| 摘要： | Florida Marine Transporters recently put into service the third of six identical 2,000 hp. towboats from Steiner Shipyard. The Mandeville, La.-based barge line took delivery of the mv. Falcon July 21. The other 2,000 hp. vessels are the towboats Eric Brumfield and Steven Sikes. The next vessel in this series, to be named Bronco, is due to be completed in December. Designed by Sterling Marine and built by Steiner Shipyard at its facility in Bayou La Batre, Ala., the Falcon is a conventional twin-screw towboat that measures 76 by 35 by 11 feet. The main engines are Caterpillar C32 Tier 3 units provided by Louisiana Cat. Coupled to Twin Disc 540 reduction gears with a 7:1 ratio from Sewart Supply, the engines turn Sound 76- by 68-inch propellers on 7-inch shafts with Sim-plan 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. |
