Gulf Island Shipyards Awards Contract for Oregon State University RCRV to Gibbs & Cox Naval architecture and marine engineering firm Gibbs & Cox Inc. received a contract from Gulf Island Shipyards to perform the functional engineering and design of the Or- egon State University regional-class research vessel (RCRV). The vessel will be ABS Ice-Class C0 and DPS-1, Green-Ma- rine Certified, acoustically quiet and carry up to 29 crew and embarked scientists. Gibbs & Cox will manage this project from their New Orleans, Louisiana, office, with sup- port from offices in Newport News, Chesapeake and Arling- ton, Virginia. Bollinger Shipyards Delivers USCGC Jacob Poroo Bollinger Shipyards has delivered the 25th fast response cutter (FRC), USCGC Jacob Poroo, to the U.S. Coast Guard. The vessel's commissioning is scheduled for November 8, 2017 in New Orleans. The 154-ft. patrol craft is based on the Damen Stan Patrol Boat 4708. It has a flank speed of 28 kt.; state-of-the-art command, control, communications and computer technology; and a stern launch system for the vessel's 26-ft. cutter boat. The vessel is named after Hospital Corpsman First Class Jacob Poroo for courage during a fire at the Loran station in Adak, Alaska, in 1968. PlanSea and ION Geophysical Collaborate PlanSea Solutions' logistics optimization algorithms will be integrated into ION Geophysical's Marlin offshore op- erations software for improved efficiency of supply vessel logistics. The collaboration provides a visualization and communications infrastructure to gather supply vessel in- ventory, scheduling and task data from existing systems and workflows. Consolidating the data enables Marlin to pro- vide comprehensive situational awareness information with supply-vessel key performance indicators (KPI) for analysis by management teams. The solution is also designed to fur- ther reduce offshore marine support costs by creating a soft- ware platform to enable supply vessel fleet sharing between companies. TMA Selected by Port of Seattle To Develop Marine Innovation Center The Maritime Alliance (TMA) has been selected to help the Port of Seattle with redeveloping a building at Fisher- men's Terminal into a maritime innovation center and blue tech incubator as part of a collaborative effort with the gov- ernor's office of the State of Washington, academic and re- search partners, key industry sectors and other stakeholders. TMA will serve as lead contractor to develop a feasibility study and business plan for the center. Hydroid Delivers First New-Generation REMUS 100 Kongsberg Maritime subsidiary Hydroid Inc. successfully completed the first delivery of its new-generation REMUS 100 AUV to the Naval Oceanographic Office. The model was designed based on feedback from the REMUS 100 AUV community and includes advanced core electronics, a flex- ible navigation suite with an exclusive conformal DVL and an open-architecture platform for advanced autonomy.
