Chapter One APPLICATIONS the added value of vessel unsinkability. Shell Offshore Inc. has taken delivery of a 24 foot version for use near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Figure 1-11 shows a typical cargo configuration of the type of vessel delivered to Shell. Figure 1-11 Cargo Configuration for Textron Marine’s Utility Air Cushion Vehicle - Model 1200 [Textron Marine] Passenger Ferries Blount Marine Blount Marine has developed a proprietary construction process they call Hi-Ttehcaht involves the application of rigid polyurethane foam over an aluminum stiffening structure. A fleet of these vessels have been constructed for New York City commuter runs. Karlskronavarvet, AB Karlskronavarvet, AB in Karlskrona, Sweden, is among several European shipyards that build passengerandautomobileferries. TheSurfaceEffectShip(SJEeSt)R,iderisahighspeed passenger ferry designed and fabricated by Karlskronavarvet in 1986 for service in Norway. The SES Jet Rideris an air cushioned vehicle structured entirely of GRP sandwich. The SES configuration resembles a traditional catamaran except that the hulls are much narrower. The bow and stern are fitted with flexible seals that work in conjunction with the hulls to trap the air cushion. The air cushion carries about 85% of the total weight of the ship with the remaining 15% supported by the hulls. The design consists of a low density PVC cellular plastic core material with closed, non-water-absorbing cells, covered with a face material of glass fiber reinforced polyester plastic. The complete hull, superstructure and foundation for the main engines and gears are also built of GRP sandwich. Tanks for fuel and water are made of hull-integrated sandwich panels. The speed under full load is 42 knots (full load includes 244 passengers and payload totaling 27 metric tons). [1-10] 13 'PDF Image | Marine Componsites
