C&C Marine and Repair, Belle Chasse, La., has delivered the 147′6″×34′×l0′9″ Olive Parker to Parker Towing Co. The 4,400-hp towboat's pilothouse eye measures 33′. The new towboat is the first vessel C&C Marine has built for the Tuscaloosa, Ala.-based company. The Olive Parker was built based on a collaborative design by Parker Towing and CT Marine LLC, Portland, Maine. The vessel's design includes two owner furnished Caterpillar 3516B main engines, that are paired with two Reintjes WAF 873 HL-HR reduction gears, provided by Karl Senner LLC. "During our process of selecting shipyards for our new vessel construction program, C&C was one of the facilities whose reputation for quality really stood out in the industry," Terah Huckabee, senior vice-president of Parker Towing, said. "They employ state of the art processes in an all-weather facility with the majority of assembly being performed within enclosed warehouse bays. The M/V Olive Parker is our first project with C&C and, we can say without a doubt, they certainly lived up to their reputation." |
