| 摘要： | Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding has built three pilot launches for the Galveston-Texas City Pilots. The Somerset, Mass., shipyard will begin construction soon on a fourth launch for the Texas pilots group with delivery scheduled for late 2022. The new pilot boat, with an aluminum Ray Hunt-designed deep-V hull, is expected to be faster and burn less fuel than the previous three boats for the Galveston-Texas City Pilots, two of which were 70' and one 40' in length. All three are powered by waterjets. The new pilot boat will be similar in appearance, with the wheelhouse mounted just aft of amidships, but a bit larger at 73.2'×23.3'×5.9'. Instead of twin 1,300-hp jets there will be three 800-hp at 2,300 rpm Volvo Penta D13 Tier-3 diesels, matched up with Volvo's IPS 1050 pod propulsion systems. That power combination is expected to give the new pilot boat a 30-knot top speed, while burning 25% to 30% less fuel, said Peter Duclos, president of Gladding-Hearn. |
