BP's Site Team Member Richard Blaine activated a robotic welding machine and cut the first piece of steel for the new ship. "These double-hull tankers are among the most environmentally friendly ships ever built, incorporating the latest in tanker design and construction," said Richard Vortmann, president of NASSCO. "They will provide BP with the best available technology to protect 14 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News K&C Wins $6F •hmhhhhhhhbhhhhhhhhhh Knight & Carver YachtCenter, in partnership with M Ship Co. of San Diego, has been awarded a $6 million contract to construct a high-speed 80 x 40-ft. transport vessel for the U.S. Navy. Characterized by its patented, carbon-fiber "double-M" hull - which is designed to provide remarkable stability, maneuverability and a minimal wake at high speeds - the "M Ship 80" will be built by Knight & Carver in approximately eight months, with work expected to start Nov. 1, 2004. The vessel — most accurately described as a large-scale, high-speed test platform — was designed by the marine design firm of M Ship Co., headed by Charles Robinson and William Burns. The M Ship 80 project has been sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Defense's Office of Force Transformation (OFT) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, headquartered in Newport, R.I. The vessel will be powered by four Caterpillar engines, with an anticipated cruising speed of 40 to 50 knots. It features a unique M-Hull, given that name because its hull consists of two M-shaped hulls adjacent to each other. "This contract marks a significant step for- ward for our company," said Sampson Brown, president and CEO of Knight & Carver. "While we have repaired a wide vari- ety of military vessels in recent years, this is the first major military construction project we have undertaken. We are proud to join in this exciting partnership with M Ship Co. and the U.S. Navy."
