lecting agent, from the port and/
or starboard bow.
A 100-barrel-capacity heated
reclaimed oil stowage tank is in-
tegrated in each pontoon of the
catamaran hull.
The vessel is equipped with all
the necessary navigational equip-
ment, consisting of two radios—
one Raytheon RAY 58A VHF-
FM, one Raytheon RAY 1209C-
SSB over-the-horizon communica-
tor, 100-w; and a depth sounder-
recorder, Raytheon model DE-
719B, with a Raytheon 724A mod-
el transducer.
This vessel is the second to be
fitted with the Petro Mop system.
The first was the Limpiamar, also
owned by The Lake Committee.
Both vessels operate on the zero-
relative velocity (ZRY) principle,
i.e. the mops are stationary, or
move very slowly, with respect to
the water's surface. The operat-
ing speed of the vessel can be
as much as four knots and main-
tain the ZRV. The positioning of
the mops on the water's surface
is controlled by a hydraulically
powered return system.
With this unique hydraulic re-
turn system, the mops can be
properly positioned to reclaim oil
from relatively rough seas, flot-
sam and debris, and ice floes.
Field experience indicates up to
98 percent efficiency in recovering
floating oil under less than ideal
conditions. The oil has varied in
gravity from API 16° to API
42° in actual operations. Ambient
temperatures have been tropical
in all operations.
At the present, more vessels
using similar systems as in the
Limpiamar and Marlimpia are
being designed by Centrifugal
Systems, Inc. for delivery in 1982.
Centrifugal Systems, Inc. is a
Houston company oriented in oil
spill machinery for picking up or
dispersing oil spills.
Approve Title XI Guarantee
For Two Towboats
Costing Over $3 Million
The Maritime Administration
has approved in principle an ap-
plication by Parker Towing Co.,
Inc., Tuscaloosa, Ala., for a Title
XI guarantee to aid in financing
the construction of two towboats,
the M/V Charles Haun and an-
other, designated Towboat No. 2.
Each vessel will have a length
overall of 85 feet, a molded beam
of 34 feet, and will be rated at
2,000 hp. Hudson Shipbuilders,
Inc., Pascagoula, Miss., and Mis-
sissippi Marine Towboat Corp.,
Greenville, Miss., are the build-
ers of the vessels. The M/V
Charles Haun was delivered in
September; Towboat No. 2 is
scheduled for delivery this month.
Both vessels are expected to be
employed on the Black Warrior-
Tombigbee River system and Gulf
Intracoastal Waterway. The Title
XI guarantee covers $2,272,000 or
about 75 percent of the estimated
actual cost of $3,034,589.
Imperial Oil Planning
Semisub Drilling Rig
With 6,000-Foot Capability
Plans for a semisubmersible
offshore drilling unit capable of
drilling in waters up to 6,000
feet deep are being finalized by
Imperial Oil Ltd., a subsidiary
of Esso Resources, Canada, Ltd.
The rig will be used for a multi-
well drilling program off the
coasts of Newfoundland and Lab-
rador. According to a company
spokesman, the objective is to in-
sure as much Canadian input as
possible on the design, construc-
tion, ownership, and operation of
the rig.
At this stage of development,
Imperial is looking at the possi-
bility of having an international
consortium involved in the rig's
construction, and is evaluating
design proposals. It is anticipated
that all the details involving the
rig will be completed by early
1982.
The semisubmersible will be
similar to the dynamically posi-
tioned Sedco 709, but incorporat-
ing larger deck space. The target
date for completion of the rig is
mid-1983.
