Workboats

It was Sam who started playing sea shanties when they really needed to get the rhythm of flying the ship synchronized. Campbell didn’t approve, seeing it as distracting, but Shae thought it was a good idea. After they saw how effective the songs were at keeping everyone in time, Campbell pointed out a metronome would do the same work, so Shae had to pull them aside and actively explain.

It was a little irritating because this was such a simple concept. People would tune out a metronome. They wouldn’t tune out sea shanties because sea shanties were fun. Campbell came around, though, and Shae couldn’t quite hold on to the irritation when Campbell started humming the shanties in their spare time.

Takapu 2 berthed at Lighter Quay. May, 2024.

There are quite a number of interesting vessels that live between Lighter Quay and Westhaven Marina, and this one is no exception.

Built by Whangarei Engineering and Construction Co (WECO) for the RNZN as a Moa-class inshore patrol boat, it was commissioned in 1980 and named HMNZS Takapu. Likely in reference to the Tākapu.

In 2000, it was decommissioned, and upon sale was "creatively" renamed Takapu 2.

I initially thought it was a tug or workboat as WECO are famed for their tugs and workboats, having even built one for Western Sāmoa. However, some googling revealed its true history as a former RNZN vessel.

Excerpt from this story from Canary Media:

With their roaring diesel engines, tugboats push, pull and guide much larger vessels into port and out to sea. They are small but mighty — and incredibly dirty, spewing huge amounts of toxic exhaust and planet-warming emissions every year.

Now, however, the humble harbor craft is going electric.

America’s first fully battery-powered tugboat recently docked at the Port of San Diego, where officials are working to decarbonize not just tugs but also diesel cranes and trucks. The electric tug was built over three years at an Alabama shipyard, then moved through the Panama Canal before arriving in Southern California earlier this spring.

“We’re ecstatic,” Frank Urtasun, the port’s chairman, told Canary Media. ​“This electric tugboat is a real game-changer that I think will have ramifications across the country.”

The 82-foot-long vessel is set to begin operating within the coming weeks, as soon as the shoreside charging infrastructure is completed, according to Crowley. The Florida-based company owns and operates the electric boat — named ​“eWolf” in honor of Crowley’s first tug, the early 1900s Seawolf — and everything that’s needed to keep it running.

The eWolf is launching as ports and cities around the world are pushing to decarbonize their industrial waterfronts.

Globally, the cargo-shipping sector accounts for around 3 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions every year. While giant, oil-guzzling freighters tend to draw more public scrutiny for their large environmental impact, many thousands of smaller vessels and workboats are also major sources of both carbon emissions and local pollution.

In the U.S., state and regional policies are increasingly requiring operators to slash emissions from vessels, cranes, forklifts and other diesel-burning equipment. About 39 million people live in close proximity to ports, many of whom are lower-income residents and people of color.

An infusion of government funding has recently emerged to support those efforts. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act includes $3 billion for zero-emission port equipment and infrastructure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to announce the recipients of that funding later this year — along with the winners of a separate $115 million program under the 2022-2023 Diesel Emissions Reduction Act.

Today in Great Lakes shipping history. May 26th.

2023: Cuyahoga towed to Kingsville to unload.

The fire-damaged Cuyahoga was towed into Kingsville, ON, Thursday evening, arriving about 9 p.m. McKeil Marine’s tug Ecosse was at the bow and tug Stormont was on the stern. The arrival was not without incident, as the vessel ran aground on her way into the harbor.

Photos showed her minus her port anchor, which had to be cut away as there was no power to raise it. They also showed a ladder over the starboard side near the bow with what appeared to be a workboat tethered to it.

Cuyahoga was carrying a cargo of stone for Kingsville when she was disabled by an engine room fire off Point Pelee in Lake Erie Tuesday night. The stone cargo will need to be unloaded at Southwestern Sales Co. before Cuyahoga is taken for repairs, lay up or retirement. Power is being provided by auxiliary generators. There is no information available as to what the future has in store for the 1943-built lakes veteran.

Kaveh couldn't believe his eyes when he saw such a beautiful mermaid, stranded on the beach of his small hometown. She was the most beautiful being he has ever seen but he also was so worried about her. And so, he rushed to the mermaid and did his best so she came back to her consciousness.

Some moments later, he looked into her beautiful eyes and his heart skipped a beat. An inferno of butterflies began to build up in his stomach while heat rose up to his cheeks.

You were so beautiful, Kaveh thought. The most beautiful being he has ever seen. Unfortunately, mermaids get hunted in his hometown and so he has to keep you safe and let you go into the ocean again - but before you dived into the water, you promised him to come back.

And that you did.

Every sunset the both of you meet again on the exact same spot where the both of you first met. You spend the time differently, be it by talking, playing games, you showing Kaveh the life under the water (as much as possible), or anything else.

Kaveh truly considered himself as blessed to get to meet someone as wonderful and gracious as you, although some may see your love as "wrong", for the both of you was one thing for sure; it was real. It was strong.

You both truly loved each other.

Украина получила от Эстонии два патрульных катера

2 мая 2024 года Военно-морские силы Украины официально ввели в строй два малых сторожевых катера, переданных Эстонией в рамках военной помощи. Катера, ранее известные как P 01 Roland и P 02 Risto в составе ВМС Эстонии, теперь получили новые имена Р 182 «Ирпень» и Р 183 «Рени». Эти катера были построены эстонской судостроительной компанией Baltic Workboats AS по проекту Patrol 18 WP. Стоимость контракта, заключенного в апреле 2020 года, составила 3,9 миллиона евро. Катера спущены на воду в декаб... Читать дальше »
