MAN-B&W (continued from page 43) 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. Booth No. 713 Circle 85 on RSC 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. Booth No. 404 Circle 26 on RSC MEDART MARINE Medart Marine Supply will fea- ture a wide variety of products that the company distributes, in- cluding Nabrico winches and cast- ings, Perko running lights, Cal- June flotation devices, ACR lights, Wellington Puritan and Crowe rope, Stearns lifevests, Ray Jeff hand radios, Morse Pushnees, and Husky trash pumps. Booth No. 407 Circle 27 on RSC MIRRLEES BLACKSTONE Mirrlees Blackstone (USA) Inc., a Hawker Siddeley company, will be exhibiting at the Inland Water- ways Show for the first time this year. Mirrlees manufactures die- sel engines for marine and indus- trial applications in a power range from 180 to 12,000 bhp in a num- ber of model types. The company's exhibit will em- phasize engine models most suited for new construction and retrofit of medium- to high-horsepower river towboats. These models include the ESL MK2 range of up to 1,620 bhp, and the K Major MK3 line of engines with ratings up to 12,000 bhp. The low specific fuel consump- tion of this range of engines and their long experience and capabil- ity to burn residual fuels will be highlighted at the Mirrlees exhibit. Booth No. 508 Circle 28 on RSC MONARK BOAT MonArk Boat Company of Mon- ticello, Ark., a leading producer of all-welded aluminum workboats, will be displaying new products, designs, and models. A typical MonArk design is the 32-foot harbor service launch de- livered recently to Zuccala Harbor Service in Boynton Beach, Fla. This boat is being used as an aid to navigation and service launch in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Booth Nos. 209 & 305 Circle 29 on RSC NEESE INDUSTRIES Neese will exhibit a complete line of foul weather gear, designed to give maximum protection against not only the elements, but also most marine and industrial applications. Garments are sized for comfort and mobility when worn over cold weather wear. All garments are guaranteed for one full year from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship, or return to Neese for replacement. Booth No. 208 Circle 30 on RSC NORTH CAROLINA TWINE North Carolina Twine & Cor- dage, Inc. is a manufacturer of pol- ypropylene and nylon ropes for marine and industrial applica- tions. High-quality, three-strand twisted ropes and leaving line, as well as braided ropes are avail- able. All polypropylene rope is made from monofilament yarns manufactured at the company's plant in Mt. Airy, N.C. Booth No. 714 Circle 31 on RSC PORTER COATINGS Porter Coatings Division of Por- ter Paint Company will display its high-performance protective coat- ings, including Zinc-Lock® and the Wintercure/Fast Dry Systems. Technical personnel will be on hand to discuss specific corrosion problems and to recommend coat- ings systems. Booth No. 703 Circle 32 on RSC QUINCY COMPRESSOR Quincy Compressor Division of Colt Industries will display a base- mounted Model D 325, 5-horse- power compressor. Quincy two-stage compressors are specified for shipboard use by the U.S. Government, including the Navy and Coast Guard. The specific features are pressure lu- brication, high-pressure (up to 500 psig) capability, air-cooled, sim- plicity of maintenance, low oil level protection, oversize Swedish steel disc values, etc. Booth No. 315 Circle 33 on RSC 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. Booth No. 309 Circle 34 on RSC SPERRY Sperry Corporation of Great Neck, N.Y., one of the world's largest commercial maritime sup- pliers of navigation and guidance systems, has recently introduced a new line of vessel traffic surveil- lance (VTS) systems using a new computer-controlled console that provides full-color graphics, a touch-sensitive screen for control functions, and harbor data man- agement capabilities.
