ABSTRACT: United States Coast Guard 200’ Heartland Waterway Vessel (HWV)
The United States Coast Guard is faced with a new challenge in the inland waterways. In order to protect and warn the public waterway traffic, the Coast Guard must take its large assets into waters that are often shallower than their design navigational draft allows in order to position Aids to Navigation (ATON). The ever changing missions of the Coast Guard also need to be addressed. A multi-mission hull is the best solution for attaining 100 percent mission coverage in the future. The key design features of the HWV are: NOx mitigation system (SCR), flanking rudders and Kort Nozzles, ample crew space, 360° Bridge and a low resistance hull form.
