Bethlehem Beaumont To Build
Mammoth Seagoing Barge
To Transport 235,000 Bbls.
Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Beaumont, Tex-
as yard has received a contract to build a huge
tank barge capable of carrying 28,000 long tons
of petroleum products for Sabine Towing &
Transportation Co., Inc., a subsidiary of Chrom-
alloy America Corp.
The mammoth seagoing barge will be one of the
largest ever built, and will have a capacity of
235,000 barrels at a draft of 32 feet in salt water.
It will have an overall length of 520 feet, breadth
of 85 feet and depth of 40 feet. To be certified by
the U.S. Coast Guard for the transportation of
Grade A petroleum products, the barge will be
classed by the American Bureau of Shipping for
A-l Ocean Service. Delivery of the barge is
scheduled for August 1971.
With almost twice the capacity of the conven-
tional T-2 tanker, the World War II standard,
this huge barge will be towed or pushed by tugs
to east coast ports of the United States from Gulf
coast refineries. A deep notch is provided at the
stern of the craft together with adjustable skegs
to permit either towing or pushing.
The Sabine barge will have three U.S. Pump
Co. automatic prime deep well pumps rated at
4,500 gpm at 328-foot head, driven by General
Motors radiator-cooled diesel engines developing
about 550 hp at 1,800 rpm. For handling of small
quantities of mixed cargo, one pair of tanks will
be divided into four smaller tanks by an additional
transverse bulkhead. These tanks will be serviced
by two interconnected 2,250-gpm U.S. Pump au-
tomatic prime deep well pumps driven by suitable
General Motors radiator-cooled diesel engines.
Cargo boom winches as well as the eight Pat-
terson mooring winches, anchor windlass and cap-
stan will be operated by a Tyrone hydraulic pump
driven by a General Motors 6-71 diesel engine.
A 150-pound Quincy air compressor will be
clutched to this engine and sized to use its full
power. A five-hp 150-pound electric driven air
compressor will also be installed. Electric power
will be furnished by a 20-kw General Motors die-
sel engine driven generator.
All pumps and other machinery will be enclosed
in suitable houses on deck. The paint system will
include coating of the interior of tanks.
The RF 100 SS is a 100,000 lb. line pull, two drum, side by
side type powerhouse.
Yet, the key word at Red Fox is custom.
The winch can be manufactured to any specific line pull.
All Red Fox custom winches have the following built-in
prerequisites.
1. Simplicity in design.
2. Balance equipment including power train and
prime movers.
3. Superior Craftsmanship which will allow
the balanced equipment to run
its full expected life.
