| 摘要： | When Sunshine, La.-based Chem Carriers put the mv. Brooke Banta into service in 2011, Louisiana maritime industry veteran Warren Berthelot was there, having shepherded that project to completion as the company's chief engineer. The Brooke was the first of three vessels Chem Carriers built with Z-drives. The other two are the mv. Frank Banta Jr. and the mv. Capt. Robert J. Banta, both retractables. And now, roughly 12 years after the Brooke Banta first went to work for Chem Carriers, Berthelot has overseen its repowering, with a new set of Mitsubishi main engines and a pair of Steer-prop thrusters installed at Verret Shipyard, where he now serves in a similar role. Rodriguez Boat Builders in Bayou La Batre, Ala., built the hull of the Brooke Banta, with Chem Carriers completing the vessel at its Plaquemine Point Shipyard, which was sold to VLS Environmental Solutions about a year ago. Original- ly, the 70- by 28-foot towboat offered 1,200 hp. from a pair of Mitsubishi S6R main engines, which turned Z-drives from ZF. |
