<BODY> <div> Coritz Appointed New VP And GM At IMO Pump Division Fred J. Coritz has been ap- pointed vice president and general manager of IMO Pump Division of Imo Delaval Inc., succeeding J.K. (Ken) Lippincott, who is retiring later this year after 42 years of ser- vice with the company. Mr. Coritz, who had been gener- al manager of Delaval Condenser Division, has been with IMO for 28 years. He has also served as general manager of the Delroyd Worm Gear and Aerproducts Divisions. "Fred Coritz's working knowledge of both Navy submarine programs and worm gear manufacturing tech- niques," group vice president Jack Carr, said, in making the an- nouncement, "will be especially helpful in this new assignment." Ken Lippincott, "whose distin- guished career," Mr. Carr noted, "represents the finest tradition of service to our company," will work with Mr. Coritz to facilitate a smooth management transition. IMO Pump Division manufac- tures a wide range of high-perform- ance, rotary, positive displacement pumps, used to lubricate machinery, transfer crude oil, fuel gas turbines and power elevators. The IMO three-screw pump is the leading low-noise level pump used in the U.S. Navy and most commercial vessels.

Martinac To Build 2,560-Bhp Z-Drive Ship-Berthing Tug Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corpora- tion have ordered delivery of a 2,560-bhp ship-berthing tug from J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding Corpo- ration of Tacoma, Wash. The new tug, designed by Robert Allan Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C., Canada, is scheduled for completion in Sep- tember 1989, and will be put into service docking ships in the Port of Honolulu. The vessel is modeled on Robert Allan Ltd.'s highly successful series of tug designs for C.H. Cates & Sons Ltd., operating in Vancouver. The tug will be powered by a pair of CAT 3512 TA marine diesels, each rated 1,280 bhp at 1,600 rpm. Each engine drives a Niigata model ZP-2A azimuthing drive, through a reduction gear and Gieslinger tor- sional coupling. The new tug, like her predecessor Charles H. Cates No. 1, has a unique electric control system. Electric power is provided by two 75-kw die- sel generators. Utilizing Mechtron- ics 5900 series frequency modulat- ing motor drives, fully variable speed control of the steering motors and winch drive motor from the AC power generations units is achieved. May, 1989 Another feature is the adoption of an articulated line-handling crane. An Atlas AK 4003 CV-14 hydraulic knuckle-boom crane is located on the foredeck utilized to pass the tug's own line up to the decks of attended vessels. The crane is con- trollable from deck or from the wheelhouse. The 3-inch diameter Nystron braid line is stowed aboard a specially designed winch by Bur- rard Iron Works Ltd., incorporating an under-slung spooling gear and line protection pan. The winch is electrically driven, and is also con- trollable from deck or from the wheelhouse. The vessel is designed to be oper- ated by a crew of two, with a fully automated engine room. Robert Allan Ltd. is one of west- ern Canada's most experienced firms of consulting naval architects, operating continuously in Vancou- ver since 1930. The firm has estab- lished a reputation for innovative designs in all fields of tug and barge design, and from a 20-year close association with the firm of C.H. Cates & Sons Ltd. have developed designs for a range of highly effi- cient and cost-effective ship-assist tugs.
