JUNIPER CLASS BUOY TENDER
An accurate model of an important Coast Guard ship
The Juniper is large. At 225 feet and
2,000 tons, she was the first cutter to fully leverage
and implement many technological advances such as
electronic charting, position keeping, and remote
engineering monitoring and control. Juniper is also
designed to skim and recover oil in the event of an oil
spill.
Juniper's Integrated Ship
Control System has an Electronic Charting Display and
Information System (ECDIS) which enables fixing her
position to within five meters every second. Her Dynamic
Positioning System (DPS) uses this positioning
information, the ship's controllable-pitch propeller,
and the stern and bow thrusters to keep the ship on
station without any human input.
These systems allow
Juniper and her crew to work more buoys in less time,
more efficiently and safely. Juniper's Machinery Plant
Control and Monitoring System has over 1,000 sensors
throughout the ship. This system makes it possible for
one person in the engine room control center to monitor
the ship’s plant while underway. Juniper and her crew
are adept at handling various missions such as aids to
navigation, law enforcement, homeland security, ice
breaking, environmental pollution response, and search
and rescue.
Juniper assisted in the
recovery operations following the crashes of TWA Flight
800 and Egypt Air 990. She also participated in
anti-terrorist and force protection operations in New
York City immediately after the September 11, 2001
attacks. On February 3, 2007, Juniper participated in
reef building efforts off New Jersey, deploying 160,000
pounds of concrete sinkers recovered from old buoy
markers to aid in the recovery of local fish
populations.
Originally based in
Newport, Rhode Island, Juniper began receiving her
midlife maintenance availability (MMA) upgrades and
overhauls at the Coast Guard Yard in Maryland on
September 25, 2019. After completion of this maintenance
work, Juniper would be reassigned to a new homeport in
Honolulu replacing Walnut after she began her own MMA in
2020.
