Halter Delivers Catug To
California And Hawaii Sugar Co.
Halter Marine, Inc. of New
Orleans, La., recently delivered
the Moku Pahu, a 113-foot 6-inch
Catug, to the California and Ha-
waiian Sugar Co. of San Fran-
cisco, Calif.
A Catug is the catamaran style
propulsion unit in an integrated
tug/barge system. When mated
to its barge, the HSTC-1 built by
Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine,
the two units have an overall
length of 643 feet.
The Moku Pahu has an 84-foot
beam and 39-foot depth. She is
powered by two Colt Pielstick
14PC2V400 engines developing a
total of 14,000 bhp. They drive
two 18-foot diameter four-bladed
propellers through Lufkin re-
verse/reduction gears with a ra-
tio of 5.28:1. The combined unit
displaces 30,000 tons loaded, and
has a cargo capacity of 1,420,000
cubic feet.
On her first voyage from Ha-
waii to San Francisco she trans-
ported the largest single load of
sugar ever delivered from the is-
lands to the mainland. The inte-
grated tug-barge unit is now in
regular operation between Hawaii
and the U.S. West Coast.
The vessel's fuel oil tanks hold

vessels in the Halter Catug pro-
gram. Two others have been de-

The Catugs are built at Halt-
