The city is asking the state legislature to appropriate $38.5 million for construction of a medium draft port near the mouth of the Snake River. The project is the number one priority for marine construction in north- ern Alaska, according to State Department of Transportation and Public Facilities of- ficial Jonathan Widdis. The facilities will eliminate the need to transfer freight at sea to smaller coastal barges to bring it ashore. Today the cost of "lighterage" is about 25 percent of the freight cost from Seattle. The port layout, prepared by the engi- neering firm Tippetts-Abbett-McCarthy - Stratton (TAMS), features a 3,600-foot rub- ble mound causeway leading to an offshore terminal. Short-term storage and marshal- ing areas will be available at the seaward end, with about 60 acres onshore for con- tainer and general cargo storage. Additional piers and service areas can be added as needed for offshore oil company activities year-round. The causeway can be extended another 1,000 to 1,500 feet to provide berths for bulk ore carriers. With potential year-round use in mind, along with the need to keep maintenance and construction costs at a minimum, en- gineers have designed an ice-resistant cause- way that also will withstand the strong erosive forces of Norton Sound's high winds and waves during late summer and autumn storms. The causeway's design is based in part on studies conducted by the Institute of Hydraulics Research of the University of Iowa. A model of the causeway was placed in a 60-foot by 20-foot tank where sheets of ice were pushed up against it. A major objective was to develop a way to prevent the ice from overriding the cause- way. The tests showed that, despite the spe- cial sloping design created for the sides of the causeway, ice still moved over the model. As a result, TAMS project manager Michael Horton said the design philosophy is now one of management rather than prevention. "The causeway is designed to accommodate ice override as an occasional event," he said. This will be done by building the sides at a slope. One side will be built higher than the other, so that ice override can be bull- dozed off. "The cost savings of this system over an elaborate ice prevention scheme are substantial," Mr. Horton said. To help prevent the causeway from erod- ing, large boulders will be placed on the slopes to act as breakwater barriers. Test- ing at the University of Florida will tell engineers more about the size of boulders needed to help stabilize the slopes, but Mr. Horton estimated rocks as large as 20 tons will be used. The dock will be built with circular con- crete caissons. Thirty of the large tub-shaped forms will be barged from the Lower 48 and sunk into place at the seaward end of the causeway to form the dock face. The circular caissons will stand up better than the traditional box-shaped forms under the direct stress of the waves. Another feature of the causeway design is the inclusion of a "fish breach": a small bridge near the shoreline to permit salmon and other species of fish to migrate freely. Preliminary studies are complete and final design work was recently submitted to city officials by TAMS. If the legislature ap- proves the requested $38.5-million for con- struction, the port project could go to bid during late summer, 1983, according to Nome city manager Ivan Widom. Hoffert Manufacturing Awards Caribbean Cruise At SNAME Exposition Robert Mende, secretary of SNAME (left), shown with Paul E. Hoffert, president of Hoffert Manufacturing Co. Hoffert Manufacturing Co., Jacksonville, Fla., was an exhibitor at the recent First International Maritime Exposition held in New York and sponsored by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. On Friday, November 19, Hoffert had a drawing for a four-day cruise for two on- board the S.S. Emerald Sea, of Eastern Cruise Lines, from Miami to the Caribbean. Robert Mende, Secretary of SNAME, made the drawing and the winner was Joseph Wren III, vice president, engineering and construction of Amoco Transportation Co. Hoffert manufactures "Fire-Brite," a Fuel Oil Water Emulsification System for burn- ing emulsified fuel in both marine and in- dustrial boilers. Hoffert states "Fire-Brite" is guaranteed to keep the combustion system clean, reduce the oxygen level and lower the number of times necessary to blow tubes. Hoffert has perfected a marine system which has been proven onboard many ves- sels including those operated by Amoco, Texaco, Delta Lines, Eastern Cruise Lines, US Gypsum Co., and the Military Sealift Command, to name a few. The systems aboard these vessels have both saved fuel and increased efficiency. The emulsion is consistently in the one to two micron range thereby giving the most efficient burn, and the company re- ports it has the only system matching the unique turndown ratios necessary on a ma- rine system. Hoffert further states the "Fire-Brite" System pays for itself in that the payback is three to four months based on fuel, soot blowing, and maintenance savings.
