(77.7 m), 14,000-bhp anchor han- dling/towing supply vessels (AH/TS). The 14,000 bhp will be produced by four GM EMD 16-645- F7B diesel engines driving Berg CP propellers in Kort-type nozzles through Reintjes compound reverse/reduction gears. This con- figuration is designed to ensure a bollard pull of approximately 160 metric tons. The compound gears give the captain the flexibility to disengage two of the four engines for greater fuel economy. The boats' 2,000-kW Texas Instruments NightSight gives you the ability to navigate more safely than ever before. This technology uses NIGHTSIGHT™ , Thermal Imaging Solutions thermal imaging to help distinguish objects and people on the water up to 1800 feet away when visibility is limited by inclement weather, smoke or complete darkness.
