Salvage and Fishing Co. of Honolu- lu, the new vessel is named for the now-rare wild goose that is the state bird of Hawaii. Uaukewai president Jimmy Smith points out that the Nene is not a tug, but rather a specialized workboat with a specific mission. She is designed for use in the petro- leum industry as a mooring assist, diving, and emergency standby ves- sel to be stationed at an offshore oil terminal at Barbers Point, five miles off the island of Oahu. The Nene is 64 feet 3 inches long with a beam of 21 feet and a depth of 8 feet. She is powered by a pair of GM 12V71 diesels with a combined 800 horsepower, driving Coolidge 42-inch four-blade bronze propel- lers through Twin Disc marine gears. Auxiliary power is provided by two Nissan diesels coupled to 20- kw Lima generators. Hydraulic power comes from a MARCO Hy- draulic Pump Drive connected to the starboard main engine. The switchboard and electrical system were provided by Harris Electric, and the engine controls by Math- ers. Deck machinery aboard the Nene consists of a 22-ton hydraulic winch built by Lentec of Canada. Below her raised pilothouse, the Nene boasts some very comfortable and thoughtfully laid-out accommo- dations, including a complete galley, dinette area, and berthing for a crew of three. In keeping with her work- ing environment, the new boat's in- terior is fully air-conditioned. Electronics and navigational aids aboard include radar and two VHF radios by Raytheon, a Northern SSB radio, a Ross depth sounder, a Furuno satellite navigation system, a Wagner Mk 4 autopilot and com- pass, and a Raytheon three-station intercom system.
