Munson Introduces Fast, Low-Wake Boat Designed For Harbor Commuter Routes Munson Manufacturing Company of Ed- monds, Wash., recently introduced a fast, fully enclosed, low-wake passenger boat for use par- ticularly in harbor commuter runs. The 30-knot, 30-passenger vessel, the HST Reliable, was put into service by Harbor Trans, Ltd., between Marina Bay in Quincy and Boston's Long Wharf. The boat traverses the course between Boston and Marina Harbor, a development of both resi- dences and offices on the South Shore, in about 15 minutes. The vessel is powered by Volvo/Penta in- MULDOON MARINE SERVICES Commerical Diving/Salvage/Ship Repair 24-Hour Service UNDERWATER PROPELLER POLISHING PRE-DRYDOCK HULLCLEANING UNDERWATER INSPECTION UNDERWATER REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE Servicing the Entire U.S. MULDOON MARINE SERVICES P.O.

Bill Munson, president of the Northwestern aluminum boat-building firm, said that the ves- sel developed for Harbor Trans should have wide application in many harbors. The Harbor Trans boat uses one of Munson's standard Ham- merhead hulls, but the bottom configuration and layout were worked out with Munson engi- neers.

The work is expected to be completed April 1990. The contract was awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C. (N00024-88-C-2212). 'Space-Age' Simulator Program At MarineSafety Prepares Officers To Handle Super Containerships The first phase of a "space-age" program to prepare officers to handle a brand new class of super ships was recently completed in Newport, R.I. In a program not unlike NASA's recent Space Shuttle crew training, MarineSafety In- ternational (MSI), a professional training organ- ization, conducted intensive simulator training for the deck officers who will command five new C-10 containerships. The giant new containerships, now being phased into service by Oakland-based American President Lines (APL), can each carry the equivalent of 4,300 twenty-foot containers at a service speed of 24 knots with a cruising range of 22,000 nautical miles. They are over 900 feet in length and have a post-Panamax beam of 130 feet. The vessels are the biggest, fastest, and most powerful operated by APL. The three-day C-10 shiphandling training program is being conducted for APL by Marine- Safety at their simulator training complex in Newport. Two highly sophisticated ship simula- tors are used. In addition to simulating ship's handling characteristics, the simulators each generate a full color, realtime view of selected harbors as seen from a ship's bridge. Also the depth, bank, current and radar characteristics of the harbor are simulated. MarineSafety, a wholly owned subsidiary of FlightSafety International (NYSE), operates training facilities at La Guardia Airport and Kings Point, N.Y., and Newport, R.I.
