| 摘要： | Mike's Inc., from its shipyard in Wood River, Ill., at Mile 198.8 on the Upper Mississippi River, has completed final touches to the new-construction towboat mv. Bianca Marko. Workers finished in February, after whittling away at the project as time allowed, said Mike Marko Jr., general manager. The project allowed Mike's to keep its employees busy during slower times, which can be common for yards on the upper rivers. It also allowed Mike's to once again leverage its 56 years of experience servicing the river industry. This 72- by 30- by 11-foot, twin-screw towboat was designed by Mike's founder and owner Mike Marko Sr. and Casey Herschler, an independent marine architect. The vessel has a pilothouse eyelevel of 30 feet and can hold 20,000 gallons of fuel and 15,800 gallons of water. Named Bianca Marko after Mike Marko Sr. s mother, the 2,000 hp. vessel is driven by a pair of Cat 32 diesel engines from Fabick turning 74-inch stainless steel propellers through ZF reduction gears with a 5.952:1 ratio. Mike's manufactured the 7-inch shafts in-house; Wart-sila supplied the seals. The sturdy vessel features half-inch, plasma-cut framing rather than the normal angle framing, said Mike Marko Jr. |
