This latest series of vessels embodies many changes and improvements arising from operating experience with the fishing boat Tradewind, which was delivered to Tradewind Fishing in 1978. The Westport has an overall length of 98 feet, beam of 25 feet, and depth of 14 feet. The new vessel is powered by a Caterpillar D399 diesel engine with an output of 1,125 bhp at 1,225 rpm, driving a Columbian Bronze 4-blade, 70- by 75-inch propeller in a Kort nozzle through a Caterpillar clutch and a Cat 7261 reduction gear having a ratio of 3.84:1. Service speed is 11.5 knots; engine controls are Math- ers model AD12. Cutless rubber stern bearings were supplied by Lucian Moffitt; main shaft bearings are Dodge Sleevoil. The main engine is cooled by Fernstrum keel coolers. Two auxiliary engines are Caterpillar model D3304T. Deck equipment includes two Hathaway model 12 AITHS hydraulic trawl winches and a 16- inch Hathaway trawl block. Hy- draulically positioned gallows are moved outboard into fishing position by hydraulic rams. When in this position, fishing loads are carried by the structure of the vessel.

These standards con- sist of examples of methods and practices which typify each of four levels of technology for each element. The surveyor is thereby able to assign a "level of technology" to each aspect of shipyard operation which is studied. During the survey, the "closest" whole level number is marked and comments peculiar to the shipyard and element being studied are recorded. The selection of the U.S. shipyards to be surveyed was based primarily on size, employment and product. Since the survey included foreign shipyards building primarily for deepsea commercial service with some naval construction, the largest of the U.S. shipyards building for this service were selected. These shipyards are now building over a broad span of complexity and ship size, from a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and submarines to gas turbine-powered frigates and from commercial ships ranging from a 10,000-dwt tanker to 395,- 000-dwt ultralarge crude carriers (ULCCs) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships. In order to survey 13 U.S. shipyards in the allotted time, two survey teams were required. The earlier surveys of foreign shipyards also involved different surveyors.

Steger:

"It has done an excellent job for us in our coal tow operation. Captain Supple is very pleased. He said it's the smoothest boat he ever handled'. Why don't you talk to him?''

M/G TRANSPORT SERVICES INC

M/V Hugh B Steger We did, and Captain Harold Supple told us:

For handling and maneuverability, the Steger is a good shover and a good handler, with great visibility, too. We have a fleet of 12 owned and chartered towboats to push our 245 barges. I never drove one of these Hydrodynes before and I believe is is the best boat we have in the fleet. Our Chief Engineer says it's the best built boat he ever saw. M/G is really pleased with it, and I am too.''

When you need a new towboat. talk to a Hydrodyne owner first. Then talk to St. Louis Ship, the only yard that builds them. Call (314) 638-4000.
