MANITOU Major Suppliers stainless steel. All cargo tanks are coated with Camrex Camcote epoxy. Further advantages include the easy cleaning of the tanks and quicker unloading due to the slanted form of the tank bottoms. Electronic equipment includes two Decca radars, Decca Navigator, Anschutz gyrocompass and gyropi- lot, Atlas echo sounder, Plath radio direction finder, and Debeg radio station. The tanker has two oil-fired boil- ers and an exhaust-gas boiler that are used for preheating the heavy fuel oil, and heating water and ac- commodations. Under favorable conditions (high outside tempera- ture), part of the exhaust-heat ener- gy can also be used to heat the car- go. The Manitou is equipped with a free-fall lifeboat with a 26-person capacity.

KEVLAR aramid means lighter marine systems...less costly, easier to handle. Now you can get the strength you need in large marine ropes for offshore oil rigs and other maritime applications-at only 1/5 the weight of steel in air and 1/20 the weight in water. In pendant applications, for example, lightweight ropes of DuPont KEVLAR aramid fiber permit use of smaller, lighter buoys (photo at right) and allow faster anchor deployment and retrieval. Significant systems cost reductions can be realized. In riser tensioner applica- tions, ropes of KEVLAR last up to 4 times longer in actual field use, due to their superior cyclic fatigue properties. Ease of handling provides important savings in in- stallation time and labor. Towing lines of KEVLAR can provide extra years of service, because of superior fatigue and corrosion resistance. Ropes of KEVLAR are unaffected by saltwater, organic The small, less expensive buoy handles a pendant line of KEVLAR. A buoy 20 times larger in volume is needed to handle the same length of steel line. solvents, drilling fluids and lubricants. Ropes of KEVLAR are available in wire rope and other constructions to meet your specific needs. For more infor- mation and a list of quality manufacturers, call the toll-free number below.
