Bollinger Shipyards Inc., Lockport,La., recently completed the163'6"36'11'6" supply boat Capt.
Rudy for Seahorse Marine. The new
design, a collaboration between the
shipyard and Phillip Plaisance, president
of Lockport-based Seahorse Marine, is
an extension of Bollingers steel-hulled
145' mini-supply vessel design. Its
being touted as a mega mini-supply
boat.
Ive had a lot of success with ves-
sels from Bollinger, and I have influ-enced the various designs by working
with Bollinger to get exactly the vessel
I need to take care of my customers
needs, said Plaisance.
The vessel can carry 57,200 gals. of
fuel oil, 44,600 gals. methanol and
1,230 bbls. of liquid mud. The boat can
pump drill water and lube oil up to 150'
at a rate of 200 gpm.
The rear cargo deck measures
110'30' and can haul up to 385 LT of
freight.
Main propulsion comes from twinCummins KTA38-MO diesel engines,
each producing 750 hp at 1,600 rpm.
The diesels are connected to Bollinger
72"57" nibral propellers on 6"
Aquamet 17 shafts through Twin Disc
MG-5301 marine gears with 4.96:1
reduction ratios.
For added maneuverability around
offshore structures, the OSV was fit-
ted with a 270-hp Schottel
bowthruster, driven by a
Cummins N14 diesel.Ships service power
comes from two Cummins
6CTA8.3-G gensets, generat-
ing 99kw of electricity each.
The Capt. Rudy is anoth-
er example of Bollingers
dedication to working with
the customer, ensuring that
the operator gets the quality
vessel that they specd out, at
the agreed price, and deliv-
ered on time, said Plaisance.
Bollinger also announced that it has
signed an agreement to build another
245-class liftboat for Golden Meadow,
La.-based Montco Offshore Inc. The
137'6"92'13' Kayd will be a sister-
ship to the liftboat Myrtle, which
Bollinger delivered to Montco in 2002.
The basic difference between the two
liftboats will be the lifting capacity of the
three cranes on the Kayd. The cranes,
manufactured by Titan Industries, will
include a port bow-mounted primary
crane with a 110' lattice boom rated for
175 tons, a starboard bow telescoping
auxiliary crane rated for 40 tons with a
boom that extends from 50' to 70', and a
70' box boom crane mounted on the star-
board stern rated for 25 tons for transfer
of personnel, cargo, and/or fluids with-
out interfering with other work being
done by the liftboat.
Equipped with 245' legs, the self-pro-pelled floating platform will have the
ability to work in water depths up to 180'.
The Hydraquip jacking system will
use hydraulic and computer technology
to accurately control the leg position.
The programmable logic controller will
provide all jacking system logic, safety
interlocks, leg positions and alarm
monitoring.

All jacking system pressures, system
status, temperatures, alarms, and oper-
ation manual will be displayed on a liq-
uid crystal plasma touch screen.
The Kayd will be equipped with
40'
16' pads, larger than those on otherliftboats, to provide for greater bottom
stability and deck loads. It will also be
able to jack with a full pre-load and its
pre-load system has quick acting stain-
less steel dump valves to discharge
water faster.
The open deck will measure 6,000
sq. ft. The three 72"-dia. legs will be
constructed of 1 1/2" wall thickness
high-strength steel.
Two Caterpillar 3512 diesels devel-
oping a total of 3,000 hp will handle the
vessels main propulsion duties. The
Cats will drive Berg controllable pitch
propellers through Reintjes reduction
gears.
Ships service power will be the
responsibility of twin 190kw genera-
tors driven by Caterpillar 3306 diesels.
The liftboats galley will serve 22 per
seating, and its 13 staterooms will have
48 berths with four separate digital
satellite television systems piped to 12
locations throughout the vessel.
The Kayd will be ABS Loadline,SOLAS/MARPOL classed and U.S.
Coast Guard certified Subchapter L.

Main Iron Works busy with
new Bisso Z-drive tug
Houma, La.-based Main Iron WorksInc. is building a new
100'38'13'6" Z-drive tug for Bisso
Towboat Co. Inc., New Orleans. The
steel-hulled Alma Swill be an almost
exact replica of the Cecelia B. Slatten,
a Z-drive tug Main Iron Works deliv-
ered to Bisso in May 1999. The onlydifferences will be a few minor changes
having to do with operational capabili-
ties and crew comfort.
The Alma S will handle ship-assist
duties involving mostly tankers and
bulk carriers on the Mississippi River.
This will definitely improve our
fleet, said Scott Slatten, whose family
owns the business that is entering its
115th year of operation. Weve want-
ed to build this tug for three years. But
right after we took delivery of the
Cecelia, traffic plummeted on the
Mississippi. Its back now, so were
building this boat.
The tugs main propulsion will come
from two EPA-compliant EMD 16-
645E6 diesels, producing 2,150 hp
each at 900 rpm. The mains will propel
Ulstein Aquamaster US2001 Z-drives,
which will feature 90.5"-dia. stainless-
steel props in Kort nozzles. TheAlma S
will have a bollard pull of 59 tons.
On deck will be a Markey DYSF-42
hydraulic bow winch, carrying 500' of8" circumference plasma line and a
100-ton quick release tow hook from
Washington Chain & Supply, Seattle.
Ships service power will be the
responsibility of two John Deere
gensets, sparking 100kw of electrical
power each.
Tankage will include 43,000 gals. of
diesel, 11,000 gals. potable water and
1,800 gals. lube and
hydraulic oil.
The electronicssuite will feature a
Simrad GPS/autopi-
lot and Furuno radar
and AIS units. Other
equipment aboard
will include a 1,000-
gpm firefighting
system, a Heli-Sep
U.S. Coast Guard-
approved oil/water
separator, and an
Owens Kleen Tank
sewage treatment plant.
The ABS International Loadline-
classed tug will join Bissos ship-assist
fleet in December.
[Cecelia B. Slatten] is unbelievable,
said Slatten. We havent had one day ofdowntime other than for inspections
since we got her. Its been a very pleas-
ant experience. K. Hocke
Washburn & Doughty
delivers 15th 92' Z-drive
Providence (R.I.) Steamboat Co. tookdelivery of its first Z-drive tug inearly December when the 92'32'
Rainbow left the East Boothbay, Maine,
boatyard of Washburn & Doughty and
headed south to Rhode Islands
Narragansett Bay.
Thats the 15th Z-drive tug that
Washburn & Doughty has built from
our 92-foot design, said Katie
Doughty, marketing manager at
Washburn & Doughty.
Earlier this fall, as theRainbow was
nearing completion, only one other tug
was under construction, and it looked
like Washburn & Doughty might be in
for a lean period. But it didnt take long
for the boatbuilding slots to fill up, andnow four tugs are under construction.
A 92-footer is going to Marine
Towing of Tampa, Tampa, Fla. The boat
should be completed and headed south
this summer. She will be pretty much
the same boat as theIndependent, said
Doughty. The $5 millionIndependentis
a 92-footer owned by Marine Towing
that was delivered in the spring of 2004.
The tug company was formed about five
years ago and operates four tugs.
Another 92-footer is going to MoranTowing Corp., Greenwich, Conn. Work
has just started on the boat, and when it
is completed it will be the 11th 92-foot
tug built by Washburn & Doughty for
Moran Towing.
It had been rumored for some time
that Washburn & Doughty had a slightly
larger tug design in the works. Now it
turns out that a pair of 98-footers is
being built for ship-assist work for LNG
tankers. One is going to Moran Towing
and the other is for Crescent Towing,
BissoTowboat
100' Z-drive tug will look just like its sister delivered in 1999.

KTA38 M2s, each producing 1,350 hp at 1,900 rpm for a
total of 5,400 hp, and a quartet of Hamilton 721 waterjets
that give the new crewboat a design speed of 28 knots. A
Cummins 6BTA engine drives a 1,000-gpm fire monitor as
well as providing hydraulics for a 150-hp bowthruster. The
addition of a 10' extension over the transom provides extra
deck space and protects the waterjets. The 98'25' aft deck
is capable of 200 tons of cargo. Tankage on the Gulf Honorincludes 776 gals. of potable water; 32,128 gals. fresh
water; 20,000 gals. fuel; 1,800 gals. dispersant; and two
