ZIP INDUSTRIAL INTERCOMS FOR MARINE COMMUNICATIONS Designed originally to provide U.S. industry with intercoms which would deliver clear, dependable voice communication under the most severe operating conditions, ADCO units have earned wide acceptance in many segments of the marine industry. Typical installations are aboard ship—bridge to deck or engine room, control center to diving bell—on offshore oil platforms—and throughout repair yards, dry docks, piers and storage areas. What makes ADCO intercoms different is their ability to perform efficiently regardless of high ambient noise, weather or temperature extremes. Their heavy-duty cast aluminum cases are built to withstand rough usage—and are both weather and corrosion-proof. Since each unit is a self-contained station which receives, amplifies and transmits the signal, intercom systems can include many stations over very long distances. Installation is simple and practical: each unit plugs into a nearby AC or DC power source, then is connected by ordinary low voltage 2-wire cable.

Westmont Awarded Navy Contract To Restore Giant Floating Crane Westmont Industries of Santa Fe Springs (Los Angeles), Calif., recently received an order from the Long Beach Naval Shipyard to restore the YD-171 floating crane "Herman the German" to its orig- inal capacity of 350 metric tons. Said to be the largest self-propel- led floating crane in the world, Herman was built in 1941 by De- mag A.G. at Bremerhaven for an estimated cost of $3.5 million. The crane's pontoon is 205 feet long and 110 feet wide; height from the waterline to the tip of the boom is 374 feet. Maximum hoist- ing capacity is 386 short tons, and Herman can lift 55 tons from 157 feet over the side. Total wire rope used is 11,681 lineal feet. Tacoma Boat Awarded $1.7-Million Contract For APL Ship Conversion American President Lines has awarded a $1.7-million contract to Tacoma Boatbuilding Company of Tacoma, Wash., for upgrading of the containership Neptune Gar- net, one of two purchased recently from Neptune Orient Lines. When the conversion is completed in December this year, the vessel will be renamed President F.D. Roosevelt. Work on the diesel-powered ship will include upgrading the accom- modations and machinery spaces to meet Coast Guard fire, safety, and other requirements. Some cell configurations will be changed in order to carry more 40-foot con- tainers. Total capacity will be in- creased slightly, to 2,556 TEUs, including 250 reefers. The other ship acquired by APL, the Neptune Jade, is currently undergoing conversion in Japan. She will be renamed the President Eisenhower. 18 Circle 316 on Reader Service Card Circle 197 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
