The preliminary take on the advance text that the Coast Guard provided in mid-June is that the rule will be more forgiving than it otherwise might have been. The Coast Guard itself says it endeavored to soften th e impact of the new regulations in its fi nal version. If that’s the case, one has to wonder whether the ultimate impact on safety will be similarly dulled. Without getting into the weeds on what it all means, the Coast Guard asserts that subM will affect about 5,500 U.S. fl ag towing vessels engaged in pushing, pulling, or hauling alongside, and the 1,100 companies that own or operate them. Ultimately, they say, this translates into a net benefi t of $4.9 million for industry, not counting un-monetized benefi ts such as reducing [email protected] the risk of accidents that have secondary consequences on waterways, highways, and railroads. That’s interesting but encouraging math. On the other hand, the apparent grandfathering of certain hulls and equipment and the ulti- mate delay to full compliance won’t be good news to shipyards hoping to change their luck with increased business. The 798-page document that I viewed prior to deadlines for this edition was daunting. Interpreting what it all means will be equally diffi cult. Stay tuned. On a brighter note, MarineNews Associate Publisher Greg Trauthwein arrived back from yet another incredibly diffi cult [?] assignment in Gothenburg, Sweden just in time to fi ll us in on some remarkable developments in the world of propulsion technology. Volvo Penta’s newest equipment for the workboat world – as only Greg can attest to after having driven much of it – will no doubt very soon make a huge splash in your world. Before that, it debuts here, within this edition, starting on page 30. Separately, we have learned over time that propulsion technology today involves so much more than just engines and/or the devices driven by them to move vessels through the water. That’s because the need for combining speed, effi ciencies, emissions control and fuel economy are changing the way naval architects design hull forms. Matching the propulsion arrangement to the hull in a fi t-for-purpose manner isn’t just a fad. For example, it is the way of the future for forward-thinking ATB operators – such as Bouchard – who hope, among other things, to maximize their bottom line. That story begins on page 24. This month, it seems only fi tting that I end with a few remarks on how we began this edi- tion. Our usual INSIGHTS feature typically revolves around the Editorial Calendar, and this version is no different. In this case, I once again turned to my good friend and fellow Mass. Maritime alumnus Bob Kunkel, who speaks with authority on all things ‘propulsion.’ That he does so, primarily from an OEM agnostic position, makes his ‘insights’ that much more valu- able. See if you don’t agree.

  • Resolution 2017-63
    MEMORANDUM TO COUNCIL TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: DAN WINTERS, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC UTILITIES THRU: NANCY PETERSON, INTERIM CITY MANAGER DATE: OCTOBER 24, 2017 RE: RESOLUTION 2017-63 – A RESOLUTION OF THE UNALASKA CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH V3 ENERGY, LLC, TO PERFORM THE WIND POWER DEVELOPMENT & INTEGRATION ASSESSMENT PHASE II PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,481. SUMMARY: From 2003 to 2005, a Phase 1 analysis of the feasibility for wind energy in Unalaska was conducted by Northern Power Systems. Phase II of that project was never realized due to the inability of windmills of that era to withstand Unalaska’s wind speeds. Due to recent interest by the Unalaska City Council in renewable energy, coupled with the availability of new technology, the City of Unalaska Department of Public Utilities let a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Phase II of the Wind Power Development and Integration Assessment Project. Resolution No. 2017-63 will award the Phase II work to V3 Energy, LLC for $45,481 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2003, Unalaska City Council approved the Wind Integration Assessment Project through Ordinance 2003-11. In FY2018 Council funded the Wind Power Development and Integration Assessment Project through Capital Budget Ordinance 2017-07 by providing $200,000 from the General Fund. BACKGROUND: In 1999, a Wind Energy Feasibility Study of Unalaska was conducted for the State of Alaska’s Division of Energy. In 2000, the US Department of Energy conducted an Energy Assessment for Unalaska as potential sites for future wind turbine development, in which Unalaska was ruled out due to the potential of excessively high wind speeds.
