Pro Mariner Hyde Names Two New Vice Presidents Parker Hay Kurt Gyllenhaal Jamie Roehm Circle 212 on Reader Service Card 6 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News The Delaware Pilots Association of Philadelphia recently took de- livery of a new 51-foot, steel-hull pilot boat named the Philadelphia (shown above). Built by Gladding- Hearn Shipbuilding Corporation of Somerset, Mass., and designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates of Bos- ton, the twin-screw, 18-knot craft is an all-weather boat powered by two GM Detroit Diesel Allison 8V-92NA engines, each rated 350 bhp at 2,100 rpm. These drive two 30/28-inch Columbian propellers via Allison 1.97:1 reverse/reduction gears and Aquamet 17 shafts. The Philadelphia is a virtual copy of the pilot boat Delaware, built for the Association by Gladding-Hearn Hyde Products, Inc., designers and manufacturers of ship's deck machinery, steering systems, oil spill recovery equipment and other marine and industrial equipment, recently announced the appoint- ment of two new vice presidents at its Cleveland headquarters. Parker L. Hay has been named vice president, engineering with cor- porate responsibility for engineer- ing, production and materials con- trol. Mr. Hay has been Hyde's chief engineer since 1975 and has been a member of Hyde's engineering team since the company moved to Cleve- land from Bath, Maine, in 1969. He has been involved in all aspects of Hyde's marine and industrial busi- nesses and is a member of SNAME and ASTM Committee F-25 on Shipbuilding. Mr. Hay is the au- thor of several SNAME technical papers and is currently chairman of the ASTM F-25 Deck Machinery Subcommittee Steering Gear Task Group. Kurt Gyllenhaal is Hyde's new vice president, marketing with over- all responsibility for Hyde's marine marketing, sales and service activi- ties. He was formerly marine sales manager and was responsible for negotiating contracts with the Re- public of Korea Navy and several Korean shipyards which have re- sulted in 19 shipsets of deck ma- chinery and steering system orders being placed with Hyde over the past four years. He was also instru- mental in obtaining recent orders for Hyde equipment for current U.S. Navy newbuilding programs. The new appointments were an- nounced by Thomas P. Mackey, Hyde president and CEO, who also announced the promotion of Ms. Jamie Roehm to the position of comptroller of the firm and manager of administrative services. She had been manager of the bookkeeping department and has been with Hyde in various accounting capacities since June 1973. In addition to her accounting management duties, Ms. Roehm will also be responsible for office, personnel and general ad- ministrative services. Another Fast Delaware Pilots Boat Delivered By Gladding-Hearn Yard in 1979, but the new boat incorpo- rates some minor changes and im- provements not found in her sister vessel. These include heated hand- rails, a second radar, and a slightly altered pilothouse. Aside from these added features, both vessels offer their operators identical perfor- mance and amenities. It was in 1979, in a trend-setting move, that the Delaware Pilots brought their operations ashore. The delivery of the Delaware was an integral part of this innovative change in operations. She gave the pilots their first all-weather, high- speed craft for making the longer runs from shore to the rough waters off the Delaware Capes. Although the Delaware Pilots have four other boats, all built by Gladding-Hearn, they are not as fast as the Delaware and the new Philadelphia. Largely because of the versatility and per- formance of the Delaware, the move ashore has proved to be an out- standing success for the Delaware Pilots. As the Delaware Pilots typically have two boats in service at any giv- en time, it is reasonable to assume that these Gladding-Hearn twins will see the lion's share of Delaware Bay piloting service. While the older boats will still be used for their indi- vidual specialties, such as in heavy ice, the Philadelphia and the Dela- YOUR SHIP JUST CAME IN.
