With an overall length of 222 feet, beam of 46 feet, and depth of 20 feet, the U.S.-flag vessel is one of the biggest in the offshore marine service industry. The vessel's innovative "father/ son" propulsion plant features four Stork-Werkspoor diesels of two dif- ferent sizes for maximum power, fuel efficiency, and reliability. The engines are SWDiesel's 8SW280 models, each developing 3,200 bhp at 1,000 rpm; and two 6SW280 mod- els, each with an output of 2,400 bhp at 1,000 rpm. When needed for heavy-duty anchor-handling and towing duties, the full output of 11,200 bhp will be used. During nor- mal supply functions, the vessel will operate on only two engines, reduc- ing fuel consumption to the equiva- lent of a 3,000-bhp supply boat. The vessel is fitted with controlla- ble-pitch propellers in nozzles, and a 720-hp bow thruster powered by a Detroit Diesel 16-V-92 engine. Twin Becker rudders are operated inde- pendently for better maneuverabili- ty and station-keeping. The Gulf Service is powered and equipped to moor new-generation semisubmersible rigs as far north as 60 degrees latitude in the Bering Sea.

The anchor-handling system minimizes rig mooring time and enables the vessel to transfer the rig's mooring system. The vessel's system includes chain lockers and pendant storage reels, with the ca- pacity to store more than 12,000 feet of 3-inch anchor chain and 12,000 feet of 21 a-inch pendant wire. The towing winch is a Fritz-Culv- er low-pressure, hydraulic, double- drum waterfall type, with 586,000 pounds of line pull at stall, and a capacity for 5,900 feet of 212-inch cable on each drum. Other deck machinery includes two 10-ton elec- trohydraulic tuggers above deck and two 5-ton units below deck, and two 10-ton hydraulic capstans.
