| 摘要： | Destrehan, La.-based Gnots Reserve Inc. has added a new boat to its fleet following the May 13 delivery of the mv. Jack Estes. Eymard Marine Construction & Repair of Harvey, La., built the Jack Estes, which features an octagonal pilothouse atop a spindle rather than a middle deck. The innovative pilothouse design was first conceived of and employed in the late 2000s, when Gnots Reserve was in the midst of building a series of six tow-boats at its facility near Mile 118 on the Lower Mississippi River. Gnots Reserve President Dan Wise developed the pilothouse design, which was first used on the mv. Damian Wise and later on the mv. Ms. Danielle, both of which remain part of the Gnots Reserve fleet. Besides offering wheelmen a 360-de-gree, unobstructed view, the pilothouse, in eliminating the need for a second deck, gives the Jack Estes excellent maneuverability, both with a tow and light boat. The reduced weight makes the vessel quicker and more efficient, said Ryan Hayes, port engineer for Gnots Reserve, who oversaw construction of the vessel. |
