Workboats Northwest Spill Response Vessel Serving Hawaiian Islands The 36-foot "Nakue," built by Workboats Northwest, Inc., is re- ported to be one of the fastest oil spill response vessels in the Hawai- ian Islands, according to Marine Logistics president Gordon Smith. Marine Logistics purchased the boat last year and has since been using it for a variety of services. Washburn & Doughty Shipyard of East Boothbay, Maine, has been awarded the contract for a third 130-foot ferry to be built for the State of Maine Department of Transportation. The vessel was designed by Rodney E. Lay Associates and will be 130 feet long, 36 feet wide and have a draft of 10 feet. The vessel will have a CAT 3408 driving a Rice four-blade nibral propeller through a twin disc 516 reduction gear. Shaft- ing is by Aquamet with steering provided by Tenfjord. Power will be provided by three Detroit Diesel 30- kW generators. Cruising speed is expected to be 12 knots. The first passenger/auto ferry, the Captain Henry Lee, was deliv- ered in April 1992. The second vessel is currently under construc- tion and delivery is scheduled for February 1993. The first ferry is providing year- round service on the Bass Harbor/ Swan's Island Frenchboro route. The other ferries will serve Vinalhaven and North Haven Is- lands.
