6D16 - TE2, 106kW at 1500 rpm, with a 40kW shaft generator on the forward end and is fitted with a Twin Disc Model N BDP 290/150 SAE 3 clutch for driving the vessels hydraulic pump.

The harbour set, supplied by Ashvale Engineering, N.I., is a Mitsubishi SQ4 auxiliary engine on the port side of the vessel for electrical power and also driving a 40kW generator.

There is also a hydraulic retrieval pump system driven off the back end of the main gearbox with the live drive pto. This pump is fitted with an air ram and electric solenoid so the skipper can clutch pump in and out from wheelhouse. The retrieval pump is used for powering the conveyor belts when sorting the catch which allows the owners stop the main auxiliary engine and therefore reduce fuel consumption. In the

event of a main hydraulic engine failure there is a changeover valve on this pump which allow the owners to haul back there gear.

All engines on the vessel

have been fitted with Blockland Box coolers which were specifically designed for each engine and this eliminates the need for seacocks for engine cooling.

The hydraulic system was

supplied by RAPP Ecosse and included a two drum 12-tonne split winch with a wire capacity of 310 fathoms of 20ml wire, 2 No 5 Ton Pullmaster winches for drawing in the seven dredges on the side of

New Scalloper ‘Golden Shore’ for Annalong

The latest launching at Mooney Boats Ltd., Killybegs is the state-of-the-art scalloper, “Golden Shore”, for Geoffrey and Heather Chambers, Annalong. The vessel will be fished by their sons, Christopher and Gareth, out of Kilkeel, for scallops and queenies.

“I met Geoffrey Chambers initially at Skipper Expo in Galway in 2014”, recalled boatyard Managing Director, Lee Mooney. “We started talking about the type of vessel he wanted and over the following 10months we agreed a final design plan tailored to the owner’s exact requirements and a contract was signed on 8th February, 2015 for delivery of completed vessel Summer 2016”

The “Golden Shore” was designed by Ian Paton of S.C. McAllister & Company Ltd., Campbeltown. She has a chine-built steel hull and measures 14.96m overall

(registered length 14.15m), with a beam of 6.05m and a draft of 3.4m aft.

She is built to Seafish Rules for fishing vessels of less than 15m, in accordance with Marine and Coastguard Agency (MCA) codes of practice. The vessel was completely built and fitted out in-house by Mooney Boats Ltd.

The yard bought in the steel plate from Holland and began nesting and cutting all the parts in August 2015 on the yards own CNC plasma cutting machine. At the early stages of the build there was a limited staff available for the first three months while the yard were completing the 26m ‘Audacious’ but, once that was completed, the yard put more staff to the ‘Golden Shore project.

“The hull was built from Lloyd’s grade A ship-building 8mm plate, with

500mm frame spacing and longitudinal girders. The vessel is fitted with a raised aluminium wheelhouse with forward galley, cabins and toilet & shower area. The engine room is situated forward below accommodation area with fish hold amidships and steering room aft. There are 3 no watertight bulkheads with a bulbous bow and freshwater tank located in forepeak.

The yard bought in a 1600mm diameter 4 Blade propeller and nozzle from Teignbridge. The yard machined the propeller shaft and intermediate shaft in house, which is made from 110mm diameter stainless steel. The shafts are double tapered and keyed with mild steel couplings. The shaft runs through a steel tube which was welded into the hull and then lined bored before fitting the 2 No cutlass bearings. The shaft is water lubricated

and traditional stuffing box with three-quarter inch gland packing and a Cooper bearing fitted mid-ships to support the intermediate shaft.

The steering system was supplied by Wills Ridley Ltd, U.K. It’s an independent hydraulic helm pump, fitted with a 220-volt electrical hydraulic power pack for power-assist steering and autopilot. The steering room is located aft. The rudder, ruder-shaft and rudder tube were all manufactured and supplied in-house by Mooney Boats Ltd own machine shop.

The main engine is a Cummins QSM11, 300hp, 220kW at 1800 rpm, which is coupled to a ZF W350 6:1 reduction, fixed pitch gearbox, supplied by Cummins Ireland.

The main auxiliary engine, supplied by DRD Diesel from Kilkeel is a Mitsubishi
