Upon entering the harbor or when a boat or barge must come alongside the fence — it is designed to be easily taken down. Divided into port and starboard zones, the fence can therefore be activated only on one side of the ship, while deactivating the other. This feature is particularly useful when the vessel is moored alongside in the harbor, and the master decides to de-activate the pier- side while keeping the waterside active. Futhermore, the fences have "gates," which allow temporary openings as required for pilots, gangways and liferafts. A technologically-driven control system detects entry attempts and then transmits them to various output devices such as lights, alarms and sirens. Non- lethal high voltage gives off the effect that the vessel is virtually secure, while protecting the crew. If a power failure should occur onboard, the system will continue to detect intrusion attempts. The Energizer system gives off high voltage peaks with a maximum of 9,000 volts, thus guaranteeing a non-lethal shock (the legal limit of 8 Joule), at the least amount of contact with the electri- fied wire.

Procedures for Detaining ABSolutely Responsive Crewmembers on Board The U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. to Our Client's Needs Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) have developed a Standard Oper- ating Procedure (SOP) for identifying crewmembers on board vessels coming to U.S. ports who need to be detained on board during the port call and for taking steps to ensure that those crewmembers remain on board and depart with the vessel. Under this policy, which is scheduled to come into effect in Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Bay, and Savannah on October 28, 2002, the USCG will share crewmember data from the Advance Notice of Arrival with the INS. The organization will then determine whether any or all crewmembers should be detained on board. If so, the USCG will order the vessel to remain at least three n.m. offshore until the vessel submits a crewmember secu- -Aft- rity plan that is acceptable to the INS.

By Angie Drobnic Holan

When Austal Ltd. of Henderson, West- ern Australia, started looking last year for a CEO to lead its U.S.-based operations, the job description must have been daunting. They wanted a leader to take the helm of their newly built shipyard in Mobile, Ala., and turn it into a major contractor for both military and commercial vessels in the United States. Austal had recently entered the U.S. market for the first time, intent on competing with higher-profile rivals such as Incat/Bollinger, Derecktor Shipyards and Kvaerner. The company settled on Alan Lerch- backer, 50, an energetic former Navy Aquanaut with a business background, who took the position in February 2002. Lerchbacker had never heard of Austal until a headhunter contacted him. But the more he learned about the job, the more excited he got, he said. "Austal is very entrepreneurial. They don't have a lot of corporate layers of His shipyard experience included run- Halter Marine's Mississippi operations Louisiana-based oil and gas support management and they're very on the ning operations for the 2,200-personnel before leaving to help Austal scout its company, for offshore use.

It's hard for the Australians to understand that in the U.S., they're a lot of other companies," he said. "But we're getting our brand out. Things are going really well."

Field of Dreams Austal USA is building, and they ... meaning customers and new workers ... are coming. With a company built to build speed, one would expect a non-stop flurry of activity to be the hallmark of the manufacturing facility. Quite the contrary. Upon coming to Mobile, Ala., in early August to visit Austal USA, a slow, steady stream of new employee applicants was the defining moment. Early for an appointment with new CEO Alan B. Lerchbacker, I sat in the lobby and watched in amazement as one job applicant after another walked through the front door. Make no mistake, Austal's ultra-modern shipbuilding shed and its ubiquitous new leader leave an indelible impression. But that steady stream, particularly in the face of what many describe as a "down" market, was most impressive. The jobseekers come to Austal USA At the OWL.

They knew what they wanted, which was everything in a 32-ft. hull. Metal- Craft's design team calculated that the Proven Tug-Barge Technology boat would not plane out with the extra weight of the fire system and emergency medical gear in a 32-ft. hull. The planing surface area or footprint of the hull needed to have sufficient area with a corresponding horsepower to get the heavy little boat on plane. Optimizing the boat's longitudinal center of gravity, the vertical center of gravity and the boat's meta-centric height were all important operational issues. The roof mounted monitor can put out up to 924 lbs. of force, seriously affecting the boat's righting moment when on the beam. This all meant the boat needed exceptional static stability.

It was important that the sea chest intake did not disrupt waterflow to ensure that the the jet's efficiency was not reduced. The next design problem was how to get all the extra gear in the engine room and be able to service all this gear easily. Here, MCM's Tom Wroe used his own 300 lb. frame as the test article. All the floor grates, which are retained by spring loaded clamps, lift up to get to any gear below them. One Cummins mechanic was so impresed by the engine room that the dealership's owner had to come down and see it for himself. When Firestorm left MetalCraft's facility in Kingston, Ontario, the boat had about 14 hours on it. The boat was leaving Kingston for a true endurance trial: 1,000 miles of canal, locks, and open ocean as she headed down the Erie Barge canal, through New York harbor down the eastern shore to her home on the Potomac just south of Washington. She completed the trip in approximately 48 hours of running. The Cummins 'C' series diesels and Hamilton jets purred the entire way, though they had just come out of the box. The OWL crew now had complete confidence in their new fireboat, Firestorm. The boat surpassed all of her design objectives and attended her first boat fire the first week she was in service, she performed her first rescue while on sea trials at Kingston. Firestorm is a boat that both the OWLFD and MetalCraft Marine are extremely proud of and sets a new standard for high speed rescue/fireboats.

This was accomplished using a complete digital mockup (DMU), which gave the team the ability to experiment MANOEUVERABILITY with "what if' production scenarios.

Piping, electrical and smaller equipment were added in layers as the frames and hull plates were brought up. In this way, Hol- land could construct the vehicle while minimizing movements of the main lifting mast and guy wires. The Digital Process for Manufacturing tool was used to simulate the construction process. Today's shipbuilders are focused on the same efficiencies. Cranes today lift huge block sections of a ship as one. Maximizing the lift capacity, minimizing crane movements and having all materials ready to go is critical to build time.
