| 摘要： | Florida Marine Transporters (FMT), Mandeville, La., one of the largest independent marine transporters of dry bulk and liquid products on the inland waterways, took delivery recently of a new towboat, the mv. Mo Chiasson. Designed by Sterling Marine and built by Steiner Shipyard at its facility on Bayou La Batre, Ala., the 2,520 hp. Mo Chiasson is a conventional twin-screw towboat that measures 88 by 35 by 11 feet. A twin to the previously delivered mv. Chad Douglas, it is one of the 11 boats Steiner Shipyard is building for FMT. The main engines from Laborde are Mitsubishi model S12R Tier 3 units with a mechanical governor control system, individual heads, inspection ports and heavier blocks. The engines are coupled to Twin Disc MGX5600 reduction gears from Sew-art and have a 6.04∶1 ratio. They turn Kahlenburg 82- by 62-inch propellers on 8-inch shafts with Simplan tailshaft seals and Duramax Cutlass bearings. The engines are cooled by Fernstrum keel coolers and monitored by an alarm system from EMI, which also provided the electric-over-hydraulic steering system. When fully loaded with fuel and water (42,000 gallons and 8,000 gallons), the boat draws 8 feet 6 inches. The pilothouse eye level is 34 feet, 6 inches. |
