Our 180" Floating Processor needs a licensed Chief Engineer who is proficient in GMC Cleveland Mains and GMC Generator sets along with Refrigeration. This job would be a 4-5 month contract job.We will …
Has anyone ever worked for these guys?
At $450 a day for a Chief engineer, I’m sure not many
Plus the fact that they stopped making the Cleveland diesel in the late 50’s I can only imigane how old that boat is. The Cleveland pre dates the 567 EMD, it was a good submarine engine back in WWII
I wonder if that is the old Aleska. I brought her up there around '79. Had a 278A V8 for the main. Converted YO.
They have the ex crab processor AKUTAN which had 8-278A Clevelands in her. She was an ex WWII Army FS.
Nice but very old littile ship. She was for sale for a very long time at a very low price.
I used to deliver king crab to the Akutan, she was also known as the Midas for a short time.
After grinding away on the gear it was always nice to pull into Atka tie up to the Akutan.
We would offload our crab and get a hot meal, she was a nice old boat…

I always liked the AKUTAN’s conversion. She was the precursor to the VICEROY and later the GALAXY.
I am surprised though that she was never repowered with Cats…those old Clevelands must be a bear to keep running now that Hatch and Kirk are out the business.
They have got her all painted up like new and ready to roll.

And then the BARANOF and COURAGEOUS cutting edge for their time and going strong today.
Enter the mud boat, cheap easy conversions that forever changed the Bering Sea…

Know a couple engineers that did, they were on call 24/7. Responsible for quite a range of equipment. And at times, the company’s catcher boats will have needs too.
Larry Lang is an honest man, call him if interested.
Got a nice 278 piston and con rod in my sunroom…makes a nice conversation piece. Damn robust.
