摘要：	In August, Silver Ships Inc., Theodore, Ala., delivered the largest marine survey vessel of its series, designed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Venice Sub Office in Venice, La. The 49' Tobin is the latest expansion in Silver Ships' Endeavor series of workboats. Tobin is custom designed for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to hydrographically map the mouth of the Mississippi River. The mission-specific vessel allows researchers to accurately and effectively obtain and document data on the river's rapidly changing waters, data that will keep the waterway open and prevent obstructions to marine navigation. The custom vessel conducts condition surveys of the river to further the safety of marine operations. "Tobin will join a fleet of vessels operating out of the USACE Venice Sub Office that works year-round to provide river condition data to vessel operators," Jason Powers, director of business development for Silver Ships, said. "This data is essential to the safe and efficient transportation of goods up and down the Mississippi River." The vessel is powered by twin Caterpillar C18 Tier 3 engines each putting out 800 hp at 2,100 rpm. The package gives the survey boat a top speed of 28 knots, which helps prevent research delays, which is important considering the frequent changes in Mississippi River conditions.
