| 摘要： | Built at a cost of approximately $1.5 million, the new 6,630-hp Austin S. Cargill, described as the third most powerful river towboat in the world, was christened at St. Louis recently and immediately placed in service. Built to comply fully with all ABS requirements, the 182'×55'×12' Cargill, whose three 108", 4-bladed propellers are driven by a trio of 2,210-hp Cooper-Bessemer direct-rec-ersing marine diesels, cooled by clear water circulated through a St. Louis Ship-designed skin cooling system. A West Coast tug went back to work for her owner, General Construction of Portland and Seattle, after undergoing an unusual alteration performed by L.S. Baier and Associates. Raised after Ruby Ⅷ capsized with the loss of two lives, Baier designed and installed spon-sons carrying from the turn of the bilge to the main deck, thus adding 2' to its original beam and significantly increasing the boat's stability. |
