In addition to high operating ef-
ficiency, the 58/64 engines will
provide excellent waste heat re-
covery opportunities. Exhaust gas
temperature downstream of the
turhocharger will be 660 F over a
broad operating range. In a num-
ber of applications, this means
that the at-sea electrical load can
be produced by the waste heat re-
covery system instead of an auxil-
iary generator, resulting in addi-
tional fuel savings.

MACCAFERRI
Gabions, stone-filled baskets,
were used some 2,200 years ago in
China to control rivers for naviga-
tion and irrigation. Then, wicker-
work baskets, Zhulong, were used
where now zinc-coated woven steel
wire is employed, additionally pro-
tected with PVC when used in cor-
rosive conditions.
On the Mississippi, a major ga-
bion-lined spillway at the Old River
Control Structure helps to main-
tain river levels at the desired
heights. For that structure, thou-
sands of tons of stone were trans-
ported long distances entirely by
barge.
Gabions have many uses on in-
land waterways worldwide, from
canals of some age such as Eng-
land's Manchester Ship Canal to
smaller projects such as the Cape
May Canal in New Jersey, a vital
link in the coastal waterway
system.
Whether the structure is a river
wall, a revetment, a yacht marina,
or even a hovercraft ramp, Macca-
ferri can supply the proper gabions.

SMITH AND WEST
Smith and West Manufacturing
will feature its Touch and Go
Safety Systems, which were de-
signed by a licensed pilot for use
on the inland waterways. This sys-
tem eliminates the need to place
men in hazardous locations should
an emergency require turning the
boat loose. It is designed to release
simply by depressing switches in
the pilothouse. Timing is often a
crucial aspect in preventing boat
damage, and this system allows
the pilot to retain control of a tow
as long as possible.
Releasing the face wires not
only eliminates the cost of replac-
ing them but also allows the boat
to reface immediately, which can
be critical to preventing barge
damage. The system incorporates
a release mechanism for each face
wire as well as separate controls,
thus eliminating the possibility of
a complete malfunction. The re-
lease mechanism can also be oper-
ated manually in case of electrical
failure.
