SHALLOW WATER HOVERCRAFT SYSTEM SYSTEM NUMBER P20000 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Shallow Water Hovercraft System P20000 consists of a 36-foot, diesel-powered, hovercraft-type workboat equipped with a VHF marine mobile radio, a radar, a 50-foot shore power cable, and a tool box. The following ancillary items are onboard: a compass, anchor and anchor line, headsets for communicating inside the vessel, life preservers, a first aid kit, a flare kit, spare skirt segments, spare skirt cable, skirt repair kit, spare parts, oil, fuel, and air filters, oil, electrical fuses, light bulbs, a hover beacon, a flashlight, and all the necessary manuals for operating, maintaining, and servicing the 36’ Hovercraft WB0975. The P20000 system is designed to support the inflatable boom tending boats, which are generally smaller, slower, and usually busy with their task of tending boom. During large spill operations, skimmers and maintenance vessels can be scattered over very large distances; 100 miles is not uncommon. The Shallow Water Hovercraft System makes it possible to supply crews with meals, parts, water, and other necessary items, as well as tend to emergencies and change out relief crews.

WORKBOAT, 36’ HOVERCRAFT, DIESEL ESSM NUMBER WB0975 DESCRIPTION The 36’ Hovercraft WB0975 is a fully amphibious hovercraft capable of carrying a crew of four and as many as nine passengers. The craft operates on a cushion of low pressure air, contained under the craft by a flexible, segmented rubber skirt. The skirt allows the craft to lift approximately 23 inches above the operating surface, and obstacles not exceeding this height will pass under and through the flexible skirt with a minimum of drag. Air for the cushion is supplied by a centrifugal-type fan situated forward of the engine. Air is drawn through a louver into the air intake bay and then into the central eye of the fan. Air is directed into the skirt through ducts on each side of the craft. Power to the lift fan and the propeller is supplied by a Cummins 6CTA 8.3M-1 water-cooled engine. The engine is protected by a knit mesh filter system through which cooling and combustion air is drawn. The knit mesh filters are removable for cleaning and for access to the service bay. Two doors provide access to the engine for routine servicing; for major overhauls the access doors can be removed.

RADIO, VHF, MARINE MOBILE, ESSM NUMBER RA1831 ICOM (58-CHANNEL) DESCRIPTION The Icom VHF Marine Mobile Radio RA1831 is a marine VHF/FM transceiver with intercom features and a public address system in a moisture-resistant console. The radio requires a supply voltage of 13.8- volt dc negative ground and operates in the frequency range of 156-163 MHz The radio has 58 programmed marine transmit/receiver channels and 10 weather channels. The radio has the following advanced features: voltage source deviation indicator; 25W of high transmission output power; dual watch and a variety of scans; 20 user-programmed memory channels; momentary high power on Channels 13 and 67; single-tone, double high-tone, and double low-tone beeps; high sensitivity and strong intermodulation rejection; and a built-in lithium battery to retain the information programmed into the memory channels. The life of the lithium battery is approximately 5 years. The Icom radio models IC-M56, IC-M58, and IC-M402S are currently in use in the ESSM System with their appropriate instruction manuals. All models are functionally equivalent. SPECIFICATIONS Manufacturer Icom Model IC-M56 IC-M58 IC-M402S General Usable temperature range -20° to +60°C (-4 to +140°F) Power supply voltage 13.8 V dc negative ground Channels: Transmit 58 Weather 10 Receiver: Frequency range 156 to 163 MHz Audio output power 4W with a 4-ohm load Intermediate frequency 1st: 21.8 MHz; 2nd: 455 kHz Transmitter: Frequency range 156 to 157.5 MHz Output power 25 W high, 1 W low

RADAR, MODEL 1700/1730/1724C ESSM NUMBER RD0001 DESCRIPTION The Furuno Model 1700/1730/1724C Radar RD0001 is a standard radar (radio detection and ranging) unit used to indicate a target object’s range and bearing location. The radar unit determines the distance to a target by calculating the time difference between the transmission of a radar signal and reception of the reflected echo The range and bearing of a target is displayed on a visual indicating screen. This display shows the transmitting ship’s position at the center. Target image echoes are received and displayed as a sight signal on the visual display screen and show the distance and relative bearing from the transmitting vessel. The motion of the transmitting ship is also displayed along with the target images.
