he 38th edition of the International WorkBoat Show kicks off on Nov. 29 in New Orleans and runs through Dec. 1.

Each year, the show becomes a big stage for workboat-related companies to “show their hand.” It’s a chance for them to show off the latest products and services to the industry.

With the annual show issue, it is also a chance for us to show off what this industry is made up of — the construction and operation of brownwater vessels, from ferries to tugs and OSVs to patrol boats and fireboats.

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

Of the 50 that appeared in our pages from December 2016 through November 2017, we will once again honor 10 of them in a special breakfast ceremony before the show opens on Thursday, Nov. 30. From these 10 Significant Boats, we will choose WorkBoat’s Boat of Year for 2017. This year’s list was dominated by tugs — five of them were selected. Other selections: two ferries, an articulated tug-barge, a survey vessel, and a multipurpose support vessel (MPSV).

Six of the vessels were built at Gulf of Mexico shipyards, three were built at West Coast yards, and one at a Great Lakes shipyard.

Also in this issue, we once again list our top 10 news stories of the year.

And, unfortunately, the top story continues to be the offshore energy slump, now in its third year. It was another tough year for workboat companies with close ties to the offshore energy

market, but there were other more positive stories out there.

One was the continued growth in the ferry market. Newbuild orders and deliveries of ferries have been growing and 2017 was a particularly busy year for new construction. Making news this year were big ferry commuter projects for New York and San Francisco, and many other cities are expanding or launching new ferry and water taxi operations.

This story and others are sure to be discussed at the WorkBoat Show. See you there.

Support the Jones Act

B

lessey Marine Services, a company I started out of a home office in the 1970s, owns and operates more than 85 inland boats and 170 tank barges, making it one of the largest inland liquid petroleum carriers in the country.

We operate on every navigable tributary of the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys. We employ 800 hardworking Americans. My home Congressional district has the largest number of maritime-employed constituents of any district in America.

I ask you to remain steadfast and to support the Jones Act and everything that it stands for. The Jones Act requires that all vessel crewmembers employed on vessels in coastwise domestic shipping must be U.S. citizens. We spend a great amount of time and money screening employment applications, and then mentoring, training, and lead-

ing our crews. We also spend a great amount of time and money to ensure compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and Homeland Security regulations, which are in place for one reason: to make America and its waterways safe in every aspect. Yes, we could possibly hire foreigners cheaper. However, we would risk a lower standard of performance.

We would risk having an industry with more collisions, allisions and oil spills.

Since Exxon Valdez, our industry has spent nearly 30 years working with the USCG to put in place protections for all aspects of the inland marine industry, including safe equipment, safe navigation and operations, and efficient and comprehensive training. Who would monitor these foreign crews?

The Jones Act requires that majority ownership of any vessel operating coastwise must be U.S. citizens. This makes sense to us. Do we want foreigners controlling our domestic commerce? We do not think so.

Finally, the Jones Act requires that equipment used in domestic shipping trade routes must be built in the U.S. If “built in America” is done away with, significant jobs will be exported and significant skills will fade away. Yes, we as operators may be able to buy our equipment cheaper from a foreign shipyard. However, we feel that a vibrant shipbuilding industry is in our national interest. Trained, skilled, high-paying jobs for U.S. welders, pipefitters, laborers, and even supervisors would be outsourced to the lowest common denominator.

I am a free trade guy except when it comes to our national security. I believe that our national security interests trump free trade, and I encourage your support of the Jones Act. Walter E. Blessey Jr. Chairman and CEO Blessey Marine Services Inc. Harahan, La.

nce in a while I see something that restores at least a small bit of my faith in the capacity of the seafarer profession to transcend some of its own worst tendencies.

While standing by with our barge at a lay berth, I watched as a small containership approached the dock just ahead of us. The ship came in at roughly a 20°-to-30° angle to the dock, which was to port, with a 15-to-20-knot wind running parallel along the face. It had an assist tug with them, but it was standing by off the starboard side with no line up, ready to help, but not in the way. They eased past us, closing slowly and steadily on the dock.

By the time the ship’s stern was clear ahead of our barge’s bow, the ship’s bow was about 100' off the dock. That’s when I saw a heaving line go streaking over. At that moment, I saw one of the crewman on the stern of the ship drop a few feet of

roviding aid to the survivors of hurricanes and other natural disasters as rapidly as we can should always be a top priority. However, I am concerned about how quickly Jones Act waivers are granted that allow foreign shippers to move supplies without first giving a chance for the U.S. shipping industry to effectively respond.

I feel that some politicians and media outlets incorrectly discount U.S. shippers in times of national need. Why do they assume that U.S. shippers and mariners cannot get the job done? I think the answer is rooted in misplaced emotion and a lack of understanding of the U.S. shipping industry. They aren’t aware that we have both the ships and mariners available in times of need.

Think about the many different types of U.S. commercial vessels that carried thousands of our citizens safely from New York City after the 9/11 attacks. And don’t forget the ferries that rescued passengers of the ill-fated U.S. Air flight 1549 on the Hudson River. There are countless other waterbased rescues that go unnoticed nationwide each year.

small shot line down from his left hand and, with a deft flick of the wrist, set it spinning counterclockwise.

Within a few revolutions he had simultaneously gained speed and fed out more shot line until he reached a toggle in the line and the radius of the circle was about 10'. After another quickening four or five spins, he released it from about 100' away.

The line arced beautifully and the weighted end (yes, a weighted end) landed with a dull thud on the dock about three feet in from the edge.

It did not bounce, roll or otherwise move, and the line-handlers quickly darted over and grabbed it. Soon they were pulling over stern line as it was fed off the drum, and by the time the ship had closed to within 50' the line had been dropped on a bollard and was slowly winched in.

Between the forces from the two mooring lines and the thrusters, the ship was brought dockside in a very controlled fashion. They never used the assist tug until the very end, pinning the ship until they were “all fast.”

Many don’t understand the Jones Act and its importance to our country and the maritime industry. According to law, the Jones Act can only be waived in the interest of national defense.

However, the Bush administration set a precedent by waiving the law to respond to fuel shortages caused by several hurricanes. As a result, the nation now quickly seeks Jones Act waivers in response to national disasters. Many now believe that the Jones Act gets in the way of or prevents us from adequately responding to disasters. This couldn’t be further from the truth. U.S. companies such as Tote, Crowley and others have the ability and resources to efficiently respond.

Some politicians have referred to the Jones Act as being arcane, outdated, and have called for its repeal. Caving in to political pressure to grant Jones Act waivers plays directly into the hands of international shippers and others who would like to expand their businesses. They would undercut U.S. shippers, shipyards and shipyard workers, suppliers and, of course, U.S. mariners. We have the resources, talent, technology and the expertise to respond effectively to any national disaster or need.

Let’s not jump the gun in the future when hurricanes hit and overlook U.S. shipping.

offshore drilling and production in the Gulf of Mexico. Scheduled for March 2018, it will be the largest offshore lease sale in U.S. history. While the sale will not immediately affect oil supply and prices, it will be a key driver in the future offshore market as production struggles to keep up with a projected 45% increase in global oil demand by 2050. The sale will include federal waters off the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

But it doesn’t end there. The Trump administration is also actively encouraging energy development in Alaska and the Arctic. It announced the sale

t has been a tough year for the offshore market. To put it mildly, it has struggled.

But will business finally improve soon? It’s Nov. 3 and the price of oil sits at $55 bbl. A few analysts see the price of WTI rising to as much as $58 bbl. by year’s end. If it occurs, it will be primarily attributed to Saudi Arabia’s ongoing determination to end a global supply glut.

The projected oil price increase is also linked to expectations that U.S. crude inventories will drop as the year progresses. Unfortunately, those expectations were somewhat dampened in late October due to a rise in U.S. production and inventory. For now, it looks as though the price of crude may trend higher as the year moves to a close.

However, if the prices don’t move significantly upward, there appears to be other positives for the market, albeit with extended time lines.

The biggest one is the late-October announcement that the federal government will offer 77 million acres for

of 900 tracts of land in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. That is in addition to BOEM’s review of Hilcorp Alaska’s Liberty Project in the Arctic.

Hilcorp wants to build a self-contained island connected to land by a subsea pipeline. Hilcorp estimates that the Liberty Project contains approximately 150 million bbls. of recoverable, highquality crude oil.

The plans follow Trump’s reversal of the Arctic ban on oil and gas leasing by the Obama administration.

It will be interesting to see whether oil price dynamics can support the massive offshore development that the Trump administration is encouraging.

offshore driller Diamond Offshore.

Despite the continued weakness in the offshore drilling market, the company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of 25 cents a share.

However, during Diamond Offshore’s earnings call with analysts in October, Marc Edwards, president and chief executive officer, said the company still was not ready to call a bottom to the market since the “number of contract rollovers in the next 12 months exceeds new fixture opportunities currently in the pipeline.”

But he said the number of tenders had increased and customer inquiries have picked up. “Yet, contract durations for the most part remain short and pricing is very challenged.”

Gulf Island Fabrication, which operates three Louisiana shipyards, was up slightly for the month despite missing third-quarter earnings and revenue estimates.

Kirk Meche, president and CEO of the Houma, La., company, blamed the weak numbers on “underutilization” across all its divisions along with revised estimates to two of its complex projects at its shipyards division. This contributed to the company reporting a net loss of $3.1 million, or 21 cents a share, for the third quarter.

However, Meche told analysts during the company’s October earnings call that he was pleased to report significant improvements compared to last quarter.

“Additionally, the backlog numbers continue to improve” with contract awards within the company’s services and shipyards divisions. ­— David Krapf

Inland Insider Looking beyond coal

A

popular monthly railroad publication said that in today’s railroad parlance double-stack container trains should be regarded as the successor to yesterday’s coal trains. The point was that double-stack container trains had replaced the age-old proliferation of coal trains that dominated much of the railroad network.

That perspective is worth noting for several reasons. First, while railroads (and barge lines) have seen a large permanent decline in coal volumes — about 30% overall — there is still significant tonnage being moved. Second, at least for railroads, there has been growth in other traffic, notably domestic and foreign containers. However, the freight revenue per unit of traffic for containerized cargoes is consider-

ably less compared to coal.

The viability of the overall traffic base is having an effect on reported profits and shareholder stock prices.

Publicly traded railroad stocks are currently near record highs. This is particularly true for the two eastern coal hauling railroads that are most affected by the decline of the Appalachian coal market.

The decrease in coal volumes moved via rail and barge is not a permanent impediment to growing the traffic base.

For barge lines, that is the rub. Outside of coal, the traffic base must grow and take up the slack. Railroad shipment sizes, ranging in weight from 25 tons for containers to 110 tons for bulk cargo, are much smaller than 1,500-ton barge loads. But eventually containers or freight cars are marshaled into trains ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 cargo tons, which is more suggestive of barge tows.

Barge lines need to secure large vol-

Insurance Watch

Tools for the job: Insurance policies

S

hipyards perform a variety of jobs, often at different locations. They want to be able to tell customers, “Yes, we can do that for you.”

An insurance policy can have a narrow set of coverage areas and if you stray outside those boundaries you might not be covered for what you are doing. The following are just a few of the areas to think about, because expanding your business often means that you’ll need to expand your insurance coverage too.

If you send your employees to work on a boat at a location other than what is listed on your current policy, the traveling workmen endorsement is a smart addition. This adds coverage to your existing marina operations legal liability (MOLL). It extends its limits to the vessel you are working on whether it is at sea or at any U.S. port 14

WB_AAG_LINO.indd 14

while your employees are on board for the purposes of repair or alterations.

MOLLs are designed to cover operations related to boatbuilding and repair.

They can also cover fueling, docking and hauling. The work your yard does is listed and covered on the MOLL. But what about that once-in-a-blue-moon job or the favor you make for a neighboring business? Are these covered? By including the words “and other similar boatyard operations,” you may have a chance. This catchall phrase can help provide coverage when previously there may have been none.

Do you have a workboat that is used occasionally by your employees? You may have a gap in coverage should an employee be injured while operating the boat and you have not included crew coverage on your policy. The burden is on the employee to prove in

ume shippers that are not time sensitive to low speeds and operations disruptions that occur on the waterways. Unfortunately, this largely

When the coal decline began it appeared that the handwriting was on the wall for the traditional coal hauling railroads. Now five years into the longterm decline of coal, these railroads have grown and prospered while losing about one-third of their traditional coal base.

Barge lines should see the same results.

Affirmative defenses must typically be pled in the answer or be considered waived and unenforceable. One such defense is the primary duty rule. The rule provides that a seaman cannot win his claim against an employer for

injuries caused by the seaman’s own failure to perform a duty imposed on him by virtue of his employment.

At first glance, this appears to be a potentially powerful bar to many Jones Act claims. However, since its

By Daniel Hoerner creation over a half century ago, the primary duty rule has been significantly watered down and, in some jurisdictions, rejected entirely as a viable defense.

Many courts simply refuse to apply the rule in lieu of the more equitable comparative fault doctrine, which reduces a seaman’s recovery by the percentage of his own fault. In those courts still applying the rule, three specific elements must be proven. First, the primary duty rule can apply only to a breach of duty that the seaman knowingly assumed as a term of his employment.

Secondly, the rule will not apply where the seaman’s accident or injury is caused by a dangerous condition which he did not create and in the proper exercise of his employment duties he could not have controlled or eliminated. Lastly, the rule will apply only to a knowing violation of the duty consciously assumed by the seaman as a term of his employment.

Thus, these restrictions will not allow the rule to be applied to accidents or injuries resulting from a momentary lapse of care by an otherwise prudent seaman.

However, a seaman’s carelessness can still reduce his recovery proportionate to his own negligence under comparative fault principles.

Ferry contract losses result in bankruptcy filing for Horizon Shipbuilding

L

osses on its NYC Ferry construction contract brought Horizon Shipbuilding Inc. to bankruptcy court in late October — after delivering on that order, amid recriminations between builders and the ferry operator, Hornblower Cruises & Events subsidiary HNY Ferry Fleet LLC. “Had we not manned up another 70 or 80 people in May and June, those boats would not have been delivered,” said Nick Beaver, president of Kamcor Inc., Chesapeake, Va., the largest subcontractor on the project. He estimates that he was left unpaid for at least $750,000 of work by his welders and shipfitters.

“If this was $80,000 I’d say, well that sucks, but this is about $1 million. This could put me out of business,” Beaver added.

Documents filed with the Alabama Southern Bankruptcy Court in Mobile, Ala., show that Horizon in Bayou La 18

WB_Newslog_LINO.indd 18

Batre, Ala., submitted a voluntary Chapter 11 petition on Oct. 24. In late September, company officials revealed that the NYC Ferry “project revenues were not sufficient for Horizon to continue normal day to day operations. The forecasted shortfalls were brought to the forefront early in the project and discussions have been ongoing since then without resolution.”

The public ferry service, a $325 million investment by the city of New York, is a bold project to create a complete system and new fleet within two years. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and Hornblower selected Gulf Coast shipbuilders Horizon and Franklin, La.’s Metal Shark, two companies with aluminum boatbuilding expertise, to create within months a fleet of 20 Incat Crowther designed 85'4", 149-passenger high speed catamaran ferries.

alf of the U.S. ocean science fleet will be retired by 2030 and planning for new vessels is inadequate, the National Academies of Science warned in an October report. Funding for ocean research has been flat or declining for a decade, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has just one research vessel with global capability, the 274'x52'5"x17' Ronald H. Brown built in 1996.

NOAA has recently planned for building two new “Class A” ships, but critical decisions are needed soon for prioritizing the needs for future science ships, the report says. Eighteen of the 35 U.S. vessels will be retired by 2030. “This means making funding decisions regarding how many new vessels of each class could be built and which ships could go out of service or be upgraded, while still providing for operation and maintenance of existing ships,” the report says. — Kirk Moore

tors and vendors, it was an opportunity to be part of a project closely watched by both industry and cities looking for new water transit options for commuters.

“This was a big project for us. This was something we were going to hang our hat on,” said Beaver, who wrote to the NYCEDC offering Kamcor as a subcontractor for building the vessels.

That led directly to a relationship with Hornblower, and the company’s special projects manager, Junior Volpe, who spent months on the Gulf Coast overseeing the construction, said Beaver.

“I was in communication with Junior on a daily basis,” and the two would meet over dinner with Horizon president Travis Short, said Beaver. He

was aware there were “conversations started in March” over costs between Hornblower and Horizon, and there had been assurances Hornblower could subsidize labor costs.

In an email to WorkBoat, Horizon president Travis Short said his company delivered on “the extremely aggressive delivery schedule,” but that racked up costs.

“Halfway through the project (February of this year), we realized we would be experiencing many more labor hours than originally budgeted,” Short wrote.

Discussions on price adjustments started immediately with Hornblower and city officials, and continued up until a 10th boat was delivered in September.

Short said the price adjustments never came to fruition and Horizon was forced to suspend normal operations shortly after delivery of the 10th boat.

Beaver said he was getting paid “right up until I started on (vessel) 206.” Hornblower then began asking him to sign lien releases, and “the payments didn’t stop until those liens were signed,” he said.

Beaver protested vigorously, but the city and Hornblower aren’t going to do anything, he said.

In a statement, Hornblower officials said their company has “no legal relationship whatsoever with Kamcor, with

respect to this project.”

“Our contractual relationship was with Horizon, and we have fulfilled all of our obligations under that contract.

As for Horizon’s current situation, we wish them well and would be willing to work with them in the future, should their situation change.”

NYCEDC officials have stayed out of the fray, saying only that it is Hornblower’s responsibility to the city to deliver the ferries. An August contract for four 97', 350-passenger Subchapter K catamarans was awarded by NYC Ferry to Metal Shark, where they are under construction. — Kirk Moore

Bouchard pays another $13 million for 2003 Buzzards Bay oil spill

M

ore than 14 years after one of its barges grounded and spilled 98,000 gals. of fuel oil into Buzzards Bay, Bouchard Transportation Co. Inc. agreed in October to pay an additional $13 million in damages to the federal government and state agencies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

In volume, the 2003 spill is far down the list of U.S. accidents. But its

19

environmental impact and cost underscore the risk that drives the maritime transport industry and its regulators to ramp up safety efforts.

The pending court settlement would raise the overall price tag for the April 2003 accident above $40 million.

The number includes a previous natural resources damage claim for more than $6 million in 2010, a $10 million fine to settle federal criminal liability, and a $11.45 million settlement with 700 shoreline property owners and other plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit.

The Melville, N.Y., based coastal barge operator was delivering No. 6 fuel oil from Philadelphia to Sandwich, Mass., in its tank barge B. No. 120 towed by the tugboat Evening Tide, when the barge grounded on a shoal in the western approach to Buzzards Bay and ruptured its hull.

Over the following weeks biologists estimated that thousands of birds died

as a result, according to the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service, one of the parties to the settlement.

FWS and state wildlife officials said effects from the spill included fouled shorelines that affected the breeding success of many shorebird species, reducing their future populations by thousands.

The spill led to a push by state officials to assert more control over oil shipments in Buzzards Bay, and resulted in struggles with federal authorities and the industry that have continued for years.

In 2004 Massachusetts lawmakers passed a measure that among other things would require escort tugs to accompany all single- and double-hull oil barges transiting Buzzards Bay. The federal government went to court, challenging what it viewed as a state usurpation of federal authority over maritime trade, as did industry advocates.

Barge operators, politicians, environmental groups and the Coast Guard are still at odds over the safety of fuel transport through the bay.

orway-based Statoil announced it will develop its 79,350-acre federal lease off New York as the Empire Wind project. With potential to generate up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of power, the company wants to sign a power purchase agreement with local utilities in 2018.

Statoil is moving to take advantage of powerful political backing from state leaders in the Northeast like New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who wants up to 2.4 GW of offshore wind power by 2030. But siting plans around Long Island are getting intense scrutiny.

The project is in its very early stages of evaluating the site, a triangular patch of ocean south of Long Beach, N.Y., flanked by shipping traffic separation lanes to the port of New York and New Jersey. Statoil officials say they are gathering detailed information about the seabed conditions, grid connection options and wind resources.

Statoil currently has seven offshore wind projects online or under development in Europe, including the world's first floating offshore wind project in Scotland. It uses a technology which could prove pivotal for offshore wind power for the U.S. west coast and Hawaii.

Ind., and C&C Marine & Repair Inc., Belle Chasse, La. The next task of moving them more efficiently took some creative thinking and engineering.

After consulting with JMS Naval Architects, Essex, Conn., Weeks officials made the decision to doublestack the barges for transport, with the tug George W riding on top of the second tier.

JMS developed a shipping, blocking, and sea-fastening plan. Also, modifications to the Weeks 99 to support and secure the sand scow barges needed to be made, plus calculations and drawings had to be completed to place the George W. on top.

The Weeks 99, a retrofitted tank barge, had gone through more modifications to work as a hopper barge, and planning for the stacked transit included an analysis of using her new bin walls to support the sand scow barges during shipping.

To make the trip, JMS Naval Architects had to perform a deadweight survey and stability analysis on the 300' deck barge.

JMS undertook updating the 300' barge’s stability documents, performing a deadweight survey and stability analysis, and then submitted the results to the American Bureau of Shipping for review and issuance of a new stability

letter.

The four new barges will be used by Weeks’ subsidiary sand mining business, North American Aggregates, based in Cranford, N.J. — K. Moore

early 150 miles north of Manhattan, a former brickyard that helped build New York City now assembles and ships critical pieces of its 21st century infrastructure.

Just yards from the Hudson River’s west bank in Coeymans, N.Y., bridge girders stand in rows, awaiting barge transport south to the metropolitan region. In the bright autumn light of October, other massive steel components, newly arrived from overseas suppliers, await assembly for a power plant project.

In a renovated 19th-century brick office building, Stephen Kelly is on the phone with his operations people and customers, sorting out the day’s work of unloading barges and planning the next tows.

Coeymans Marine Towing’s (CMT) newest

tug, the 82'×30'×10', 3,200-hp Daisy Mae, is en route to Jacksonville, Fla., to move a barge loaded with Hurricane Maria relief supplies to Puerto Rico.

“We’re a 24/7 operation for the most part, with four focuses in our business model,” said Kelly, vice president for sales and business development with the Carver Companies, the Altamont, N.Y.based parent company that includes CMT, the Port of Coeymans Marine Terminal, Coeymans Industrial Park and allied businesses.

President Carver Laraway purchased the old Powell & Minnock Brick Co. plant with a partner in 2002 after it closed a few months earlier. In its heyday, the Powell & Minnock plant manufactured millions of bricks a year. It was one of the last of about 100 brick manufacturing companies

along the Hudson River that mined the region’s clay deposits, barging their products down river to build a booming New York City in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The new owners’ vision was for a marine junction similar to those old commerce networks of canals, river and rail — adjacent today to the New York Thruway and interstates that link New England and Buffalo, N.Y., and the Great Lakes region, and a day’s tow down the Hudson to the city.

Now in its 10th year on the river, CMT operates seven tugs in addition to the Daisy Mae, ranging from the 80', 2,600-hp Mr. Jim to the 25', 600hp Three Sisters. They typically haul barges on 24-hour trips, much of the work being bulk cargo such as construction aggregate, stone and topsoil for major construction projects in the metropolitan region.

Bridge girder assemblies at the Port of Coeymans await delivery down the Hudson River.

NEW YORK ACREAGE “Our proximity to New York helps us,” said Kelly. “Down in New York it’s harder and harder to find space for building projects. They don’t have the acreage to store material, or enough deep-draft waterfront locations.”

It was that upstate opportunity that caught Laraway’s attention. Over the years the Carver Companies used environmentally friendly building materials like recycled scrap, aggregate and glass to clean up and redevelop the brick factory site, with 125 acres on

575-MW combined-cycle power plant in Queens, N.Y. The Queens job caught the attention of Public Service Electric & Gas, which was planning its new Sewaren 7 generating station in Woodbridge, N.J., another old industrial neighborhood without much room to spare.

PSE&G engineers chose Coeymans as the place to build a $195 million heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), the single biggest piece of their 600-MW gas-fired plant. An outside workforce of 350 arrived, doubling the number of people that usually work at the port for several months in 20162017, until the 130' tall, 4,000-shortton generator was complete.

Then, all CMT had to do was move the monolith 170 miles south — under bridges with 135' nominal minimum clearances. The Coeymans Marine team spent months consulting with shippers, pilots and the Coast Guard about the transit.

Metal Shark

Metal Shark delivers two water taxis to D.C.

First two of four new, aluminum ferries for Washington, D.C.

T

he first two passenger vessels built by Louisianabased shipbuilder Metal Shark for Entertainment Cruises’ Potomac Riverboat Co. have been delivered to Washington, D.C., and are now in service.

Metal Shark began construction on the vessels in March and completed them in six months.

“From the start, the Metal Shark team has been professional, organized, diligent and skilled,” Entertainment Cruises CEO Kenneth Svendsen said in the statement. “We have been pleased with the workmanship and attention to detail by all involved.”

With a draft of 4'3", the two 87'7"×21'4"×9'7", 149-passenger high-speed aluminum catamaran vessels Potomac Taxi I and Potomac Taxi II left Metal Shark’s Franklin, La., shipyard in mid-September. The water taxis motored along the Gulf of Mexico coastline and crossed Florida via Lake Okeechobee before proceeding north up the Atlantic coast to D.C. Main propulsion comes from twin Scania DI13 081M engines delivering 500 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The mains connect to Michigan Wheel 31.5"×33.5" nibral, 5-bladed wheels through Twin Disc MGXZ-5114 marine gears with 1.74:1 reduction ratios. The Subchapter T vessels were 30

WB_OTW_LINO.indd 30

designed by Alexandria, Va.-based BMT and feature an environmentally friendly low-wake/low-wash hull design.

The propulsion system moves the boats along the water at 24 knots. Ship’s service power comes from twin Cummins Onan 29QD-MDKDS gensets.

The boats have steering systems by Jastram and an electronics suite featuring products by Raymarine.

Capacities include 950 gals. of fuel and 100 gals. water.

Metal Shark’s original contract with Potomac Riverboat called for four of the same design vessels. Two have been delivered and two more are scheduled to be delivered next year.

The Taxi I and Taxi II began operations on Oct. 12 with runs from the Georgetown area of D.C. and Alexandria, Va., to The Wharf in D.C. for a grand opening ceremony.

Potomac Riverboat’s parent Entertainment Cruises is the largest dining and sightseeing cruise company in the U.S., with a fleet of 30 vessels that operate in over a dozen major U.S. cities.

Chris Allard, CEO of Metal Shark, said in a statement that the company has been great to work with and “we look forward to supporting them with additional on-time deliveries in 2018.” — Ken Hocke www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2017 • WorkBoat

Bisso Towboat takes delivery of 4,480-hp Z-drive tug from Main Iron Works he Liz Healy, third in a series of 60-ton bollard pull ASD tugboats, was delivered recently to Bisso Towboat, Luling, La., by Main Iron Works, Houma, La. The tug was christened in early November on the Mississippi River in New Orleans.

The 100'×38'×18' tug is powered by two Caterpillar 3516C Tier 3 main engines, each producing 2,240 hp at 1,600 rpm. The engines power two Rolls-Royce US 205 FP Z-drives featuring 90.6"×82.4", 4-bladed stainless steel propellers in stainless steel nozzles.

Other features include USCGapproved engine room monitoring and fire/smoke alarm systems, Simrad navigation/electronics, soundproof insulation throughout the engine room and crew quarters, stainless steel bitts and bow staple, and four bunkrooms with seven berths.

On deck, the tug has a new brownwater workhorse Series 230 assist winch from JonRie InterTech, Manahawkin, N.J. The winch features JonRie’s innovative independent drive level wind with a Logan clutch also installed. When the winch is heaving or paying out hawser the level wind drive is engaged.

When the tug is working under heavy ship assist loads the level wind is unclutched. This feature will help reduce the counter loading on the level wind when the tug is working with a ship.

The independent level wind will allow the spooler carriage to move faster than

the drum to cross-weave rope or adjust to any speed required.

The unit can be stopped and operated manually to any position on the drum.

The controls are all at hands length in the pilothouse.

The JonRie Series 230 winch also features a larger drum to accommodate more hawser (500' of 8") and has a brake rated at 300 tons. The winch has a line pull of 15 tons and a line speed of 100 fpm.

The system also comes complete with JonRie’s foot control to allow the master to run the winch without taking his hands off the Z-drive controls.

JonRie’s active heave compensation system allows the winch to pay out at a high speed in a controlled free wheel mode to help the tug maneuver in the strong Mississippi currents. The system includes a hawser scope meter and back light tension meter with dimmer for use during night operations on the river.

Tankage includes 30,163 gals. of diesel fuel; 1,826 gals. of lube oil and hydraulic oil; and 10,938 gals. potable water.

The new tug has a crew of four and carries an ABS International Loadline in addition to being ISM certified by ABS and USCG inspected/certified.

ake Assault Boats, Superior, Wis., recently built two fire and rescue boats for the San Bernardino County Fire Department in California. The versatile landing craft style vessels — one 28' and the other 26' — are equipped to handle a wide range of emergency response missions. Each fireboat is outfitted with twin 300-hp Mercury Verado outboard engines and includes the Skyhook Digital Anchor and Joystick Piloting systems. The boats feature a 1,500-gpm Darley pump (powered by a dedicated V-8 engine) along with a TFT monitor and three discharge ports. Each boat has a 63" hydraulically operated bow door (with an integrated ladder), dual dive doors, a davit crane with twin socket locations, and a full width T-top pilothouse.

The Navy and Coast Guard inteFire/rescue boats for California. grated program

office issued another request for proposal for a new class of heavy icebreakers. The RFP seeks shipbuilding industry input on the first prototype to be built, with an option for two follow-on ships. The new icebreakers would replace the 40-year-old Polar Star, the Coast Guard’s sole operation heavy icebreaker, starting by the mid-2020s.

Last February the Coast Guard awarded $20 million in fixed-price contracts to five U.S. shipyards for preliminary design studies. The contracts were awarded to Bollinger Shipyards LLC, Fincantieri Marine Group LLC, General Dynamics/National Steel and Shipbuilding Co., Huntington Ingalls Inc., and VT Halter Marine Inc. A final RFP is expected in fiscal year 2018, with expectations for a contract award in fiscal 2019.

The vessel is fully ADA complaint with four wheelchair spaces and an accessible bathroom, and also features a concession area, luggage rack, room for 10 bikes and a ticket counter.

The design is optimized for bow loading (the Champion has a draft of 4'2"), with double-width gates and doors.

The bow design integrates with the existing shore-based infrastructure and the wheelhouse is designed to meet strict visibility requirements, giving the captain a clear view of the foredeck.

Resilient mounts isolate the ferry’s superstructure to reduce noise and vibration in the cabin, allowing the vessel to exceed the contractual requirements.

OFFSHORE MARKET STILL DEPRESSED

T

his year has been another tough one for the offshore market.

November marked the threeyear point in the downtown, one of the most severe in the history of the U.S. offshore energy market.

The big question everyone keeps asking is when will it end? In early November, the price of oil was at $55 bbl, with some analysts predicting that WTI will rise to as much as $58 bbl by year’s end. If this occurs, it will be primarily attributed to Saudi Arabia’s ongoing effort to end a global supply glut.

The estimated price increase is also linked to expectations that U.S. crude inventories will drop as the year winds down. Unfortunately, those assumptions were somewhat dampened in late October due to a rise in U.S. production and inventory. Some now say that U.S. oil production may reach 10 million bpd.

There have been other positive signs recently, including a slight pickup in activity in the third quarter. But company executives, analysts and others, perhaps numb from three years of depressed conditions, are hesitant to say business is improving.

“We expected our third quarter results to show seasonal improvement, which they did,” Todd Hornbeck, chairman, CEO and president of Hornbeck Offshore Services, told analysts during its November earnings call, but “it’s a far cry from recovery or even long-term sustainability.”

The company posted a modest improvement in day rates and utilization for its OSVs and MPSVs, but Hornbeck said people should be “very cautious” about taking the quarterly results as a sign of “structural improvement” in the offshore market. “In fact, there’s been very little change in fundamentals for offshore activities in our core markets,” said Hornbeck.

Richard Sanchez, senior marine

analyst with IHS Markit-MarineBase in Houston, agreed.

“Last month (October) offshore activity picked up a little bit, but this month looks a bit down again,” Sanchez said. “Day rates are still very low.

But I get the feeling we should be close to a point where enough spare OSV capacity is removed from the market to give the vessel owners a bit of pricing power, enough to bring day rates above breakeven costs. But we could be at bottom for a long time.”

Many cite the main fundamental in the Gulf as proof — the rig count.

There are 25 floaters under contract in the Gulf, but an average of just 21 were working during the third quarter. This is still extremely low. Of big concern are day rates for rigs that are coming off pre-downturn contracts. About 70% are currently working at pre-downturn rates of $400,000 per day or more, Hornbeck said. As these rigs come off these contracts, rig operators are mainly seeing their equipment being renewed for short-term charters at rates a lot lower than their previous levels, some as low as $100,000 a day.

“So that tells us there is an appetite for rig utilization at extremely low day rates,” Hornbeck told analysts. This, he said, is needed so that things don’t get worse for OSV operators. “In other words, Gulf of Mexico conditions for OSVs could deteriorate further if demand for even low price rigs is not there or rig owners decide they would rather be idle than work at such low rig rates.”

Thus, Hornbeck Offshore and other operators are “paying close attention” to rig roll-offs.

“We think that something far more fundamental in the overall picture for oil supply and demand is needed to cause a sustained pickup in offshore drilling activity in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,” Hornbeck said. “While there has been a recent firming of oil prices, offshore operators are not likely to enter into long lead time, high-cost projects unless they have confidence that commodity prices are firm and likely to rise further.”

www.workboat.com • DECEMBER 2017 • WorkBoat

WB_CoverStory_LINO.indd 41

Sanchez agreed. “We are far from a market recovery and operators continue to restrict spending. Oil prices are looking good, but I suspect more onshore spending as we speak. I’ve heard that 2018 will be another year of an oil production glut. I don’t expect the oil companies to spend offshore until they have to. The cheaper barrel still lies onshore.” — David Krapf

SUBCHAPTER M HEADS TOWARD MAJOR DEADLINE

W

ith the first major deadline passed and the second looming, Subchapter M, which establishes safety regulations governing the inspection and safety management systems of towing vessels, became a reality this year.

Compliance with the safety rule will be costly and time consuming and comes while the industry is in a downturn.

The new rule was more than 10 years in the making. It requires formerly uninspected towing vessels that operate on the inland and coastal waterways to carry certificates of inspection (COI).

One of the most significant rules for the towing industry since operators were required to be licensed in 1972, it covers about 6,000 vessels and everything from lifesaving, fire protection, electrical and machinery systems to recordkeeping.

By July 20, towing vessels with keels laid or major conversions on or after that date had to meet Subchapter M requirements and get a COI prior to operating.

By July 20, 2018, all vessels must be in compliance with Subchapter M requirements, but COIs for 25% of a fleet can be phased-in over a four-year period through July 2022. However, if the Coast Guard boards a vessel and finds a Subchapter M violation, the operator will be cited even though the vessel may not need a COI for a few more years.

“I think it’s a blessing in disguise,” said Capt. Luke Guidry, owner of Lorris G. Towing and Danielle Marine Towing, Cut Off, La., which has 11 boats. “It’s what people want. It gives us a different degree of respect.”

Anticipating the rule, Guidry’s companies started gradually incorporating a lot of requirements into their vessels, spreading out the cost. “We’re going to be well prepared. Whatever older boats were working, we tightened up our

drydock inspection.”

They push red-flag barges, so “maintenance is everything for the boat.

The vetting process from barge lines is pretty stout to begin with,” Guidry said. “A lot of the requirements prior to anyone speaking about Subchapter M were customer driven.”

Oil companies are starting to frown on any equipment older than 30 years, said Jimmy LaFont, manager of Callais & Sons, Cut Off, La., which has six pushboats. They, too, have been making changes as boats go to the yard.

“Who wants to put $400,000 or $500,000 into an old boat? You don’t know if after you spend it, if the availability of jobs is going to be there.”

Early estimates for industry compliance were $14 million to $18 million annually over the phase-in period.

Operators say a good chunk of that may go for administration and audits.

To ensure Subchapter M compliance, operators can choose between a towing safety management system (TSMS) audited by a Coast Guard-approved third party or an annual Coast Guard inspection.

The question is how much needs to be done now and what can be done over time?

Joe Starck, president of The Great Lakes Towing Co., Cleveland, which has about 40 vessels, thinks most companies are underestimating the amount of work needed to meet the timeline.

Starck said going with a third party made sense because of the scale of their operation — they’re in 11 different ports. “To put that onus on the Coast Guard doesn’t make any sense,”

he said.

Stevens Towing, Yonges Island, S.C., with 12 vessels that do inland, coastwise and ocean towing, is going with the Coast Guard. “We know how the Coast Guard approaches things.

We’re not afraid of how the Coast Guard does things. They are a true independent third party,” said Bos Smith, vice president of operations.

The challenge is mainly the number of Coast Guard inspectors available.

The agency expects to have enough inspectors. “We haven’t assigned more people, but we have definitely shifted the focus of our staff members to Subchapter M,” said Capt. Matt Edwards, the Coast Guard’s chief of commercial vessel compliance. “We all have to be patient. I expect there will be some bumps along the road.”

HURRICANES STIR THE JONES ACT POT

U

.S. mariners provided critical relief during the most destructive hurricane season in a dozen years — and promptly faced a storm of their own over the Jones Act. The Merchant Marine Act of 1920, and its requirement that cargo between U.S. ports to be moved in U.S.-built and crewed ships, suddenly became an unlikely focal point after Hurricane Maria’s Sept. 20 landfall in Puerto Rico.

Within days, the Jones Act — and allegations it would hamper Puerto Rico’s recovery — was up for debate, with everyone from Gov. Ricardo Rossello to Weather Channel meteorologist Paul Goodloe chiming in on national television.

Some fallacies crept into the dialogue, like the notion that all foreign cargo must first go to Florida before landing in Puerto Rico. But even after determining that there was more than enough U.S.-flag shipping capacity, the Trump administration under intense political pressure granted Rossello’s request for a 10-day waiver of Jones Act cabotage rules.

Almost immediately, longtime critics of the Jones Act pushed for more, seeing in Puerto Rico’s crisis an opportunity for permanent change and opening the U.S.-flag trade to more foreign competition.

“Now Congress must repeal this law to aid long-term recovery,” said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who promptly introduced legislation with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to permanently exempt Puerto Rico from the U.S.-flag cabotage rules.

Jones Act defenders in Congress took up the challenge. “The concerns about the situation in Puerto Rico are real. But we must focus our attention on the actions that can deliver real results on the island … waiving the Jones Act will not help and, in fact, could hinder the response,” Rep. Dun-

can Hunter, R-Calif., and Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif, ranking members of the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, wrote in a letter to other House members.

Industry supporters like the American Maritime Partnership laid out their Jones Act talking points, seeking to debunk misconceptions.

Shippers and maritime unions pointed to facts on the ground, where Puerto Rico’s blocked roads, washed-out bridges and broken communications kept local truckers from reaching the port of San Juan to pick up supplies.

The Teamsters union flew volunteer drivers to the island to help get material flowing to towns.

“There is no shortage of U.S.-flag tonnage available to serve the island,” said the Maritime Labor Alliance, but a “lack of ability to distribute critical supplies food, medicine, water and fuel

to local communities from the ports.”

But the circumstances of Puerto Rico’s disaster also brought a chorus of other voices to the debate: political opponents of the Trump administration, Congressional conservatives skeptical of disaster aid spending, longtime critics of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and Puerto Rican community leaders, both on the island and in mainland U.S. cities.

he Coast Guard is making a dent in the illegal charter business, but it has a ways to go to rein in the nationwide proliferation of unlicensed and uninspected boats.

A summer crackdown in the Chicago area slapped 22 operators with citations totaling more than $50,000 and orders to stop operating until they comply with the law.

“We decided that since these vessels were operating illegally, we would put a Captain of the Port order on them.

The operators were not drug-tested, a lot weren’t credentialed, and there was no safety equipment on board,” said Lt. Katharine Woods, chief, inspection division, for the Coast Guard’s Marine Safety Unit in Chicago. “They were truly operating in unsafe ways.”

CRACKDOWN ON ILLEGAL CHARTERS

Coast Guard personnel verify proper documentation and interview a boat operator and deckhand during a safety inspection at Monroe Harbor in Chicago in August.

With almost 200 boats, Chicago has the largest fleet of inspected small passenger vessels in the country, Woods said. They get tips about possibly illegal vessels from legal operators, mariners and recreational boaters, and they’ve had passengers call in and ask how they know if a vessel is legal.

“Our operation has yielded more compliance,” Woods said. “The Coast Guard is not in the business of trying to create revenue for the government.

We’re in the business of trying to keep people safe on the water.”

The crackdown, done in coordination

Barges Dry Docks Work Boats

with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, has increased the number of applications for inspection from people who thought they were in compliance but weren’t. Over the summer, Woods was receiving inquiries every day.

Overall, they averaged 15-20 a month, which she termed “very significant.”

“The conversations we’ve had so far with operators indicate there’s a lot of outreach the Coast Guard has to do,” Woods said.

Mike Borgstrom, president, Wendella Sightseeing Co., a Chicago tour boat business, thinks there’s hope.

Let’s make plans.

The Coast Guard “really did a great job this year,” he said. But “there’s still a long way to go, still a bunch of people under the radar.”

He’s seen fewer illegal operators than in the past. “I think the message has become clear,” Borgstrom said. “People out there honestly didn’t think they were breaking the law.”

Under federal law, a boat must be

inspected if it carries more than six people and at least one paying passenger. Operators must be licensed to legally carry up to six paying riders.

Commercial operators with six or more onboard — with at least one paying — must have a master’s license and a Certificate of Inspection (COI).

Bareboat charters may carry a maximum of 12 without a COI. Prompted

by the increase in ride-share websites and boat-sharing smartphone applications, the Coast Guard this past summer issued a clarification of the bareboat charter law stating that neither the owner nor an agent can be involved in operating the charter. This includes obtaining and paying the crew.

If a customer doesn’t have “full possession and control of the vessel,” then the Coast Guard has to enforce vessel inspections, documentation and crew credentialing requirements.

Even with tips, the Coast Guard isn’t always successful in nabbing illegal operators, especially if no one admits they paid to get on. “A lot of times we board the vessel, and they’re all friends.

It’s what you can prove,” Lt. Cmdr.

Lisa Hartley, chief of the Coast Guard’s investigation division in Miami, told a recent regional meeting of the Passenger Vessel Association (PVA).

“We do take every report seriously,” she said, urging operators to get a suspicious vessel’s name and registration number, location, number of people on board and “pictures, pictures, pictures.”

Maximum penalties per day can add up: no COI — $4,591; no credential — $18,107; and no drug and alcohol testing program — $7,370.

“It is up to all of us in this room to crush them out of existence,” Eric Christensen, PVA’s director of regulatory affairs and risk management, said.

“It doesn’t cost them as much to operate illegally. It’s not a proper playing field.”

He said he’s talked to some boat owners who admitted they never would have bought a boat if they couldn’t have rented it out. — D.K. DuPont

U.S. Coast Guard

The Trump administration early this year proposed a $1.3 billion cut in the USCG’s budget, $500 million of which would come from cutting the agency’s ship construction allocation. The likeliest target would be the elimination of the planned ninth 418' national security cutter (NSC) being built at Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding, Pascagoula, Miss.

Politicians and others say the administration showed a lack of understanding of the Coast Guard’s maritime and defense missions when it floated the deep cut in the service’s budget, an idea that was swiftly withdrawn under opposition from Congress. In the end, the Coast Guard’s proposed budget stayed flat at just over $9 billion, but it made for some congressional handwringing.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., chairman of the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Merchant Marine wrote in a letter that the proposal con-

flicted with Trump’s own policy priorities to beef up the U.S. military.

“It’s nonsensical to pursue a policy of rebuilding the armed forces while proposing large reductions to the U.S. Coast Guard budget,” he wrote.

Frank LoBiondo, R-N.J., a subcommittee member, questioned Trump’s advisors who laid out the proposal.

“Whoever is advising President Trump that the service could do more with even less is detached from the facts and reality on the ground.”

Within a week of the 14% cut that

the Office of Management and Budget proposed for the Coast Guard, administration budget director Mick Mulvaney denied that the cuts to the Coast Guard’s budget had ever been considered.

The NSCs patrol the eastern Pacific in joint law enforcement operations to detect smugglers that move cocaine by speedboats and semisubmersibles. At Ingalls, a spokesman said the shipyard had already purchased long lead materials and begun pre-construction of the latest NSC. Sen. Thad Cochran,

R-Miss., got $640 million attached to a 2015 spending bill to pay for the additional NSC. Instead of cutting the planned NSC, Hunter said that the service could use five more. “The termination of this contract is especially disconcerting when considered alongside the operational successes these assets have demonstrated, not to mention the hundreds of high paying American jobs that would be lost,” he wrote.

In May, Trump gave a commencement address at the Coast Guard Academy, praising the agency’s efforts, particularly when it comes to fighting to secure U.S. borders and fighting drug smugglers. Then in August the president gave high marks to the Coast Guard for its response efforts during Hurricane Harvey.

mandant Adm. Paul Zukunft insists that the agency needs more robust funding, but was left out of Trump’s drive to increase military spending by $54 billion.

Hunter proposed in March that the Trump administration consider moving the Coast Guard from the Department of Homeland Security to the Department of Defense. He introduced H.R. 1726, the “Coast Guard Improvement and Reform Act of 2017,” that could pave the way for reorganization.

In a letter to the president, he wrote, “I urge your administration to seriously consider moving the Coast Guard to the Department of Defense, and I stand ready to work with you to provide the necessary authorities. First and foremost, the Coast Guard is a military force. It deserves to be housed in a department that recognizes the importance of its mission, and has the capabilities to properly advocate for greatly needed resources.”

Ironically, top Coast Guard officials disagreed with Hunter’s proposal. Despite its perennial shortages of money and resources, the Coast Guard’s proper place is within the Department of Homeland Security, not the Department of Defense, officials said.

Zukunft also said Homeland Security is a good fit for the Coast Guard, given its missions. — Ken Hocke

containership, and vessel operator Tote Services.

But the report is also critical of the Coast Guard and its Alternative Compliance Program (ACP) for safety inspections, calling for much tougher training standards and oversight of ship operators and third-party surveyors.

Davidson’s initial mistake was to drop the ship’s course southward of the usual course from Jacksonville, Fla., to San Juan, Puerto Rico, thinking it would safely pass Joaquin. But instead “the master’s southern deviation ultimately steered El Faro almost directly towards the strengthening hurricane,” despite concern from mates who were worried about the changing storm conditions, the board found.

The board said that more timely weather information updates could have helped the El Faro captain and crew. The Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board are recom-

The 40-year-old ship was equipped with open lifeboats — safety equipment grandfathered in because of the ship’s age, but unusable in hurricane conditions and the ship’s 15° list before the El Faro capsized.

The board of inquiry called for a review of lifeboat standards, and upgrading all U.S. vessels to the

safety recommendations include requiring every personal flotation device be fitted with a personal locator beacon — emergency transmitters that lead rescuers to a person in the water. The board also wants to see voyage data recorders redesigned to float free in a sinking, much like emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) transmitters.

findings showed extensive corrosion damage that ABS and company officials had missed and a likely factor in why the El Faro flooded and capsized.

After the sinking the El Yunque was withdrawn from Puerto Rico service.

“Based on the results of the Coast Guard traveling inspector ACP oversight exams that were conducted in 2015 and 2016, it is clear that multiple U.S. cargo vessels were operating for prolonged periods in a substandard material condition,” the board warned.

“Although the Coast Guard’s focused oversight on the ACP targeted vessels corrected the most egregious cases of non-compliance, a seminal change in the overall management and execution of the program is urgently needed to ensure safe conditions are sustained on the enrolled U.S. commercial vessels.”

President Trump has publicly recognized the importance of the U.S. waterways.

tance of the waterways, and the need for infrastructure improvements.

In June, Trump appeared on the banks of the Ohio River, and as a coal barge sat idle on the river behind him, he denounced the poor state of the nation’s locks and dams and the frequent delays that affect the shipping of coal, oil and steel. He promised to include waterways in his yet-to-be announced national infrastructure overhaul plan.

“The president’s visit to the Ohio River was the first time in recent memory that [a president] has given such visibility to our inland waterways transportation system,” said Michael Toohey, president and CEO of the Waterways Council Inc., an industry group that advocates for federal funds for the inland waterways. “We await the release of the president's infrastructure initiative, whether as a statement

Ocean Charting Services

of principles or as a comprehensive legislative initiative.”

Aside from infrastructure, the industry finds a friend in the Trump administration when it comes to regulatory reform, trade policy, expanding domestic energy production, and reviving the coal industry, which relies greatly on barge transportation.

As coal-fired power plants have closed and barge shipments have declined in recent years due to cheap natural gas supplies, the barge industry’s coal business has taken a big hit.

“There is a small rebound underway in the coal markets,” said Toohey. “The Corps of Engineers ... show an uptick in waterborne movement of coal. The recent administration announcement to withdraw from the Clean Power Plan will also have a beneficial effect. How much of a benefit the Trump adminis-

tration makes is yet to be determined.

The most likely outcome is slowing the rate of conversion to natural gas.”

Trump also intends to expand opportunities for fossil fuel development, which will lead to more energy transportation. This could benefit tanker operators as well as the struggling offshore oil industry, said Bryant Gardner, a maritime attorney with Winston & Strawn in Washington, D.C. “The inland tug and barge segment would benefit, not only from oil transportation, but from waterways transportation of dry bulk coal products, which the president has repeatedly said he would stimulate,” Gardner said.

Trump’s promise to rollback environmental and other regulations that he believes have shackled the U.S. economy over the past eight years is also a positive for the maritime industry, observers say.

Thomas Allegretti, president and CEO of the American Waterways Operators, called it a “bold initiative to streamline regulations,” while Toohey said reforms will help “unleash our economy” and in doing so increase river transportation.

Changes to trade policy could be a double-edged sword for the industry.

Canceling trade agreements without replacement could lead to less maritime traffic and spark a potential trade war with China, which would have a negative impact on global shipping and U.S ports, Gardner said.

The industry also notes that several of Trump’s cabinet-level officials have maritime backgrounds and are likely to be responsive to their issues.

Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao brings experience at both the Maritime Administration and the Federal Maritime Commission to her cabinet post and has family ties to the industry, while Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross owns a stake in Diamond S Shipping Group, which operates petroleum tankers, and dry bulk shipper Nautical Bulk Holdings. — Pamela Glass

he Coast Guard’s beleaguered icebreaker program has taken significant steps in its quest for newbuilds. Among them: • The service has decided not to reactivate the Polar Sea because it “would require substantially more effort and resources than was needed to extend the service life of Polar Star,” spokesman Alana Miller said. So, all efforts will focus on keeping the aging 399'×83'×31' Polar Star in shape to meet heavy icebreaking requirements as sistership Polar Sea continues to serve as a parts donor.

• Since spring, the National Research Council of Canada has been tank testing two Coast Guard conceptual models at its ice tank and evaluating their ice performance including resistance, propulsion and maneuverability, an NRC spokesman said. The Coast Guard and Navy will conduct additional tests to evaluate icebreaker performance in open water at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, Md. • One-year design studies of hull forms, structures, propulsion and electrical systems, costs and timelines

will continue through February. The $20 million fixed-price contracts for the studies went to Bollinger Shipyards LLC, Lockport, La.; Fincantieri Marine Group LLC, Washington, D.C.; General Dynamics/NASSCO, San Diego; Huntington Ingalls Inc., Pascagoula, Miss.; and VT Halter Marine Inc., Pascagoula, Miss.

• In October the Coast Guard and Navy released a draft request for proposals for design and construction of one heavy polar icebreaker with options for two more. RFD responses were due in mid-December and will be factored into another RFP early next year, the Coast Guard’s Miller said.

“Contract award is planned for fiscal year 2019, subject to appropriations.”

Money has been a sticking point as icebreaker advocates in Congress have worked to convince their colleagues

that the U.S. has serious military and national interests in the Antarctic and the increasingly busy Arctic.

The Coast Guard said it needs at least two new heavy icebreakers for continued access to both polar regions, and ideally would like a fleet of three heavy and three medium icebreakers.

Estimates for new heavy icebreakers reach up to $1 billion. But Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Paul F. Zukunft said he’s “very confident we will drive the initial acquisition cost of this platform south of a billion dollars.”

The yards awarded the study contracts “are ahead of the power curve in doing modeled ice trials, looking at parent craft designs, and where you might even be able to make tradeoffs,” he said in August at a Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) discussion of the service’s priorities.

HIGHER HORSEPOWER TUGS FOR BIGGER SHIPS

S

hips keep getting bigger. The average size of a containership has doubled compared to what it was two decades ago, according to Clarkson Research.

In July, the 1,200', 13,208-TEU, OOCL Berlin set the record as the largest ship to call at the Port of New York and New Jersey. It’s expected that ships as large as 18,000-TEUs will eventually call at the port.

Tugs like New York Harbor’s 104'×40', 6,772-hp Capt. Brian A. McAllister, are handling these behemoths.

The Capt. Brian, designed by Jensen Maritime Consultants in Seattle and built by Horizon Shipbuilding in Bayou La Batre, Ala., is about one-tenth the size of the new containerships, but she makes up for it with power.

Tugs are being built with a lot more horsepower than a few years ago. The Capt. Brian, the most powerful McAllister tug in New York, has twin 3,386hp Caterpillar 3516E diesels.

Another Jensen design, a 110'×42' tug, is being built at Diversified Marine in Portland Ore. for Shaver Transportation in Portland. It will have a pair of GE 12V 250s, each rated at 4,200 hp, and be capable of generating 110 tons bollard pull. “That’s a lot going into a small package,” said Jonathan Parrot, Jensen’s director of new design development.

The increase in power for new tugs is needed to handle today’s larger containerships, not just for docking work but also to link up with a vessel traveling at 10 to 12 knots. “I’ve seen where tugs intercepted ships at 12 knots,” said Parrot. “To think you can hook up at 12 knots without a problem — maybe on a calm day — but you are beginning to

“It’s a new innovation,” said Rollie Webb, senior vice president at Robert Allan. It is designed to offer exceptional omni-directional maneuverability.

Tugs are becoming larger not just for the extra power that is being installed but to accommodate the stuff that goes with bigger engines.

An engine-room design headache is making room for an aftertreatment system. That includes an air compressor capable of running around the clock, and “you’ve got to find space for another 10% of fuel capacity, for the diesel exhaust fluid or urea,” said Bruce Washburn, executive vice president, Washburn & Doughty, East Boothbay, Maine. He figures it will be a year or two before tug designers settle on the best way to fit everything in.

One possible problem with increased horsepower is when a tug moves in against the side of the ship during docking. “Are ships designed to take that kind of force?” asked Washburn. In many cases they aren’t, which is why many ships have black patches on the side with arrows pointing to them and letters reading “tugs only here.” Miss that spot and a tug with a lot of power could leave a two-foot dent, he said.

Ultimately, the move towards finding out how much power can be put in a tug without losing efficiency or jeopardizing its safety involves several factors. “You’ve got to have incremental capacity in drives, incremental capability in winches, ropes, lines and even more precise control,” said Webb.

“There’s a whole basket of things changing rapidly with the impact of these huge ships.”

ew Orleans-based E.N. Bisso & Son Inc. took delivery of its new 5,362-hp, 80'×38'×15' azimuth stern drive tug Gladys B at Signet Shipbuilding & Repair, Pascagoula, Miss., in late 2016. Designed by Robert Allan Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, the new Z-drive tug, which is working in the Mississippi River, is powered by two MTU 16V4000 M64, Tier 3 diesels, putting out 2,681-hp each.

The engines connect to Rolls-Royce US205, fixed pitch Z-drives with 94.49' 4-bladed nibral propellers in Kort nozzles. The propulsion package gives the tug a bollard pull of 60 MT ahead and 56 MT astern. The boat started out as a tug for Signet’s fleet, but E.N. Bisso and Signet had been in discussions about building a new tug, so Bisso decided to buy it before the Tier 4 engine regulations went into effect in 2017. Capacities include 28,649 gals. of fuel and 8,756 gals. water. On deck is a Markey DEPGF-42S, 50-hp electric bow winch. There are accommodations for six crewmembers in three staterooms. The Gladys B is classed ABS Maltese Cross A1, Maltese Cross AMS, FiFi Capable, Escort. E.N. Bisso held the formal christening for the Gladys B on the New Orleans riverfront in September 2017.

aritime Applied Physics Corp.

(MAPC), Baltimore, delivered the first of what will be a new fleet of 10 water taxis for the city in late 2016.

The 55'×12'9"×3'1" Key’s Anthem is a 49-passenger vessel that pays homage to the past while embracing the future.

Sagamore Ventures acquired Harbor Boating, operators of the city’s current water taxi fleet, in August 2016 and promptly began an ambitious newbuild program. The first boat, Key’s Anthem, debuted during Fleet Week in October 2016 and marks a departure from the simple pontoon boats that comprise the current fleet. MAPC is a 30-year-old employee-owned research and development company best known for its advanced hulls, unmanned marine and land vehicles, and motion compensated land, air, and marine vehicle launch and recovery systems. The water taxi project is its first commercial venture.

The new boats will evolve as the 10boat order progresses. Key’s Anthem is powered by twin Beta Marine diesel engines but future boats will be dieselelectric hybrids. The Beta engines are rated at just 38-hp each, enough power to provide an adequate fuel-efficient propulsion system. The ZF 25A 2.71:1 reduction gears turn 18"×12" bronze 4-bladed props. There is no generator onboard, but two Balmer 24 VDC alternators supply ship’s service power.

he new 78'×24'×4' ferry Turtle built by Miller Marine Inc. for Fire Island Ferries hauls equipment and material across Great South Bay to New York’s Fire Island. It’s a deck boat with an elevated pilothouse. Coast Guard certified for Subchapter T operation, the 82-dwt ferry can carry eight passengers. But it is built primarily for cargo and containers, with a 78'×20' deck, a bow ramp, and 12-ton National deck crane. Donald L. Blount and Associates, Chesapeake, Va., helped with the new design. Designed to ABS and Coast Guard standards, Miller Marine came up with the following package: twin Cummins QSL9 engines putting out a total 580 hp at 1,800 rpm, and Twin Disc MGX-5114 HD marine gears with 2.5:1 reduction ratios. Two 36"×30", 4-bladed ZF propellers are recessed in tunnels to keep the draft at 4’. The combination yields a service speed of 9 knots — and nimble maneuverability, which sometimes can be difficult with recessed propellers. There’s tankage for 1,400 gals. of fuel. In the pilothouse are controls by Glendenning Products, Conway, S.C., and the steering system by Miller Marine. Electronics include Furuno radar, Garmin GPS and Raymarine VHF radios.

Ship’s service power comes from a Cummins Onan 9-kW generator.

utfitting Bay Welding Services’ latest passenger boat wasn’t that

involved: a pair of Suzuki 250-hp outboards, some basic electronics, seats for 20 passengers and two crew, and lighting. But the 30'×12' aluminum monohull’s mission meant that Bay Welding couldn’t build a standard offthe-shelf design and expect it to work.

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

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

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

It’s about 20 miles round trip. With 22 passengers, the boat easily cruises at 22 knots. Another design consideration was that the lake could also get quite shallow as you approach the shore.

So while the hull has an operational draft of 2', jack plates on the outboards allow it to operate in 16" of water. The Alaska Nellie went into service in May 2017.

The tugs have drafts of 18'6". Seabulk said this is the first time ARTs, which features triangular propulsion to deliver optimum maneuverability, will be used in the U.S. Seabulk is a unit

of Seacor Holdings Inc. Seacor said they decided to introduce the ART in the U.S. because it represents the next generation of highly maneuverable tugs that provide an ideal solution for LNG export terminals and other applications that demand safe moorings. The tugs, named Trident, Triton and Trinity, work out of Seabulk locations at U.S. Gulf and Florida East Coast ports. Main propulsion will come from three Caterpillar 3512C, Tier 3 diesel engines, producing 1,910 hp at 1,600 rpm each.

The Cats connect to three Schottel SRP 1210 Z-drives. The propulsion package will give the tugs a running speed of 12.5 knots. Whereas a typical sterndrive tug provides power from just two drive units, the ART has three strategically positioned azimuth propulsion units. This provides full redundancy and maximum maneuverability while dividing the installed power among a trio of smaller units that combine for a guaranteed bollard pull of 80 tons,

Alaskan fisherman Ken Duffus knew exactly what he wanted in his new boat: fast speed to get to and from the grounds, even with a full load of fish. That’s what he got with Pacific Power Group’s propulsion package for his new longliner/stern picker Highlander. At delivery trials, the twin Volvo Penta D11 625-hp engines with water jets achieved 32.5 mph with a load of 8,000 lbs.

afe Boats International’s 35'×10' aluminum multimission interceptor (MMI) vessel gets its name from its ability to be used in a number of applications, including maritime

border protection and port security, coastal patrol, alien migrant interdiction, search and rescue, smuggling interdiction, special operations and more. Three Mercury Verado 350s with joystick piloting powered the boat at the 2016 International WorkBoat Show. The propulsion package shoots the boat across the water at a maximum speed of 50-plus knots and a range of 200-plus miles. The boat’s lightship weight is 10,725 lbs. and has a capacity (people, fuel and cargo) of 5,961 lbs.

The MMIs can operate in sea state five and a survivable sea state of 6.

G

ulf Craft LLC, Franklin, La., delivered the 194'×32'×15' aluminum fast support vessel Liam J. McCall to Seacor Marine, Houma, La., in January 2017. Designed by Incat Crowther, the new FSV is part of what Seacor calls its Express Plus-Plus-class FSVs. The Liam J. McCall has a 9.08' draft and is designed to carry a crew of 16 and up to 58 offshore workers. Its mission is high-speed passenger and cargo transport and emergency evacuation. The Liam J. McCall has tankage for 62,700 gals. of fuel oil; 5,600 gals. water; and 650 gals. lube oil.

The FSV’s rear cargo deck measures 125'6"×26'6" and can haul up to 350 LT of freight. Main propulsion for the FSV comes from five Cummins QSK60 diesel engines, producing 2,680 hp at 1,900 rpm each. The mains connect to HamiltonJet HT810 waterjets through Twin Disc MGX-61500SC marine gears with 2.56:1 reduction ratios. The package gives the boat a light speed

YARD TUG Marine Group Boat Works

G

eneral Dynamics NASSCO’s San Diego shipyard is building a new 38'×15'×5'6" yard tug at Marine Group Boat Works new solar-powered yard in National City, Calif. Jensen Maritime in Seattle designed the tug.

The new boat’s dual 410-hp Cummins QSL9M Tier-3 diesels run much cleaner than the old yard tug. The twin Cummins when matched up with ZF 325-1 marine gears with 2.97:1 ratios that spin 38"×26" props on 3" Aquamet 22 shafts, should produce between 18,000 lbs. and 20,000 lbs. of bollard pull and a top speed of 9 to 11 knots.

Flanking rudders will provide much of that maneuverability and allow the tug to work in very tight places, such as around the shipyard’s piers. Towing bitts are in front of and aft of the pilothouse, which is outfitted with a fly bridge. The pilothouse has an unobstructed 300° view of the water. Jensen worked closely with the builder to help keep the cost down. There’s a lot of cut plate here. The idea was to eliminate the number of brackets and the amount of angle, customizing the new boat for the shipyard. MGBW was expected to deliver the new yard tug in the summer.

CREWBOAT-STYLE FERRY Gulfstream Shipbuilding

Gulfstream Shipbuilding

G

ulfstream Shipbuilding, Freeport, Fla., has been awarded a contract through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for a passenger/vehicle ferry to service New York and Connecticut waters. The 118'×27'×10'9" crewboat-style vessel

will transport passengers, freight and vehicles in and around Eastern Long Island Sound and Gardiner’s Bay. The welded aluminum, monohull, diesel propelled, quad screw passenger/vehicle ferry includes a 6'6" draft and a 735 sq. ft. cargo deck. Working with C. Fly Marine Services, Gulfstream and its design team incorporated key design elements to meet and exceed its “Critical Vessel Objective.” Main propulsion will come from four Caterpillar C32 diesel engines, producing 1,300 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The Cats will be connected to 40" 4-bladed, nibral wheels through ZF 3050A marine gears, giving the new ferry a running speed of 26 knots. For added maneuverability, the vessel will be fitted with a 75-hp Wesmar hydraulic dual prop thruster. Gulfstream’s hull design is similar to that of a Gulf Coast crewboat, with a diminished cargo deck overall and a narrower beam at the waterline to reduce overall resistance at semi-displacement speeds.

A sharp entry and moderate dead rise will provide a comfortable ride platform. Ship’s service power will be the responsibility of twin John Deere GK4045-powered gensets, sparking 65 kW of electricity each.

A

ll American Marine is building a new 128'×30' hybrid-electric 600-passenger aluminum monohull vessel for the Red and White Fleet in San Francisco. The Enhydra will be the first aluminum hulled, lithium-ion battery-electric hybrid passenger vessel built from the keel up under Coast Guard Subchapter K regulations and the latest guidelines for structural fire protection. The vessel is specifically designed for harbor tours of San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Guests on board the Enhydra will have views of the bay and cityscape from each of the three decks. The second level offers a full wrap around viewing deck with access to the enlarged bow foredeck. The top deck is completely open and offers plenty of outdoor seating. Bellingham, Wash.-based All American partnered with BAE Systems to design and integrate the complete battery-electric hybrid system.

BAE will supply its HybriDrive propul-

sion system that includes a generator, control system, and AC electric traction motor. The generator will mount to a variable speed Cummins QSL9 diesel engine, producing 410 hp at 2,100 rpm.

The motor generator offers dieselelectric operation of the AC traction motor, which is coupled directly to the propulsion shaft. With this configuration, torque is immediately available for the propeller and the speed can be precisely controlled without the need for a reduction gear.

The hybrid system will also utilize battery power from two 80-kW lithium-ion battery packs. The Corvus Energy batteries are supplied under its next generation Orca Energy line. The HybridDrive system can automatically utilize full electric battery operation at slower speeds and when maneuvering in and out of the harbor. At higher speeds, the generator will automatically engage and augment the additional power demands of the traction motor.

the 52.5'×16.7'×4.8' boat in late 2016.

It’s a Chesapeake-class design from C. Raymond Hunt Associates, New Bedford, Mass. The Huron Spirit is the second pilot boat Gladding-Hearn has delivered to the Lake Pilots Association. The Huron Spirit is powered with a pair of 602-hp Cummins QSM11 engines matched up with Twin Disc MGX-5114A Quick Shift gears that spin Brunton 30", 5-bladed nibral props. That will give the Huron Spirit a top speed of 25 knots. Operating near that speed, the boat’s Humphree Interceptor with automatic trim optimization adjusts a boat’s trim at a given speed for a given fuel load, which should result in fuel savings. The wheelhouse features Furuno electronics and also has four Llebroc pilot seats and a helm seat. In those cold northern winters, a pair of Heatercraft 40,000-btu units will heat the wheelhouse. Another 40,000-btu heater is in the fo’c’sle. A 120,000-btu diesel-fired heater will pre-

Main propulsion will come from twin Yamaha F300 4.2L V-6 300-hp outboard motors, capable of a top speed over 40 mph.

The firefighting system will feature a compact Hale 80FC pump flowing up to 3,000 gpm, which will be powered by a dedicated 6.6L Duramax V-8 diesel engine. The fire pump will include a 6" main discharge that feeds a number of outlets, including bow- and sternmounted TFT Hurricane monitors, each capable of producing 1,250 gpm.

The 11' pilot master cabin is designed to offer the operator enhanced outward visibility and will include a 15,000-btu rooftop AC unit, an adjustable (and full suspension) operator’s seat, additional bench seating, and SCBA mounting brackets.

LAUNCH BARGE Weeks Marine

Kirk Moore

W

eeks Marine Inc., Cranford, N.J., has converted one of its deck barges into a caisson launch barge

for McNally Construction, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. McNally is a wholly owned subsidiary of Weeks. The former Weeks 246 is now a 250'×75'×16' work platform that can double as a transport and heavy lift ro/ro barge, with capacity up to 5,000 tons. At Weeks’ Greenville yard in Jersey City, N.J., workers installed 1,600' of internal piping running from each compartment to a 16" sea chest header pipe. Two 16" gate valves on the port and starboard sea chests supply water through the pipeline, varying from 6" to 12" in diameter. The system, controlled from an operator’s station and valve manifold 20' above deck, floods and de-ballasts compartments at the same rate, keeping the barge level all through roughly 90-minute cycles of submergence and surfacing. JMS Naval Architects developed the design.

Vancouver-based Robert Allan Ltd. did the design work for the tugs and the barge modifications making extensive use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). At the lowest point on the amidships deck of the tug, the hull has a molded depth of 12'. A poop deck aft has flush removal hatches above the two Rolls-Royce US105-P9 Z-drives.

Forward, a raised forecastle deck contains the port and starboard Articouple coupling pins manufactured by Japan’s Taisei Engineering Consultants Inc. The engines, set well aft, are a pair of V-12, IMO Tier II certified, Cummins K38-M diesels each generating 850 hp (634 kW) continuous at 1,800 rpm.

The carbon fiber shafts pass through a bulkhead to the port and starboard Z-drive rooms. The Rolls-Royce drives have 63" propellers in nozzles.

aster Boat Builders, Bayou La Batre, Ala., delivered the first of three 98'6×43'6"×15'7" Robert Allan Ltd.-designed Advanced Rotortug (ART 80-98US) tugs to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Seabulk Towing in January. Whereas a typical stern-drive tug provides power from just two drive units, ART tugs have three strategically positioned azimuth propulsion units.

The new tugs feature triangular propul-

sion. The Trident is the first tug built

by Master Boat since the 1980s and the yard had to take a different approach than the one they use to build supply vessels, which the yard has specialized in since the 1980s. This also involved the installation of equipment that Master Boat had not previously worked with such as Schottel Z-drives, JonRie towing/escort winches, and an Alphatron integrated bridge system.

Main propulsion comes from three Caterpillar 3512C, Tier 3 diesels, producing 1,910 hp at 1,600 rpm each.

The Cats connect to three Schottel SRP 1210 Z-drives. The propulsion package gives the tugs a running speed of 12.5 knots. Ship’s service power comes from twin Cat gensets sparking 150 kW of electricity each. On deck are two JonRie InterTech towing winches.

The forward hawser escort winch is a Series 230 outfitted with 450' of Samson 12 2-5/8"×8" HMPE rope. The aft combination towing and hawser winch

ALASKA PILOT BOAT Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding

Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding

G

ladding-Hearn Shipbuilding has been contracted to build a 75'7"×20'6"×3'11" Galveston-class pilot boat for the Southwest Alaska Pilots Association in Homer, Alaska.

When the boat is completed in July 2018, it will be the first pilot boat built at the Somerset, Mass., boatyard for Alaska. The boat will operate out of Valdez with runs of about 25 miles into the Gulf of Alaska to reach the boarding station. The C. Raymond Hunt deep-V hull design is based on two boats built for the Galveston, Texas, pilots. The boat going to Alaska is a bit longer, 75' as opposed to 70'. The extra waterline length is needed to carry heavier hull plating and tighter frame spacing that’s needed to handle ice, debris and tree trunks. The wheelhouse is outfitted with six Llebroc seats, a settee, berth and small galley behind the helm station. There are two staterooms with over-and-under bunks, a head and shower. The pilot boat should top out at around 28 knots when the twin 1,400-hp Cummins QSK38-M1 Tier-3 diesels that are matched up with ZF-5000 gearboxes and HamiltonJet HM651 waterjets are maxed out.

The boat is outfitted for service in certain areas restricted to overhead clearances and draft limitation. Sleeping accommodations and facilities are provided for eight persons and sound dampening systems have been implemented throughout the main deck house.

TIER 4 TUG Diversified Marine

T

he Earl W Redd, Harley Marine Services newest tug, was launched in December 2016 and christened in February 2017. The Jensen Maritime Consultants-designed 120'×35'×19'3" tug was built to ABS load line standards at Diversified Marine Inc., Portland, Ore. The tug is set up to do any type of rescue towing offshore, also

possibly some ship assist work. Diversified Marine has built several boats for Harley. Like much of the Harley fleet, the Earl W Redd has a strong “green” element to it. To find it, you don’t have to look any further than the Earl W Redd’s engine room where a pair of 2,675-hp at 1,600-rpm Caterpillar 3516C diesels reside. The engines are the first Caterpillar Tier 4-rated diesels to go in a tugboat, Harley and Cat officials said. The Tier 4 rating applies to engines above 804 hp and focuses on reducing two air emission elements: particulate matter by 90% and nitrogen oxide by 80% when compared with Tier 2 engines. Along with reduced emissions, engines with the Tier 4 rating should also offer improved fuel consumption. While some engine manufacturers saw an increase in fuel consumption when going from Tier 2 to Tier 3, that’s not necessarily the case with going from Tier 3 to Tier 4.

JULY 2017 ALASKA TOUR BOAT

Bay Welding Services

B

ay Welding Services has delivered a whale watching boat to Juneau Tours LLC. The boat will operate out of Juneau, Alaska. Bay

Welding worked with Coastwise Corp., Anchorage, Alaska, to design the 49'6"×17'6"×2' Atlin, an aluminum catamaran high-speed passenger boat capable of carrying 49 passengers and three crew. Juneau Tours wanted a minimum speed of 32 mph with a full load of passengers. They got that and more.

The 1,400-hp Atlin has a top speed of 49 mph at 5,900 rpm and cruises at 32 mph at 4,600 rpm fully loaded. That’s with four F350 Yamaha outboards mounted on the transom. The engines are a notable feature on the Atlin. They were the power choice primarily for maintenance reasons. Being a tour boat, the Atlin will be making three to four trips a day. A cost analysis was made between outboards and diesel inboards and the simplicity factor of outboards was such a major component that it tipped the scale costwise. If a diesel inboard needed to be repaired or replaced, the Atlin could be out of action for an extended period of time.

But with two or three outboards sitting in the warehouse, you can do an engine swap overnight and not miss a trip. The push was to build the biggest outboardpowered cat possible. Passenger seating is on the main deck, with additional viewing areas over the main deck, at the stern and at the bow. The extra large cabin windows are Diamond Sea Glaze bonded glass.

Designed and engineered by Boksa Marine Design, the coastal-class research vessel will be delivered later this year to the Florida Institute of Oceanography. With a 6'6" draft, the $6 million vessel will be a needed upgrade for student scientists, replacing the nearly 50-year-old Bellows which had served as a floating laboratory for 35 years.

The new research vessel will be longer and wider than its predecessor, offer

more working space, including separated wet and dry labs, have a larger work deck, and a separate galley and more comfortable arrangements for berthing.

Anticipated missions for the new vessel will include a variety of over-theside operations including the study of marine life, affects of pollution, water sampling, bioacoustics, sediment coring, fisheries research and more. Main propulsion for the new vessel will come from a pair of Caterpillar C18 ACERT diesels, producing 600 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The Cats will connect to Wärtsilä 41" wheels through two ZF 200A marine gears. The propulsion package will push the boat through the water at a running speed of 10 knots. Capacities will include 6,862 gals. of fuel oil and 1,382 gals. fresh water. The rear cargo deck will measure 22'×25'6". The boat will also have accommodations for four crewmembers and 10 scientists.

n June, Vigor delivered the 508'×96'×51' Harvest, the first complex liquefied ammonia transport barge built in the U.S. for the Jones Act trade since 1982. The vessel was built for The Mosaic Co., an integrated producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash. The Harvest will be operated by a subsidiary of Savage Companies as part of an articulated tug and barge (ATB) unit. Over the last 23 months, the project supported approximately 1,500 jobs and involved close to a million labor hours at Vigor facilities in Oregon and Washington and subcon-

tractors throughout the region. Teams used 9,000 tons of U.S. rolled steel to complete the tank barge. Careful integration of various complex systems was required to support the Harvest’s state-of-the-art, onboard re-liquefaction plant that keeps cargo cooled to -27° F. Vigor subcontractor JH Kelly, Longview, Wash., was a key partner in this effort, providing the onboard electrical work as well as fabrication and installation of the cargo piping systems for the plant. The new barge is ABS classed and USCG certified. The Harvest has four cargo tanks, capable of 22,000 tons of liquid anhydrous ammonia. Each cargo tank is fully insulated for cargo management at the temperature range of -25°C to -27°C. Eight deep well cargo pumps provide a tank with two redundant pumping means and can complete full discharge in 22 hours. Each cargo tank has an instrument dome, allowing access to all equipment, measurement means,

The primary mission is providing current channel depth information in the river, bay and Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. For that work, the Spies carries a Reson 7125 deployable

strut multibeam transducer, and Odom CV300 Echo deployable strut, and a Klein 3075 towed sonar, controlled with a DT Marine 302 M sonar winch.

An advantage of the deployable equipment is ease of repair, compared to fixing through-hull transducers that require a haul out, he noted. Propulsion is provided by a pair of Caterpillar C18 Tier 3 engines, each turning 1,001 hp at 2,300 rpm. ZF MGX-51346SC gears turn Michigan Wheel 38.5" propellers, with controls by Glendenning. Two Phasor Marine 34 kW 120/240 volt generators provide ship’s power.

2017 BOATBUILDING REVIEW

North River Boats

N

orth River Boats, Roseburg, Ore., was due to deliver a 36'×10' special forces training boat to the Navy in Stennis, Miss., in September. Then in October, another 36' boat went into the water. Up to eight boats will be delivered. The Navy’s Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School in Stennis brings people from different countries together, and they are trained to use the boat and the weapons. The design for the boat is based on the boatyard’s Valor Force Protection model, with some modifications. North River’s willingness to modify a design

to meet the customer’s needs is a big reason why the boatyard got the deal.

One modification involved the Navy’s desire for a fuel range of about 320 miles from the three 250-hp Yamaha outboards that will be mounted across the stern. So while the Valor Force model starts at about 27' that wasn’t near long enough for the fuel tank that would be required. And while the Navy obviously liked the Valor Force Protection model, they needed a 14'6" cabin as opposed to the standard 10' cabin. To put a 325-gal. fuel tank in the boat, have a bigger cabin and be able to pull the tank if needed without cutting everything up, the design had to be lengthened. The freeboard was also raised 6" to accommodate the larger fuel load. In the cabin are seven Shoxs 2000 series shock mitigating seats.

2017 BOATBUILDING REVIEW sisterships to the company in 2009. The primary difference between the new boats and those delivered in 2009 is in the superstructure. The new boats are not designed to go around Manhattan.

The Harlem River has low bridges so the previous boats have only two decks and lower (6'6") headroom in the interior. The new boats by contrast have a third deck plus each deck has 8' finish height ceilings. The new boats also have three bars as opposed to one. So, the addition of bars and higher HVAC loads required significant redesign of the domestic mechanical systems. Designed by DeJong and Lebet, Jacksonville, Fla., the cabins on the Circle Line Staten Island are equipped with large double-glazed windows, designed to offer enhanced views of the New York skyline in any weather. Interior accommodations include space for loose seating and tables for 275 passengers in the main cabin. The second deck provides space for seating and tables for another 200 passengers indoors and outside seating for 88 passengers. Aft of the seating is a bandstand for live entertainment. Aft of the pilothouse on the third deck is outdoor seating for 84 passengers under a fixed canopy. With a top speed of 14 knots, the vessel, which sports an 8' draft, is powered by twin Cummins QSK-38M1, Tier 3 diesel engines, delivering a total of 2,600 hp at 1,800 rpm and connected to ZF W3355 gear boxes, spinning Hung Shen 60", 5-bladed bronze propellers.

CT Marine founder Corning Townsend said the sole purpose of the vessel is to push a single 100' barge loaded with trailers and 18 wheelers from Point Marina located north of Southport, N.C., on the Cape Fear River to Bald Head Island. It makes up to six round trips per day. Higher than normal freeboard was required to deal with large waves caused by passing freighters and ocean swells at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Based on these requirements, CT Marine designed a vessel that is 24' wide at the bow and 17' wide at the transom, has eight rudders and an elevated pilothouse. It’s the eighth newbuild towboat to feature the patented CT Marine “Twin Dif” steering system, said Townsend. Propulsion comes from a pair of John Deere 6135AFM85 Tier 3 diesels with keel coolers, each producing 425 hp at 1,900 rpm. The engines turn a pair of props through ZF W350 electric shift gears with 3.968:1 ratios. The boat is equipped with four main rudders and four flanking rudders for maneuverability.

OCEAN RESEARCH VESSEL

Glosten designed the new research vessel. With a 12'6" draft, the 193'×41'×19' OSU vessel will be the first of three planned for the Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. The foundation chose OSU in 2013 to be the lead institution on the project for planning and selecting a shipyard. When the next two ships are funded, the total grant could increase to as much as $365 million. Plans call for laying the first keel in 2018 for a 2020 delivery and yearlong testing program. The followon vessels would be delivered in 2021 and 2022. The manufacturers have not been announced yet, but the propulsion package will include twin engines that produce a total of 2,685 hp to two dual propeller Z-drives. The boat will have a cruising speed of 12 knots. In addition, the new research vessel will have a pair of thrusters for increased maneuverability. There will be 510 sq. ft. of main lab, 385 sq. ft. of wet lab, 175 sq. ft. of computer lab, and a total capacity of 16 scientists/marine technicians and 12 crew.

Those first two Subchapter K aluminum catamarans from Vigor in Ballard, Wash., (formerly Kvichak Marine Industries) have a 27-knot service speed and are replacing two of the oldest boats in WETA’s fleet of 11. With two more copies to come from Vigor, and another, even faster class to be built at Dakota Creek Industries Inc., Anacortes, Wash., WETA will expand its fleet to 16 vessels over the next three years. The Hydrus and its sisterships are powered by pairs of MTU 12V4000M64 engines, each producing 1,950 hp. The MTUs turn a pair of 5-bladed propellers through ZF 7600 reduction gears. Nominally rated at Tier 3 emission standards, the package delivers Tier 4 performance, thanks to a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system developed by Pacific Power Group, officials said. The engines can burn biodiesel B5, another component in the Bay Area air-quality strategy that is getting use in commuter buses. SCR technology along with diesel oxidation catalyst makes the Hydrus and Cetus the cleanest passenger ferries now operating in the U.S., without using more maintenance-intensive particulate filters, according to Pacific Power Group.

he 104'×40'×18' tractor tug Capt.

Brian A. McAllister was built at Horizon Shipbuilding, Bayou La Batre, Ala., and delivered to McAllister Towing and Transportation in New York. With a 40' beam its one of the widest boats in the McAllister fleet and the largest tractor tug. Designed

by Jensen Maritime Consultants in Seattle, the Capt. Brian A. McAllister is also noteworthy for its engines, a pair of Tier 4 rated 3516E Caterpillar diesels (3,386 hp each at 1,800 rpm), making the boat the first EPA rated Tier 4 tug on the East Coast. Match the Cats up with Schottel SRP4000FP Z drives and the Capt. Brian A. McAllister pulled 81.5 metric tons on a bollard pull test at Horizon. The winches for ship handling are from Markey Machinery. A Markey DESF-48-100 escort winch is on the bow with 800' of 10" line. At the stern is a Markey TES-40-75 towing winch that carries 2,500' of 2 ¼" wire. Add the two remote controlled Fire Fighting Systems fire monitors rated at 5,284 gpm and a 1,100-gpm deluge system to the Capt. Brian A. McAllister’s towing and escorting abilities and you have a vessel that has a lot more capabilities than the standard tractor tug, according to McAllister. The new tug carries the name of the McAllister Towing company chairman, who is also the great grandson of James P. McAllister, who founded the company in 1864.

he first of 10 63'×24'×11' Damen Stan Tug 1907 ICE tugboats has been delivered by Great Lakes Shipyard to its sister company, Great Lakes Towing Co., Cleveland. All 10 tugs will be built to Subchapter M standards. With a draft of 10' and under 100 gt, the Stan Tug 1907 ICE is a compact design capable of 30 tons of bollard pull. Its relatively small size and high maneuverability design make it a good fit for narrow waterways with their many low bridges that characterize the Great Lakes region. The ability to operate safely in icy waters is also essential given the very cold temperatures that occur there in the winter. Main propulsion comes from two MTU 8V4000 M54R diesels, producing 1,000 hp at 1,600 rpm. The mains connect to 3-bladed, 71"-dia. Kaplan-style wheels through Twin Disc MG-5321 quick shift marine gears with 5.45:1 reduction ratios. The Cleveland got off to a good start, working two ship assists.

The first was for Fednav International Ltd., Montreal, and the second was for Rand Corp., based in New Jersey.

The design hasn’t changed much in the past 13 years, said Peter Duclos, Gladding-Hearn’s president. In fact, it’s pretty similar to the original St. John’s hull built in 1999 that is still operating in Jacksonville, Fla. The pilot boat currently under construction has twin 671-hp Caterpillar C-18 tier-3 engines matched up with Twin Disc MGX5136A marine gears with a 2:1 ratio turning 5-bladed 30" Bruton bronze propellers. When maxed out that power package should get the pilot boat up to 24 knots.

echnology Associates Inc. (TAI) and Aluma Marine and Fabrication LLC, Harvey, La., have delivered the 61'4"×23'×11' Catlett to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Baltimore. TAI, a New Orleans-based maritime solutions company, was the prime design-build contractor of the high-speed, foil-assisted hydrographic survey vessel. TAI and Alumna Marine personnel worked together on the construction of the Catlett under TAI’s supervision at Aluma’s Harvey facility.

Being in charge while at the same time being part of the crew building a boat is rather unusual for a design and engineering company that doesn’t have its own boatyard, but TAI has done this at other boatyards that aren’t familiar with a proposed building project.

TAI orders the metal, cuts the pieces and buys most of the major equipment. Then drawing on its base crew of 15 to 16 people, TAI personnel go in and show the shipyard workers the modern techniques of the construction project. Main propulsion comes from twin Man V8 propulsion engines, producing 970 hp each, which turn two HamiltonJet waterjets producing speeds in excess of 38 knots and survey speeds up to 10 knots. Controls are Hamiliton MECS. Tankage includes over 1,000 gals. of fuel; 100 gals. water; and 50 gals. black and grey water. The vessel also features a galley, mess and sleeping accommodations for a crew of four. In the wheelhouse is

ibcraft, Marblehead, Mass., introduced its 41' Ribcraft 12.5 rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with the delivery of a specialized Coast Guard Subchapter T-certified tour boat to Cape Rib Tours, Hyannis, Mass. The 12.5 RIB is the newest and largest model in the Ribcraft model line. It will be used for whale watching expeditions, sightseeing tours and thrill rides. Marketed as the ultimate offshore platform for tour operators, security and patrol operations, and military applications, the 12.5 combines the company’s signature deep V hull and bow sheer with an extended waterline and generous beam. The RIB is designed for offshore passages and operations requiring large crew and payload capacities. It can accommodate up to 34 passengers through the combination of 29 jockeystyle pod seats and a large aft bench.

Outfitted for adventure tours, the 12.5 for Cape Rib Tours features a heavyduty yellow Hypalon tube, extended canopy top with an integrated swim ladder, bowthruster, and a marine head.

Powered by triple 350-hp Mercury Verado outboards, the 12.5 reaches speeds in excess of 50 mph, Ribcraft said. The 12.5 is also available with twin inboard diesel I/O or waterjets.

merican Queen Steamboat Co. contracted Bollinger Shipyards Inc. to convert a former casino boat in Iowa into the company’s newest luxury paddlewheel riverboat, the American Duchess. The 314'×100'×14' passenger vessel had its maiden voyage in August, about a year after the company purchased the 280'6"×87'×14' former Bettendorf Capri. The boat never left the dock when it was a casino boat. Bollinger built the original casino boat in 1995 at its shipyard in Lockport, La., and the conversion was done at its Amelia, La., shipyard. Seattle-based Guido Perla & Associates handled the original design and Lay, Pitman & Associates, Neptune Beach, Fla., designed the conversion. The new riverboat gets its main propulsion from two Caterpillar 3508 diesels, producing 640 hp at 1,800 rpm each. The Cats are connected to Schottel 330 Z-drives and the boat’s paddlewheel, pushing the boat along at 10 mph. The Z-drives handle about 90% of the load and the paddlewheel accounts for 1 to 2 knots of power. For ship’s service power, there are three Cat 3516 diesels, sparking 1,440 kW of electrical power each. There is also a 500-kW Cat 3412 emergency generator. The boat carries accommodations for 192 passengers and 92 crewmembers.

1:45PM NO MORE CLIPBOARDS: HOW TO AUTOMATE EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE SAFETY INSPECTIONS

Safety inspection records for heavy equipment are critical to keeping operators’ safe, creating a stellar maintenance program, and achieving OSHA compliance. But most companies use a system of clipboards, static forms, and manual processes to conduct safety inspections. These methods put a company at risk for data entry errors, lost paperwork, or, even worse, \inspections that just don’t get done. Using real world case studies, this presentation will discuss how progressive companies are using the latest technology to complete OSHA-mandated safety inspections faster than ever before.

Fluid analysis is the process of sampling, testing and diagnosing the operating condition of fluids. Oil, coolant and diesel fuel are all found in many types of workboats. In order to keep mechanical systems and components operating correctly, it is essential to complete a fluid analysis. It prevents costly repairs, unplanned downtime, 124

8:30AM EXPLORING THE VIABILITY OF OSV CONVERSIONS

Mark Buzby, Maritime Adminstrator, Marad, Shipyard Program featured speaker

With the down market in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico oil and gas sector, OSV utilization rates are at historic lows leaving many modern U.S.-flagged vessels stacked with an uncertain future.

In contrast, the near-term dredging market in the U.S. presents near-term sustained business and the potential for growth. OSV operators continue to look for new ways to repurpose stacked OSVs to generate revenue. As such, we explore the feasibility of converting OSVs to dredge vessels by addressing the technical aspects of a vessel conversion and the business case of this concept.

Speakers: Mark Masor, Gulf Coast Operations Manager, Gibbs & Cox Inc.; Geoff Dean, Business Development Manager, Offshore Ship Designers 9:15AM SHIPYARD DIVERSIFICATION

Shipyards are the core of the maritime industry, from implementation and maintenance to launching new vessels and repairing old ones. Over the years, shipyards have communicated with a multitude of vendors and employed various skilled workers. Shipyards contract with commercial and military operators which usually involve different projects. Some are more time sensitive than others. Shipyards, big or small, take chances, overcome chal-

10:15AM CAPTURING THE SHIPBUILDING INCHES

1:30PM RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN TAXATION

When a boat owner contracts with a shipyard to build a boat, the success of the project depends on how many “inches” are captured. Three management issues plague all business leaders: Lack of communication, lack of accountability, and lack of information sharing. When boat owners build their boat they are often left out of the production loop unless an owner’s representative is on site. How is the owner able to capture the inches during the build? How can the shipyard be held accountable to the owner? How can the owner ensure the shipyard communicates effectively and shares the necessary information? How can the shipyard ensure communication, accountability and information sharing on the part of the owner? A case

This presentation will highlight changes in certain state taxes (including recent changes to the ad valorem tax rules in Louisiana) and any federal income and estate tax laws implemented in 2017 and related matters that affect marine vessel owners and operators, shipyards and equipment suppliers.

This includes changes in tax rates and effective dates, changes in depreciation, expensing, and healthcare related taxes, and the deductibility of interest and related issues.

2:30PM KEY REQUIREMENTS FOR OSV UPGRADES

In the current market environment, offshore supply vessels are often chartered on short notice to perform new types of service or carry additional workers. Depending on the nature of the new work, there may be additional regulatory requirements and upgrades that apply to the vessel. Owners and operators can gain an understanding of the required changes to their vessels during an upgrade. Attendees will also hear from engineers about emerging technology of hybrid systems. The international standards and regulatory requirements regarding the safety of hybrid electric power systems are still maturing, creating a challenge for owners and operators to effectively leverage these systems. This session will outline a risk-based approach to address the safe deployment of these technologies.

8:30AM THE PRESIDENT’S INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE: WHAT CAN IT MEAN FOR INLAND WATERWAYS?

There has been a lot of attention centered around President Trump’s campaign promise for a $1 trillion infrastructure package. If eventually passed, what would it mean for the inland waterways? Would the $8 billion dollar backlog in lock and dam rehabilitation and new construction be addressed? How would the priorities be chosen, and where would those projects be located? More importantly, how would they be funded?

Speakers: Paul Rohde, Vice President, Midwest Office, Waterways Council Inc.; Dan Mecklenborg, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, Ingram Industries Inc. 9:15AM ROUTE TO COMPLIANCE

With only eight months left to comply with Subchapter M, towing vessel operators still have critical decisions to make. The biggest one is whether to go with the Coast Guard option or third 126

WB_IWBS_ConferenceListingsProducts_2017_LINO_DK.indd 126

party TSMS option for inspections and audits? Which third party organization is best for your company? In addition, captains and companies need to maintain quality standards in the compliance-driven world of Subchapter M. It also places an enormous responsibility on towing vessel operators and masters with respect to crewmembers health and safety, and the ability to respond to onboard emergencies. One part of Subchapter M requires that companies and captains ensure that people serving on their vessels demonstrate a high level of capability and compliance, even beyond what’s required on other inspected vessels. Subchapter M does not mandate that crewmembers attend approved safety training courses before and during their course of their employment as STCW does. Thus, vessel operators cannot rely on outside certification to determine whether or not their employees meet the law’s standard.

This session will provide operators with the answers to those questions and a solid plan to move forward with.

10:15AM VESSEL EFFICIENCY WITH HYBRID TECHNOLOGY

In an effort to reduce the environmental footprint of workboats, stricter requirements from environmental agencies, regulatory classes and local port jurisdictions have motivated the industry to rethink its approach to generating propulsion and electrical power. As the use of modern hybrid technologies evolve, owners and operators are forced to consider which technologies fit the needs of their fleet, how economical the

LOOKS BACK DECEMBER 1947

• To meet the mounting winter fuel shortage, the Army Engineers have reverted to a wartime emergency project — using icebreakers to keep the Illinois River open to continue the movement of coal and fuel oil barges to the Chicago area. Contracts were awarded this month to Federal Barge Lines to provide tugs, towboats and barges as icebreakers.

Special icebreaking bows, or plows, have been requisitioned from the Coast Guard. During the war, the icebreaking project on the upper inland waterways was a top military secret and kept many war plants running.

• A request from the Truman administration for the rationing of petroleum and coal received a cold reception from the joint Congressional Economics Committee early this month.

DECEMBER 1957 Undersecretary

of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman told the committee that President Truman should be granted drastic powers in case of emergency, including the control of fuel transportation and the ability to impose price controls on coal and oil.

DURAMAX®

SHAFT SEAL SYSTEMS

Engineered for Optimum Sealing Performance.

The DryMax™ seal is a robust, environmentally friendly, water-lubricated stern tube seal system. Engineered to accommodate the most axial and radial shaft movement of any seal design while eliminating wear on the shaft.

Reversible DuraChrome™ mating ring gives 2X the life extending drydock intervals

Keeps seawater out of your vessel and your bilge dry. The DryMax™ engineered nitrile rubber ring rotates with the shaft and creates a hydrodynamic seal with the DuraChrome™ mating ring.

Superior sealing and wear life. The proprietary rubber polymer seal ring and the DuraChrome™ alloy mating ring have been engineered to provide optimal sealing and long wear life.

Virtually maintenance free. An inflatable seal is built into the housing allowing seal inspection and primary sealing ring replacement at sea without dry docking.

MADE IN U.S.A.

DryMax™ is ideal for vessels operating in both brown and blue water. It accommodates shaft sizes and stern tubes up to 36".

MADE IN U.S.A.

The DryMax™ seal is also available as a rudder stock seal.
