took a major step forward in 2015, when the foundation of what is expected to be the first commercial offshore wind farm in the U.S. was installed this summer off the coast of Rhode Island. The Block Island Wind Farm will eventually include five turbines that will produce 30 megawatts (MW) of generation capacity to serve Block Island and southern Rhode Island. It is expected to be completed in 2016. Laying the first foundation was a significant milestone in legitimizing wind power as an energy source and encouraging future projects across the country. It is also an important development for workboats, shipbuilders and coastal

ports, which stand to gain from wind farm construction and operation and have been looking for signs that wind energy will move forward. The Rhode Island wind farm has already put tugs and barges to work and provided new jobs for shipyards. Most notably, Blount Boats Inc., Warren, R.I., landed a multimillion contract to build the first U.S.-flagged wind farm vessel. Construction began in August on the 69' aluminum catamaran crew transfer vessel, which will service the Rhode Island project. And there’s much more work to come, once the project and about 20 other proposed wind farm projects get rolling. Studies indicate that workboats, tugs, rigs, barges and cable-laying vessels — many designed specifically for offshore wind — will be in demand as this nascent energy sector ramps up. In the past year, the U.S. wind energy industry experienced some notable advancements in offshore projects.

Center for Marine Training and Safety

Setbacks also occurred, as a few proposed projects hit snags over financial, political and legal issues. There are currently 21 U.S. offshore wind projects in various stages of development that represent 15,650 MW of electricity, according to the Offshore Wind Technology Market Report published in June by the DOE’s National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL). “Although there are still no operating offshore wind projects in the United States, global and national trends are setting the stage for the launch of a domestic industry over the next few years,” the report said. The Bureau of Energy Management (BOEM) has been particularly active in wind energy development this year. The agency completed lease auctions in Maryland and Massachusetts, identified offshore energy areas in North Carolina and New Jersey and looked at the potential off South Carolina and New York. The agency issued a research

lease for a proposal off Virginia, and said it had qualified about a dozen prospective bidders for a November lease auction off New Jersey. State and federal governments also announced policy shifts this year to favor wind energy. Oregon is financing a floating turbine demonstration project in the Pacific, and five counties in Ohio and Pennsylvania are looking to develop offshore projects in the Lake Erie region. In September, the White House held its first summit on offshore wind and included it as part of President Obama’s climate agenda. The administration also issued a Clean Power Plan in August to increase national demand for renewables, including wind energy. U.S. offshore wind continues to face many challenges, however. These include the high price of producing wind power, which carries high production costs that are influenced by the price of competing energy, long wait times for

federal permits, and weak support from state legislators, utilities, regulators and others. The U.S. is also hampered by local opposition, fluctuating government subsidies, and the lack of specialized suppliers and expertise. For the workboat sector, offshore wind is both positive and negative. While wind farm projects offer new business opportunities for shipbuilders and vessel operators, it also creates greater competition for space in the nation’s coastal and marine environment. Navigation safety is also a concern, especially as multiple offshore wind

energy areas develop near heavily trafficked shipping areas along the Atlantic coast, according to Jennifer Carpenter, executive vice president at American Waterways Operators (AWO). In the summer issue of the Coast Guard’s Proceedings magazine, she said that if offshore wind operations “aren’t properly sited outside traditional shipping lanes, they could eliminate critical near-shore navigation corridors and force vessels to transit farther offshore where inclement weather can make navigation less safe.” — Pamela Glass

its shallow draft makes the boat ideal for moving the Smith Brothers’ rental barge fleet in Chesapeake Bay. Power is supplied by twin John Deere 6125 engines each rated 341 hp at 1,800 rpm turning 40"×42" Kaplan props in Custom Nozzle Fabricators nozzles through ZF 325W marine gears with 3.5:1 ratios. During installation, the engines were converted to air starters. The Capt Kenneth features a fire control station at the entrance to the engine room designed by marine electrician Michael Giannotti. The clearly marked instructions panel allows anyone to shut down the engines, deploy fire suppression agents and starve the engine room of air. Kobelt supplied fly-by-wire engine controls and steering systems. Nabrico provided DF-156 hydraulic-electric 22ton face-wire winches. The use of electric over hydraulic allows the motors to be mounted below decks minimizing

corrosion. Throughout the building process, Smith Brothers worked closely with U.S. Coast Guard inspectors to be certain the boat will be compliant with Subchapter M regulations. Coast Guard Sector Baltimore made numerous courtesy inspections throughout the building process.

2015 BOATBUILDING REVIEW

n late 2014, David Evans and Associates Inc.’s Marine Services Division commissioned its new, customized 82' hydrographic survey vessel in Gulfport, Miss. The Blake was built at Geo Shipyard, New Iberia, La. The 82'×27'×10'3" survey vessel for DEA has a 4'4" draft. It features a hydraulic DTI survey winch with 2,000 meters of cable and a hydraulic side-scan stainless-steel survey strut with a moon pool; a bow crane for side scans in shallow water; a crane for AUV deployment; a 3,000-lb-capacity A-frame with two PL2 winches for towing astern; a moving vessel profiler capable of taking a cast to 350 meters; an Odom CV300 with dual 200-kHz transducers; and 100-kHz and narrow 12-kHz transducers. The aluminum catamaran also features wave-piercing bows. It is powered by Caterpillar C18 Tier 3 diesels each producing 803 hp at 2,100 rpm. The Cats turn ZF 36"×44" nibral 4-bladed propellers through ZF 500A

gears with 2.48:1 ratios. The propulsion package gives the Blake a top speed of 25 knots, a 20-knot cruise speed and a survey speed of 7 knots. Twin Northern Lights 55-kW generators provide service power. The Blake is under a five-year contract to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association to provide critical hydrographic data for updating the nation’s nautical charts. The boat will start its career in the Gulf of Mexico performing charting surveys of Gulfport Channel and Chandeleur Sound with 24-hour survey operations and port calls every 10 days. Over the last 15 years, NOAA has awarded more than $400 million to private survey companies under the Office of Coast Survey’s hydrographic contracting program. The vessel will operate out of Gulfport and will complement Vancouver, Wash.-based DEA’s national operations.

eevac Shipyards, Jennings, La., delivered the first of two 270'×56'×21'6" platform supply vessels to Lafayette, La.-based Aries Marine in November 2014. Main propulsion for Ram Nation comes from four 3516C Caterpillar generators, producing 1,825 kW of electrical power each. Propulsion is provided by a pair of Schottel 2,500-kW SRP 2020 SP, 4-bladed, 106"-dia. Z-drives and a pair of 1,180-kW Schottel tunnel thrusters forward. The main engines are located on the main deck instead of down below to facilitate installation and to provide additional tank farm capacity. The propulsion package is part of the Siemens BlueDrive PlusC dieselelectric propulsion system, which ties together and automates the vessels’ power management, engine controls, machinery, alarms and auxiliary power. Each engine, generator, propeller and thruster is independently controlled, which provides greater flexibility. The BlueDrive system also allows for variable-speed generators, which saves fuel and reduces emissions. Essentially, the system optimizes the functions of all parts, resulting in substantial cost and energy savings. Capacities include 261,400 gals. of fuel oil; 426,300 gals. drillwater; 12,580 bbls. liquid mud; 8,490 cu. ft. bulk mud; 75,400 gals. potable water; and 17,500 gals. miscellaneous tankage. Cargo transfer rates are 1,000 gpm of liquid mud and 750 gpm of fuel oil and drillwater. The vessels have one central corridor instead of corridors port and starboard.

JANUARY 2015 FAST SUPPLY BOAT Gulf Craft

Seacor Marine

Alex F. McCall

he 202'×57' Alex F. McCall was built at Gulf Craft LLC, Patterson, La., for Seacor Marine, Houma, La. The DP-2 monohull fast crew/supply boat is powered by four Cummins QSK60 Tier 3 engines rated at 2,700 hp

at 1,900 rpm for 10,800 hp total. Each engine turns a Twin Disc MGX-61500 SC marine transmission that drives a Hamilton HT810 waterjet to give the boat a 32-knot maximum speed. At a cruising speed of 26 knots (1,800 rpm), the mains burn 366 gph. At the economy speed of 22 knots (1,500 rpm), fuel consumption drops to 264 gph. Three 290-kW main generators powered by Cummins QSM11s provide ship’s service power. In addition to pumping and general needs, the gensets also power three electric 200-hp Thrustmaster tunnel bowthrusters. The 132'×27' cargo deck is estimated to have a 400 LT capacity. Total vessel deadweight is 472 LT. Seating is provided for 64 passengers.

easpan’s Vancouver Shipyards constructed the first-ever cable ferry for BC Ferries. The 258'×56' Baynes Sound Connector has room for 50 vehicles and 150 passengers, on the run between Buckley Bay and Denman Island on the eastern shore of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. BC Ferries said the new cable ferry is capable of a top speed of 8.5 knots with

a normal service speed of 7.5 knots and it will save about $2 million a year in fuel and labor costs. With a crossing of 1.2 miles, the cable ferry operation is one of the longest of its kind in the world. The Baynes Sound Connector has two guide cables, one on each side, and one drive cable in the center, all 1 5/8" in diameter. All three cables are secured, under tension, at each end of

the run. The cables lie on the seabed and rise and fall with the ferry as it crosses. The drive cable wraps around a bull wheel in the center of the boat. The bull wheel is turned by hydraulic motors powered by one of the two 400hp diesel engines. Elliott Bay Design Group, Seattle, designed the ferry’s mechanical and electrical systems. EYE Marine Consultants, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, was the primary naval architect for the project. The lack of propellers and rudders also reduces underwater drag, making the hull movement more efficient. BC Ferries has described the cable ferry as a green project and emphasized the lower cost of operations as a benefit to the system as a whole by helping keep overall costs down and thereby reducing the need for fare increases.

Shockwave is supplying the shock-mitigating seating. While RIB-like in appearance with their Wing collars, Workskiff is calling these boats “collared fast boats,” or CFBs, and is confident that the Navy will build all 64 boats.

Z-DRIVE FLEET TOWBOAT Raymond & Associates/ Carline Companies

Ken Hocke

Cairo

arline Companies took delivery of a new 1,500-hp, 68'×34'×10' Zdrive fleet towboat in December 2014. Designed by CT Marine and built by Carline and Raymond & Associates, Bayou La Batre, Ala., it’s the first boat Carline has built that is specifically for fleeting operations. It’s also Carline’s first Z-drive. A pair of Thrustmaster of Texas TH750MZ Z-drives provide more control from the wheelhouse. The Cairo was purpose built for fleet duty, nothing else. The Thrustmaster

Z-drives connect to a pair of Cummins QSK19-M Tier 2 diesels, producing 750 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The Cairo’s capacities include 16,819 gals. of fuel; 2,971 gals. potable water; and 415 gals. each of engine lube oil and Z-drive lube oil. The wheelhouse is octagonal, set as close to midship as possible, and features floor-to-ceiling windows for a 360° view. Though the Cairo is a day boat and has no berths, the vessel has plenty of amenities, including a full galley, with large screen television on one wall, two heads and a training room.

SeaTran Marine

Mr. Steven

eaTran Marine LLC, New Iberia, La., will take delivery of its second new 205'×34'×13' DP-2 crewboat, the Mr. Steven, from Gulf Craft LLC, Franklin, La., in early April. The first 205' crewboat, the Capt. Elliott, was delivered in November 2014. The boats are identical except for the engine packages. The Capt. Elliott is powered by four Cummins QSK60 engines putting out 2,700 hp each while the Mr. Steven will have quad Caterpillar 3516Cs, each developing 2,575 hp. The boats each have four Twin Disc MGX-61500 reduction gears with

2.56:1 ratios and four HamiltonJet HT810 waterjets. The engine packages give the boats a top speed of 32 knots light and 26 knots loaded. For service power, the Capt. Elliott has three Cummins QSM11 290-kW gensets. The Mr. Steven will be outfitted with three Cat C93 250-kw generators. The boats’ 136'×36' decks can handle 400 LT of cargo. Each boat has tankage for 40,200 gals. of ballast/drill water, 62,700 gals. fuel and 3,200 gals. of potable water. The crewboats are the first newbuilds for SeaTran, a joint venture formed late last summer when Iberia Marine Service LLC, Comar Marine LLC and Texas Crewboats Inc. joined forces. The privately owned marine transportation companies have over 135 years of combined experience in the industry and between $150 million and $200 million in equipment made up of 27 crewboats.

2015 BOATBUILDING REVIEW powered by a single, forward-mounted John Deere 13-liter 6135 SFM 75 M-4 diesel engine, producing 650 hp at 2,100 rpm. The engine is connected to a Twin Disc MGX-5135A marine gear with a 2:1 reduction ratio. Between the gear and the 32"×36", 5-bladed bronze Hale propeller are two shafts. One is a 3"-dia., 17'5" shaft, which is enclosed in a sealed, oil-filled shaft log, with bearings manufactured by the Evolution Co., and a thrust bearing on the front end. Attached to that is a 4'6" cardan shaft that is connected to the reduction gear. This arrangement allows the engine to be soft-mounted for noise and vibration reduction. Some other features of the vessel include a 4'10" draft, passenger/crew capacity of eight, manual davit at the stern, aft cockpit helm station, heavy-duty, urethanesheathed Wing fendering system and transom platform for MOB retrieval.

Moore Boat

Moore Shallow Shuttle 23

eacrets-Jamaica USA, a waterfront entertainment complex in Ocean City, Md., is having three 23' aluminum RIBs built at Moore Boat in Bishopville, Md., that will shuttle people from their boats to the beach. The Moore Shallow Shuttle 23 only draws 10" and can get up on step and start planing at 7 mph, going over sandbars with just 4" of water. However, if you want to get somewhere in a hurry, the single 200-hp Mercury Sport Jet

can push the 23-footer to 40-plus mph. The shuttle’s hull is 5086 aluminum. There’s 1/2" keel plating and the bottom plating is 1/4" as are the frames and longitudinals. At the bow there’s a substantial amount of V to break up the chop, while at the transom there’s 7° of deadrise. Moore Boat designed the Moore Shallow Shuttle 23 with the assistance of the Band Lavis Division of CDI Marine, Philadelphia. The Coast Guard-approved 23-footers have a 9'4" beam including the heavily reinforced six-chamber inflated collar. Each can pack 12 passengers and two crew. There’s bench seating with storage space and the option of a sunshade top that covers the seating area.

LNG BUNKER BARGE Conrad Industries

Conrad Industries

Hull H489

nother milestone in the development of LNG as a marine fuel in the U.S. was reached in early March when Conrad Industries, Morgan City, La., signed a contract to build the first dedicated LNG bunker barge in North America. The barge, Hull H489, will be built by Conrad Orange Shipyard in Texas for WesPac Midstream and its affiliate, Clean Marine Energy, which will deploy the barge out of Tacoma, Wash. Clean Marine’s customer

will be TOTE’s two Orca-class cargo vessels, which are being converted to LNG. The 232'×48'8"×15'8" bunker barge was designed by Bristol Harbor Group, Bristol, R.I., with significant input from Conrad and GTT, the French company that developed the LNG cryogenic membrane containment technology being used for this project. Unlike type C cylindrical tanks, the GTT membrane tanks can be built to fit spaces inside a vessel. The vessel shell can also serve as the outside of the tank. Inside is a layer of foam covered by stainless steel. The new barge from Conrad will have a capacity of 2,200 cu. meters. It will feature an innovative bunker mast design, REACH4, which was developed by GTT for simple and safe LNG transfer to the client vessel. Construction of the new LNG bunker barge is expected to be completed by early 2016. Conrad has exclusive rights to GTT membrane technology in North America.

The mains are connected to 31" fixed-pitched Sound propellers through ZF Marine reversing-reduction gears. The propulsion package gives the Oscar B a running speed of 10 knots. Two Cummins 23MDKBV gensets, sparking 23 kW of electrical power each, provide service power needs. Tankage includes 2,900 gals. of fuel and 300 gals. fresh water. The Oscar B is USCG certified, Subchapter T. It cost a reported $3.9 million.

TRIPLE-SCREW TUG Rodriguez Shipbuilding

Rodriguez Shipbuilding

Captain Nedo C

ver the years, innovative tug designers and operators have found that three smaller engines, turning smaller props can deliver as much power with significantly less draft than a twin-prop boat with bigger engines. An additional advantage of the triplescrew arrangement is that if one engine loses power, the operator can still rely on two engines for maneuvering and

safety. Joey Rodriguez of Rodriguez Shipbuilding, Bayou La Batre, Ala., has been very successful with his inhouse designed lugger-type tugs. Their aft mounted deckhouse provides a convenient foreword deck space for cargo. A single-drum, aft-mounted towing winch allows towing or, with blocks, the boat can be rigged as a pusher. Rodriguez recently delivered the Captain Nedo C to Cvitanovic Towing, Empire, La. The triple-engine lugger is powered by three Cummins QSK19-M engines each producing 660 hp at 1,800 rpm. The 70'×29' tug has a molded depth of 9'6" and is equipped with a Pullmaster M50 stern towing winch.

lount Boats Inc., Warren, R.I., delivered the 79'×23'×8' Chandra B. on Sept. 6 to American Petroleum and Transport Inc., Miller Place, N.Y. Built to Coast Guard Subchapter D regulations, the bunker tanker will replace AP&T’s tanker Capt. Log. With a capacity of 56,450 gals. in six tanks, the steel Chandra B. has nearly triple the tankage of the old 57'×15' Capt. Log, which had a 19,000-gal. capacity. AP&T earlier replaced two single-skin tankers, the 6,000-gal. Patrick Sky and the 4,000-gal. Scotty Sky, with 10,000bbl., double-hulled barges. Designed by Farrell & Norton Naval Archi-

tects, Newcastle, Maine, the Chandra B. is powered by a pair of EPA Tier 3-compliant Cummins QSL9 engines that each put out 330 hp at 1,800 rpm. The engines drive ZF W325 marine hydraulic gears, with 4.91:1 reduction ratios turning 48"×54" 4-bladed nickelaluminum-bronze propellers from HS Marine Propulsion, on 3.5" Aquamet shafts. Speed is 8.5 knots maximum, and 7 knots fully loaded at 1,600 rpm.

2015 BOATBUILDING REVIEW points on the machinery alone. As a dual-fuel vessel, the Harvey Energy can steam to and from the rig on diesel and save its LNG for standby operations. Among the competing requirements designers faced were those of ABS’s ENVIRO classification, which, among many other things, requires an environmental officer onboard and the tracking of consumables that can effect the environment such as light bulbs. Another significant advantage of LNG is that unlike diesel, it won’t pollute the water. A spill will evaporate and leave no slick, so there’s not even a reporting requirement. Each of the 42 berths in the boat’s 19 staterooms have widescreen satellite TVs with DVD players mounted at the foot of the bunk. When a crewmember gets off watch he or she can kick back in his or her bunk and watch a movie or channel surf. Or you can check your email and surf the Internet. That’s if you don’t feel like watching a movie in the rec room or

having a snack in the mess.

However, the Becky S. has a little more horsepower than its sister tugs — 4,480 hp versus 4,000 hp — with the power coming from a pair of Tier 3 Caterpillar 3515T3MPL main engines (compared with the other tugs’ Tier 2 Cats) that each produce 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 stainlesssteel propellers set in nozzles. The package gives the tug a speed of 12 knots.

The Petrel, a Calvin Beal design, will be the research boat in the university’s marine science program, after the boat’s final outfitting

is completed at Jersey Cape Custom Yachts in Lower Bank, N.J. With an A-frame gantry set up over the open transom and a Pullmaster PL-5 winch mounted just behind the deckhouse, the Petrel will tow seafloor instruments for measuring current and water quality. The Petrel will also use underwater surveying equipment, such as a side-scan and a multibeam sonar, and remotely operated vehicles for depth measuring, habitat and shipwreck mapping. The multibeam sonar will mount on either side of the wheelhouse. The wheelhouse is cored with 3/4" Divinycell on the sides and 1" on top. The Petrel has a solid fiberglass hull with a deck made up of ¾" Coosa Composites Bluewater 26, a high-density polyurethane foam that’s covered with three layers of fiberglass.

HARBOR TUG Diversified Marine Industries

Bruce Buls

Michelle Sloan

iversified Marine Industries, Portland, Ore., delivered the 80'×36' harbor tug Michelle Sloan to Harley Marine Services in March.

The sistership, the Lela Franco, was christened in July. The harbor tugs are powered by pairs of Caterpillar 3516s, each rated at 2,575 hp for a total of 5,150 hp. Bollard pull ahead is an estimated 68 tons, astern 65 tons. The Michelle Sloan and the Lela Franco, which are both operating in the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, have smaller skegs that help reduce drag when moving sideways. Because the tugs are doing a lot of ship assist and towing on the hip, they have hawser winches on both the bow and the stern. Both are electric and both are from Markey Machinery in Seattle. The bow winch is a DE PCF-48 with 600' of 8" Spectra line (400,000-lb. breaking strength), and the stern winch is a DECP-32 with 250' of 6" Spectra line (200,000-lb. breaking strength). An energy-saving innovation incorporated into the new tug is the ductless heating and cooling system. It includes a pair of Daikin heat pumps mounted between the

exhaust stacks on the aft side of the pilothouse. Using a refrigerant vapor cycle, ductless systems collect heat from outside and deliver it inside on the heating cycle. In the cooling mode, the system collects heat from inside and moves it outside. The Daikin system uses variable speed compressors with inverter technology (AC to DC) to continuously match the heating or cooling load for increased efficiency, especially compared to conventional electric resistance heating.

Power for the new boats is provided by pairs of Cummins Tier 3 QSK-50s, each rated at 1,800 hp at 1,900 rpm. With ZF 5055 gears and 46"-dia., 5-bladed propellers, service speed is 28 knots at 78% power. The Sally Fox is also the first boat built to new structural fire protection guidelines. Called the 5A Space Performance Guidelines, the new rules provide suitable fire protection in low-fire-load spaces and help keep weight down for high-speed passenger boats. The cabin includes a designated area for people with disabilities, as well as a large ADA-compliant toilet. Riders seem to appreciate the space and the other attributes of the new boat. All American has a letter from a crossSound commuter who handles procurement contracts for King County’s bus division. “Your attention to detail, and clear concept of, and focus on craftsmanship is not only impressive, but much appreciated from my highly critical eye and work history point of view. Too bad you’re not in the bus building business as well.”

tors, producing 1,825 kW of electrical power each. The Siemens BlueDrive PlusC diesel-electric propulsion system controls the vessel’s power management, machinery, alarms and propulsion. The Cat generators power a pair of Schottel 2,500-kW SRP 2020 SP, 4-bladed, 106"-dia. Z-drives and a pair of 1,180-kW Schottel bowthrusters. Siemens brought its own crew in to install the BlueDrive system, but Leevac’s workers helped integrate that

system with the other features of the new boat. One of the unique features of the boat is that it has a central corridor instead of corridors port and starboard, and the bow has a more European look to it than most other PSVs that operate in the Gulf of Mexico. The 4,000-dwt Ram Country is fully SOLAS, so it can work anywhere in the world.

The Marine 5 was built at Winninghoff Boats, Rowley, Mass., and delivered in March. The boat will be used for search-and-rescue missions involving boats and people in the water and fires on shore, both up the Saco River and then out into Saco Bay. For the firefighting detail, there’s a 240gpm Hale monitor on the bow powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine. The wheelhouse has a bench seat for two people, a helm seat and a cutout in the dash where a crewman can stand as a lookout. To facilitate in-water rescues, there’s a dive door on the aft starboard side that folds down into the water with cables to bring it back up. On sea trials, twin 150-hp Mercury 4-stroke 120

oran Towing Corp., New Canaan, Conn., christened its latest ATB tug, the 121'×36'x18' Mariya Moran, on the Pensacola, Fla., waterfront in May. Pensacola-based Patti Marine Enterprises built the new 6,000-hp tug. It will be mated to the 160,000-bbl. barge Texas, currently under construction at Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wis., to create the new articulated tug/barge unit. Ocean Tug & Barge Engineering, Milford, Mass., designed the Mariya Moran with Seattle-based Jensen Maritime Consultants providing productionengineering support. With a 16' draft, the new ATB tug has a height of eye of 58'8" and will push oil products around the Gulf Coast once the ATB is placed in service. Main propulsion for the tug comes from twin EMD 12-710G7C-T3 Tier 3 diesels, producing 3,000 hp at 900 rpm each. The EMDs connect to 5-bladed HS Marine Propulsion ADV Series wheels through Lufkin RHS2500HG marine gears with 4.458:1 reduction ratios. The power package gives the new tug a maximum speed of 122

With contractors already building foundations for the turbines, the boat is scheduled for delivery on April 1, 2016. Tankage will include 2,250 gals. of fuel oil and 130 gals. fresh water. Main propulsion will come from two 1,400-hp MAN V121400 engines linked to ZF Marine 3050 gears and HamiltonJet HM571 waterjets. Top speed is expected to exceed 28 knots. Cruising speed at 80% throttle will be an estimated 27 knots and the CTV should hit 23 knots loaded. Up at the bow, a boarding platform lets offshore workers get from the boat into the turbine tower with a special Manuplas fendering system like those used in Europe. The interior

That’s the 69'×19' tactical-response boat delivered to the New York City Police Department in April by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding in Somerset, Mass. It is the first of two 69' vessels going to the NYPD Harbor Unit that are based on a design from C. Raymond Hunt Associates in New Bedford, Mass. The Harbor Launch 701 was christened in honor of Phillip Cardillo, an NYPD officer who was slain in the line of duty 43 years ago. The second vessel, Harbor Launch 702, will be christened in honor of Jeff Herman, an NYPD officer who was killed in the line of duty in 1989. When it’s time to haul a tactical team where it needs to go in a big hurry, there’s plenty of power in two MTU 12V2000M94 diesels that put out 1,920-hp each at 2,450 rpm.

For crowd control operations, a remote controlled water cannon delivering 1,500 gpm at 150 psi from Elkhart Brass can be used. An acoustic device from LRAD Corp. can also be used to control crowds. There’s also a nuclear, biological and chemical

filtration system that pressurizes the interior spaces while supplying filtered fresh air. Officials didn’t want to talk too much about the ballistic-resistant panels, but said that for a boatyard using them for the first time there is a big learning curve. It’s a difficult material to work with. It doesn’t work well with conventional tools and has to be cut with a waterjet. The material is also very expensive, so it’s good not to make a mistake. Gladding-Hearn had

previously built a boat with ballisticresistant panels, so the learning curve wasn’t a big issue for this boat.

2015 BOATBUILDING REVIEW fouling in high waters. Moreover, the double-duty of the inboard engine for water pump power saves 30 sq. ft. up forward, 2,000 lbs., and as much as $100,000, which would be the additional cost for a larger boat with a separate drive and pump power. A diverter valve forward sends water to the on-deck fire monitor for a 610-gpm output. In its pure fire hydrant mode, the engine can move 1,050 gpm through a 1.5" hose or up to 3,500 gpm with a 5" connection.

ALUMINUM PASSENGER VESSEL Bay Welding Services

Bay Welding Services

Aligo Point

ay Welding Services, Homer, Alaska, delivered the 43'6"×13'6" aluminum boat Aligo Point to the Alaska Wildland Adventures lodge in Aialik Bay in July. Designed by Coastwise Corp., the new vessel can carry passengers or freight. Since the destination is outside the relatively protected waters of Resurrection Bay and the Aligo Point will be travelling the outer Gulf of Alaska coast, a Coast

Guard certificate of inspection for limited coastal travel was required. The 43' landing craft is powered by triple Suzuki 300-hp outboards. With that power package, the Aligo Point has a top speed of 42 mph. It’s expected to cruise at 30 mph with passengers aboard. The outboards are mounted on a Teleflex jack plate that can be raised for shallow water operations. With the outboards tipped up, the vessel can operate in about 2' of water. The boat carries up to 30 people — 28 passengers, two crew — or 10,000 lbs. of freight. For passengers, there’s a cabin that’s a little over half the boat’s length with a raised pilothouse above it. Inside the cabin is seating for 18 passengers. When it’s time to load freight, the cabin seats are removable and the front of the cabin is hinged, allowing it to be swung open. There’s enough space in the cabin to fit a bobcat loader and close the door or put in lumber to support Alaska Wildland Adventures growing

Designed by LeMole Naval Architecture, the Molly Pitcher and sistership Betsy Ross are designed for up to 400 passengers and 28 knots loaded service speed. Draft can be an issue, so the boats draw just 6' and have propellers recessed in tunnels. The Molly Pitcher is propelled by a pair of Tier 3-compliant Caterpillar 3512C engines, rated at 2,367 hp at 1,800 rpm. With room for 350 passengers in oversized high back seats and total capacity of 400 riders plus up to 10 crew, the boats represent an investment of over $10 million by NY Waterway.

St. Peter

n August, Marquette Transportation took delivery of its latest towboat from Master Marine in Bayou La Batre, Ala. The 78'×34'×11' St. Peter is now part of Marquette’s Gulf-Inland Division, based in Harahan, La. Several things set this towboat apart from others in the Marquette fleet, such as Z-drive propulsion. When it comes to the business of moving barges, the St. Peter has a pair of 1,000-hp at 1,800 rpm Caterpillar C32s that are matched up with ZF AT 5111 WM-FP Z-drives from ZF Marine Propulsion Systems. The Z-drives have 65",

4-bladed propellers in nozzles. The propulsion combination gives the new towboat a running speed of 10 knots loaded. Also in the engine room are two 80-kW Marathon Mariner gensets driven by John Deere 4045AFM85 generator-drive engines. Patterson 40ton, electrically powered deck winches secure the barge tows. Master Marine has orders from Marquette for more Z-drive towboats and is building two at a time. Entech Designs, Kenner, La., designed the St. Peter.

ADVERTORIAL INLAND POWER GROUP

IS NOW PART OF INTERSTATE POWERSYSTEMS PowerSystems

nterstate Companies, Inc., a growing Minnesota company that operates a diverse industrial conglomerate headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, has purchased the assets of Inland Power Group of Butler, Wisconsin. Details of the purchase, which closed Sept. 25, were not released by the privately held companies. Inland was founded as Inland GM Diesel, Inc., in 1958. It acquired and improved facilities over the years, added product lines and changed its name to Inland Power Group in 2007. It has provided sales, parts and service for the full line of Detroit Diesel, and MTU engines, Allison transmissions, EMD diesel engines, MTU Onsite Energy, GE Jenbacher, and other products. Interstate was founded in 1957. Almost 60 years later, it has become an industrial distribution company and

truck dealer, specializing in sales and support of heavy‐duty trucks, diesel engines, industrial bearing and power transmission products, industrial transmissions, power generation, and other products. It also provides industrial labor services. Interstate Companies was on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing privately‐held businesses in America in both 2013 and 2014, and is currently #58 on the Business Journal list of largest privately‐held companies based in Minnesota. With the acquisition of Inland’s assets, Interstate Companies will employ approximately 1,400 people and operate 41 business units in 32 locations across 12 states in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions. The five newest locations are in Rockford and Carol Stream, Illinois; Iron Mountain,

Michigan; Gary, Indiana; and Butler, Wisconsin. “Interstate and Inland were formed a year apart – Interstate in 1957 and Inland in 1958. The companies have been good friends and neighbors for decades.” said Travis Penrod, CEO of Interstate Companies. “We’ve admired how they’ve done business and are pleased to welcome Inland’s employees into the Interstate Companies family. We will continue to work with Inland’s customers to meet their high expectations, and we’re genuinely excited to offer our existing customers new Interstate locations in these important markets.” Interstate Companies consists of five operating units: Interstate PowerSystems, Interstate BearingSystems, Interstate IndustrialSystems, Interstate AssemblySystems and I‐State Truck Center.

ASA has plans to send a robotic science rover to Mars in 2020, with humans to follow about 15 years later. Interestingly, the mission literally couldn’t get off the ground without Conrad Deepwater South’s Amelia, La., shipyard. That’s where NASA’s 310'×50'×15' barge Pegasus underwent an $8.5 million refurbishing. The barge contains a non-functioning wheelhouse, so the actual cargo deck measures 240'×36'×15' and 41' in height. The barge, which carried NASA space shuttle external tanks, will now haul the core stage of the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS). The Corps

2015 BOATBUILDING REVIEW of Engineers, along with the Bristol Harbor Group, Bristol, R.I., designed the barge modifications. Ship’s service power comes from three John Deere 6090AFM85 generator-drive engines that power three gensets, sparking 200 kW of electrical power each. The switchboard is from Total Instrument & Electrical Services, Houma, La. Capacities include 8,500 gals. of fuel; 3,000 gals. potable water; 3,000 gals. gray water and six ballast tanks. The refurbished barge is ABS classed, Maltese Cross A-1 Barge, Circle E, ABS Loadline, Ocean Service. Because the core stage is 59' longer, 50' taller and more than 500,000 lbs. heavier than the shuttle system, Conrad had to build a new heavy-duty 165' center section for the barge. Pegasus will have a full load draft of 8' once it starts hauling the SLS around. The designers came up with two large test fixtures to substitute for the core stage rocket to test the pedestals, which will carry it. Twelve

tests were done to simulate the rocket under sea state five conditions during transit across the Gulf of Mexico. The next hurdle the engineers came across was how to test the structure in three directions at once. Bristol Harbor Group and the Corps came up with an efficient means to test two fixtures at once, but this testing fixture presented many challenges. First, the loads that this particular fixture would see were extremely high, so the fixture had to be strong enough and had to be stiff enough to transfer the loads to the structure efficiently. Also, it had to be built with the available materials limiting the use of high strength and exotic steels not normally found in the marine industry. NASA set specific limits on how much the cargo can move during a voyage. This is particularly important when crossing open water like the Gulf of Mexico. Any damage to the SLS during delivery could lead to a setback in the Mars’ mission schedule, costing

taxpayers a lot of money. Designers had to make sure that while under transit the barge would not deflect beyond the set limits. To check the design, computational fluid dynamics were used to find the barge motions under transit and engineers took that information and performed a finite element analysis to determine the deflections. The Pegasus arrived at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Bay St. Louis, Miss., in August and will eventually cross the Gulf of Mexico to deliver the first core stage to the Kennedy Space Center.

Gulf Island Marine Fabricators

Rick Calhoun

n August, Marquette Transportation Co., Paducah, Ky., took delivery of a new 180'×48'×11'6" linehaul towboat, the Rick Calhoun. Designed by Gulf Island Marine Fabricators, Houma, La.; CT Marine, Edgecomb, Maine; and Ships Architects Inc., Daphne, Ala., and built at Gulf Island, the new towboat’s propulsion package features twin EMD 20-710 G7C Tier 3 diesels, producing a total of 9,200 hp at 900 rpm. The mains are connected to 5-bladed, stainless steel Sound

Propeller wheels in Kort nozzles through Lufkin RHS3200HG gears. The propulsion package gives the steelhulled Rick Calhoun a running speed of 8 knots. Capacities include 136,000 gals. of fuel; 31,500 gals. potable water; and 1,600 gals. lube oil. Significant ancillary equipment includes a Furuno electronics suite, deck winches from Patterson (BC-40) and Nabrico (DF156-60-11), CO2 fire suppression system from Herbert Hiller, a fire alarm system from Honeywell’s Fire Lite (MS-4), and a Carrier air conditioner. Ship’s service power comes from two John Deere-powered gensets, sparking 222 kW of electrical power each. The Rick Calhoun, which has a steering system by EMI, is the first towboat in 37 years named for someone who is not a member of the Eckstein family. Calhoun is president of Cargo Carriers, Wayzata, Minn., a subsidiary of Minnetonka, Minn.-based Cargill Inc., and in charge of Cargill’s barge and

marine operations in North America. Gulf Island has two sisterships to the Rick Calhoun currently under construction — the first is due out in February 2016 and the second in August 2016. The only difference is that the third boat will feature Reintjes reduction gears instead of Lufkin.

ozema Boat Works, Mount Vernon, Wash., delivered an aluminum 65'×23' oil skimming boat to Western Canada Marine Response Corp. (WCMRC) in Burnaby, British Columbia. On Sept. 1 the G.M. Penman was launched in British Columbia’s Burrard Inlet. It’s the first boat in WCMRC’s fleet of 32 oil spill response boats that can operate continuously for multiple days in open water. For the next year, the G.M. Penman will be operating out of Vancouver Harbor. For oil spill recovery work there’s a collapsible Kepner Ocean Boom of 1,500' and two Lamor 3-brush skimmers. The Kepner boom is stored on a reel on the after deck. As it is let out to contain the spill, the boom expands to 42". When the Lamor brush system is employed, doors open on the sides of the boat with sweep booms attached to them. They can work an area 65' to 70' wide with oil and water coming through the doors. The oil sticks to the brushes and clean water flows out. The captured oil is stored in a centerline tank with a 250-bbl. capacity. Flanking that are fuel tanks with a combined capacity of 2,800 gals. When there is an oil spill, the G.M. Penman should be able to get there in a hurry running at 26 knots. The power to do that comes from a pair of 1,600-hp Caterpillar C32 diesels matched up with Twin Disc 6620 marine gears with 2.73:1 ratios. Also in the engine room is a 40-kW Northern Lights generator. For maneuvering in oil slicks, there’s a 16" Naiad bowthruster. The G.M. Penman has four staterooms. One stateroom has two bunks, the others are single.

ater taxis, dinner cruisers and other workboats in the bustling New York-area waterways are getting their fill-ups from the Chandra B, a new 79'×23'×8' diesel bunkering tanker for American Petroleum and Transport Inc. (AP&T), Miller Place, N.Y. Blount Boats Inc., Warren, R.I., delivered the Chandra B. on Sept. 6. Built to Coast Guard Subchapter D regulations, the vessel will replace AP&T’s tanker Capt. Log, long a familiar sight around the city’s smaller piers and terminals. With a capacity of 56,450 gals. in six tanks, the steel Chandra B. has nearly triple the tankage of the old 57'×15' Capt. Log, which had a 19,000-gal. capacity. Designed by Farrell & Norton Naval Architects, Newcastle, Maine, the Chandra B. is powered by a pair of EPA Tier 3-compliant Cummins QSL9 engines that each put out 330 hp at 1,800 rpm. The engines turn 48"×54" 4-bladed nickel-aluminumbronze propellers (from HS Marine Propulsion) on 3.5" Aquamet shafts through ZF W325 marine hydraulic gears, with 4.91:1 reduction ratios. Speed is 8.5 knots maximum and 7 knots loaded at 1,600 rpm. Beyond the twin engines, the Chandra B. is even more maneuverable than the old single-screw Capt. Log, with a 50-hp, 18" Wesmar hydraulic bowthruster. At less than 100 tons, it can operate with a crew of two to four. Tankage for the vessel is 5,000 gals. diesel fuel, 200 gals. fresh water and 200 gals. waste water. Ship’s service power is provided
