Washburn & Doughty Associates, Inc. of East Boothbay, Maine delivered Bull- dog, a 98 x 37 ft., 6,700 hp, Z Drive fire- fighting tug, to Crescent Towing of New Orleans, La. Bulldog provides ship-assist and escort services for LNG tankers at the Elba Island LNG re-gasification terminal in Savannah, Ga. Bulldog is a new Wash- burn & Doughty in-house design and the first tug built at the yard for Crescent Towing. Washburn & Doughty's Chief Naval Architect and Vice President, Bruce Washburn, drew on the company's experi- ence designing and building Z-Drive Tugs for ship docking and LNG operations while designing the 98-ft. Tug. Since 1999, the company has designed and built 18 Z-Drive Tugs, six of which are used at LNG Terminals. With the 98-ft. design, Washburn & Doughty maintained a tradi- tional look while providing 360-degree visibility in the pilothouse. Underwater, the vessel features a deep box skeg designed to enhance escorting without sacrificing maneuverability. Throughout the design process Washburn & Doughty received input from Crescent, Moran Towing Corporation, the shipping compa- nies and their consultant, Greg Brooks. In addition, Washburn & Doughty contract- ed with Glosten Associates who analyzed the tug's escort capability from their escorting computer model. Glosten pre- dicted that at 8 KTS the tug will have steering forces of 75.6 ST and braking forces of 116.2 ST. Bruce Doughty, Washburn & Doughty's President & CEO said, "We have worked on numerous tug bids for LNG operations lately and thereby become very familiar with what terminals and shippers are looking for in a vessel. Our 98-ft. tug addresses what LNG operations need in a tug, particularly as it pertains to power, maneuverability, escorting and firefight- ing capabilities." Bollard pull tests on January 10 in Newport News, Va., revealed: Forward Mode — 180,000 lbs. (90 Tons); Forward Mode Max — 182,000 lbs. (91 Tons). Firefighting 1 equipment includes two Caterpillar 3412C engines rated at 900 hp @ 2,100 rpm and Nijhuis HGTFI-1- 250.500 pumps located in the engine room. The pumps supply two remote con- trolled FiFi 1 monitors mounted on the aft upper deck. Controls for the monitors are in the pilothouse and locally at the moni- tors. The firefighting system also includes a deluge sprinkler system and eight fire stations located on the main deck. Bulldog is powered by two medium speed GE 7FDM12 main engines that each produce 3,350 hp @ 1,050 rpm. According to Bazemore, "The GE power units are remarkable and performing well." The propulsion system is complet- ed by Rolls Royce model US255 Z Drives with 2800mm, 4 blade, stainless steel pro- pellers. Bulldog is equipped with John Deere model 6068TFMGK-99, Tier 2 emissions certified, marine generator sets providing 99 kW @ 1,800 rpm, 208V 3 phase power. In the event that the on-line generator fails, the standby generator will automatically start and go on line. The generator experiencing the failure will be automatically shut down. The main switchboard provides for automatic paral- leling of the generator sets and is integrat- ed with the winch controls. The online generator provides sufficient power to operate the winch in normal (assist) mode. When high power (escort) mode is selected, the standby generator is auto- matically paralleled with the online gener- ator. The bow is fitted with a Markey type DESF-48, 100 hp electric escort winch. The winch drum holds 750 ft. of nine in. synthetic line. The winch features line- pulls up to 365,000 lbs. @ 0- 8 fpm; line- speeds up to 600 FPM; and a drum brake holding capacity of 476,000 lbs utilizing an Eaton water cooled brake. A 15 hp Markey CEWC-60 electric stern hawser capstan is located on the aft deck and a 5 hp Markey CEP-40 electric messenger capstan is fitted on the foredeck. Bow fendering includes 12 x 14 in. rectangular molded rubber on the upper section; 16 in. soft loop on the middle section; and a "Turk's head" style fender on the lower section. 12 x14 in rubber D fender is fit- ted at the main deck on the sides and stern.
