<BODY> <div> McElroy Machine Delivers Mooring Winch To Maritime Overseas Corporation McElroy Machine and Manufac- turing Co., Inc., Biloxi, Miss., re- cently delivered its seventh moor- ing winch to Maritime Overseas Corporation. The winch is reported to be totally self contained with a double drum, electro-hydraulic unit capable of developing 60,000 pounds or more of line pull and 100,000 pounds of brake holding power. The winch is to be installed aboard the 875-foot tanker Overseas Washing- ton. Mooring Winch Built By McElroy Machine McElroy has obtained contracts from Bender Shipbuilding for 20 trawl winch packages to be installed aboard the Kuwaiti vessels being built at the yard. Bender has also placed other orders for many of the vessels being built for various cus- tomers at its Mobile, Ala., shipyard. Trinity Marine placed an order for a third double anchor windlass for the T-AGS 60, 61 and 62 being built at their Halter, Moss Point yard. They also ordered two stern anchor winches for the Army LSVs under construction and Moss Point Marine. Other yards or companies plac- ing orders include Sause Bros. Ocean Towing, Texas A&M University and Steiner Shipyard. McElroy Machine supplies equip- ment for a wide range of vessels including offshore supply boats, util- ity boats, tugs, fishing vessels, U.S. Coast Guard vessels, U.S. Navy ves- sels, Army Corps of Engineers and foreign navies. For further information describ- ing the equipment provided by McElroy Machine, Circle 78 on Reader Service Card Sea-Hornet Announces Vessel Monitoring And Control System Sea-Hornet Marine Industries has introduced its V-MAC 3301 ves- sel monitoring and control system. The system is reported to be a pow- erful, flexible, micro-processor driven system which can monitor and control a variety of functions and conditions onboard power, sail and commercial vessels. The V-MAC monitors a vessels engines and provides visual and audible warnings if necessary. The system also monitors pumps and in cases where a high-water level is detected, it will sound an alarm and attempt to activate the pump in the flooded compartment. V-MAC is designed to protect the vessel by asking for identification before allowing anyone to start the engines. If V-MAC detects danger- ous gases in the engine compart- ment it can disable the ignition sys- tem, sound an alarm, issue a visual warning message and turn on the blower. The basic system consists of two compact components which are the control panel and a functional key- pad with built-in LCD display. The systems are preprogrammed at the factory but can be customized to meet individual needs.
