| 摘要： | In June, Vessel Repair Inc., Port Arthur, Texas, delivered the steel-hulled 100'×34'×10'9" towboat Freedom to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The boat was designed by Sterling Marine, Fairhope Ala. It has a draft of 9'5" and a deadweight tonnage of 479 gt. The towboat is reportedly the first Tier 4 towboat commissioned by a government agency and joins the exclusive ranks of the few Tier 4-pow-ered towboats that navigate the inland waterways, according to TVA officials. Main propulsion comes from two Caterpillar 3512E Tier 4 engines, each generating 1,341 hp. The Cats, supplied by Thompson CAT, Nashville, Tenn., are paired with Twin Disc MGX-5600 gears from Sewart Supply, Morgan City, La. The 5-blad-ed, 58"x85" propellers were supplied by Sound Propeller Services, Seattle. |
