70 FOGHORN N ichols Brothers Boat Builders (NBBB) has been awarded a contract by the San Francisco Bar Pilots Benevolent and Protective Association for a new station vessel. Designed by Glosten, the 110ʹ vessel is being purpose-built to support the pilots as they guide commercial vessels through San Francisco Bay. The Tier 4 diesel propulsion is designed to im- prove fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and provide exceptional reliability while meeting California Air Resourc- es Board emissions requirements. De- signed for continuous offshore service, the vessel incorporates modern ac- commodations, enhanced seakeeping characteristics, and the endurance nec- essary to support 24/7 pilot operations. The project continues the long-stand- ing relationship between NBBB and Glosten, whose teams have collaborat- ed on several commercial and govern- ment vessel programs. Construction of the vessel will take place at NBBB’s shipyard in Freeland, Wash. “This program provides meaningful work for our welders, shipfitters, pipe- fitters, electricians, machinists, paint- ers, and every skilled trade that con- tributes to a successful vessel delivery,” said Nick Zustiak, general manager of NBBB. “It also creates opportunities for apprentices to learn alongside expe- rienced journeymen, ensuring the next generation of American shipbuilders continues to develop the skills needed to keep our industry strong.” Construction will support Washington State skilled manufacturing jobs while engaging a nationwide network of sup- pliers and marine industry partners. NBBB was awarded the contract for a new San Francisco Bar Pilots vessel.
