Outstanding Oceangoing Vessels of 1985 (continued) erate safely and reliably in open ocean trade. The new vessel has an overall length of 280 feet, beam of 45 feet, and design draft of 16.5 feet. She is powered by two GM Electro-Motive Division 8-645E7C diesel engines developing a total of 2,900 bhp, driving Lips propellers via Reintjes WAV 1450 reverse/reduction gears with WABCO controls. Two Detroit Diesel 8V71 engines drive 120-kw International Electric generators for ship's service electrical power. Com- pressed air for starting the main and auxiliary engines is provided by two Quincy D325 air compressors. The 25,700-barrel capacity of the Eastern Sun is handled by three Goulds deepwell and one Sier Bath self-priming cargo pumps. These are driven by Detroit Diesel 8V71 en- gines. The cargo pump engines are located in a heated deck machinery room, providing effective weather and sea protection. To gain substantial economic benefits of reduced manning, the new tanker was designed to full unattended engine room require- ments (the American Bureau ACCU notation), with automation equip- ment provided by Harbor Marine Engineering. Mooring operations are accom- plished through the use of deck ma- chinery powered by a central hy- draulic system. Redundant hydrau- lic pumps are driven by front power takeoffs attached to the cargo pump engines. A hydraulic fixed-boom crane is provided for cargo hose handling. In addition to the dual- wildcat anchor windlass, two moor- ing winches and a vertical capstan are installed for handling lines, all provided by New England Trawler. Navigation and communications aids and controls include two Ray- theon Marine Pathfinder radars, electric autopilot and steering con- trol system, and fully automatic Lo- ran C and RDF equipment, as well Manitou—Paul Lindenau (page 36).
