Atlantic Marine To Build Caterpillar-Powered Longliner Processor Profile of the 123- by 32-foot longliner pro- cessor Aleutian Chalice. The Caterpillar- powered vessel will be used for fishing in the Bering Sea. Atlantic Marine, Inc. of Jackson- ville, Fla., recently signed a contract with Chalice Trawlers Corporation of Edmonds, Wash., to build the Aleutian Chalice, a 123-foot by 32- foot longliner processor. The vessel was designed by Rodney E. Lay & Associates of Jacksonville. The longliner will be powered by two Caterpillar 3408 main engines with Twin Disc MG516 reduction gears and two 185-kw 3306 Caterpil- lar generators supplied by N.C. Ma- rine of Seattle. Sabroe Refrigeration will furnish the refrigeration equip- ment, and the longline fishing equipment will be supplied by Mar- co. The electronic package will be furnished by Harris Electronics, also of Seattle. Marine Laboratories of Ervine, Calif., will supply the two 500-gpd water makers. The Aleutian Chalice will be de- livered in late summer of 1989 and will be joined by her sister ship Sil- ver Chalice for fishing in the Bering Sea. The Silver Chalice was also built by Atlantic Marine. Located at the intersection of the St. Johns River and Intracoastal Waterways in Jacksonville, Fla., At- lantic Marine, Inc. constructs steel- hulled vessels, including fishing ves- sels, research vessels, ferry boats, tugs, barges and specialized vessels for offshore and river use.

The vessel, ordered by the USSR Minis- try of Communications, was named Anadyr. The 742-foot-long by 89.5-foot wide Anadyr is suitable for the transport of barges and rolling and wheeled cargoes as well as container cargoes. The cargo can be unloaded either by deck cranes, barges, through the aft ramp or by helicop- ters. The loading and discharging of the barges into and out of the vessel can be done by submerging the ves- sel to the draught required, so that the barges can be floated into or out of the cargo space. January, 1989 13 The helidrome of the vessel has been designed for two helicopters, and it is equipped with an air con- trol tower. The Anadyr, which carries a crew of 70, can achieve a speed of 20 knots.
