| 摘要： | Rodriguez Shipbuilding, Coden, Ala., delivered the 72'×30'×11', 1,600-hp pusher tug Boyce B to Weeks Marine, Cranford, N.J., in late March. Designed by Entech Designs, Ken-ner, La., with a 9'3" draft, the new 159-gt. boat primarily assists in dredging operations. From half-inch bottom plate from bow to aft engine room bulkhead and 5/8" bottom plate from aft engine room bulkhead to stern, 3/4" bow and stern corner plating, 3/4" side sheer strake, 3/4" head log and transom, and 3/8" side shell "makes this a heavy-duty hull to handle all the work that comes with dredging," said David Tuck, Weeks' chief engineer/project manager. "And 360-degree fendering from M&M Bumper gives another layer of protection. Building the fleet deck as well as the aft deck to handle 6,000 lbs. also is a great addition to help transport equipment to and around the dredge site." Main propulsion comes from a pair of Cummins QSK. 19-MRCS diesel engines producing 800 hp each. The mains are connected to 82"×67", 4-bladed, stainless-steel props through Twin Disc MGX-5222 DC marine gears with 6.96:1 reduction ratios. The propulsion package gives the Boyce B a running speed of 8 knots and a bollard pull estimated at 20 tons. |
