Deepwater, Heavy-Duty Jackup Joins Blue Streak Marine Fleet The Blue Streak Rabbit, a new self-elevating, self-propelled lift- boat capable of serving offshore rigs in waters up to 100 feet deep, and lifting loads from its deck of up to 60 tons, has joined the Blue Streak Marine fleet. The vessel's deepwater capability and heavy-lift capacity can save contractors hundreds of thousands of dollars per job over other methods, according to Den- nis Good, president of the Blue Streak companies that built and op- erate the boat. The Rabbit is 101 feet 9 inches long, with a 69.5-foot beam and 9- foot depth. She is fitted with three 160-foot, 48-inch-diameter legs, per- mitting work in water up to 100 feet. Her 2,240-square-foot open deck can accommodate 200,000 pounds of deck cargo, and her 60-ton-capacity Blue Streak crane has a lattice boom of 110 feet; an additional 20 feet of boom is available. The vessel is also equipped with a 15-ton auxiliary crane. The new liftboat, which cruises at 12 knots, is powered by two Detroit New Product Tankers 40,000 DWT Product Oil Carrier • Dimensions LOA/LBP/BM/DM . 172 20/164.0/32 2/16.6 M Draft Designed/Scantling 11.20/11.20 M • DWT & Capacity DWT at 11.20 M Draft 39,600 DWT Cargo Oil Tanks 47.700 M> Main Engine Hyundai - B&W 6L60MCE DMCR 8,960 BHPx 91 RPM NCR 8,060 BHP x 88 RPM F.O.

Ship's service and other electrical power is pro- vided by two 75-kw generators driv- en by two Detroit Diesel 671N en- gines. The air conditioned vessel has quarters, galley, and laundry accom- modations for a crew of 32, and is equipped with a water desaliniza- tion unit and a sewage treatment system. Capacities include 5,000 gallons of fuel oil, 6,000 gallons of potable water, 1,000 gallons of hy- draulic oil, and 150 gallons of lube oil. The vessel can jack itself up at a speed of nine feet per minute using a closed-loop hydraulic system. American Bureau of Shipping Rules were used as guidelines in both design and construction by Blue Streak Industries, Inc., which built the boat and the crane at its Pearlington, Miss., shipyard. The boat's operator, sister company Blue Streak Marine of Belle Chasse, La., operates one of the world's larg- est fleets of liftboats. Blue Streak has manufacturing li- censing agreements with shipyards in Brazil and Singapore.

The free publication, which con- tains drawings of the model J-70 barge pump, offers a complete parts and standard material list, along with three selection tables. The ta- bles are divided into viscosity SSU; pressure—psi; GPM; and bhp. The Warren J-70 barge pump is a positive displacement screw pump featuring a four-screw design for ex- cellent suction capability. A major feature of the design is its extremely low maintenance requirements. Special bearing construction pro- vides wide liquid-handling capabili- ties. The pump fits standard barge dimensions, and its length can be tailored to a particular barge depth. The design handles both light oil and heavy oil barge requirements, pumping light hydrocarbons as well as viscous asphalts. A Warren barge pump can be con- verted from wet pit to dry pit by the simple addition of an elbow. The pump's excellent suction-lift capa- bility allows it to handle a wide vari- ety of liquids through the suction headers on multi-compartmented barges. For further information on the J- 70 wet pit and dry pit screw-type barge pumps from Warren Pumps, and your free copy of this new bro- chure, Circle 77 on Reader Service Card HHI is proud to introduce two standard product tankers that reflect its vast experience in construction, selected inquiries from shipowners, plus its in-depth research on operational and maintenance economy.
