Boom Handling Boat P03100

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The Boom Handling Boat (BHB) System P03100 contains a SUPSALV 24-foot boom handling boat that provides a powerful all weather towboat for the purpose of handling the containment boom and skimmer systems. These boats can be air shipped or hauled over the road with no oversize load restrictions. Each boat is equipped with a sturdy tow bitt, a rudder, a marine and CB radio, a trailer, and radar.

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 model IC-M56 is currently being replaced with the IC-M58 model. The system may contain either model and instruction manual. Both models have similar features, except that the IC-M58 model contains an emergency channel 9.

DESCRIPTION

The Furuno Model 1700/1730 Radar RD0001 is a standard radar (radio detection and ranging) unit used in target range and bearing indication. The Model 1730 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. Radar waves travel at a nearly constant speed of 162,000 nautical miles per second. The time required for a signal to travel to a target and return as an echo to the source is a measure of distance to that target. Since the echo makes a complete trip, only half the time of travel is needed to determine the one-way distance to a target. Radar RD0001 automatically takes this halfway measurement into account when calculating the range.

The range and bearing of a target is displayed on a Plan Position Indicator (PPI). This display is essentially a polar diagram with the transmitting ship's position at the center. Target image echoes (sometimes called a pip) are received and displayed at their relative bearings and shows their distance from the PPI center. The motion of the transmitting ship is also displayed along with the target images.
