Halter Marine Launches Catcher/ Processor For Lund Fisheries The Moss Point, Miss., yard of Halter Marine, a Trinity Industries company, recently launched the catcher/processor fishing vessel Atlantic Prince being constructed for Lund Fisheries of Cape May, N.J. The 150-foot boat had an extremely short engineering and building peri- od—less than six months from contract signing to complete design to owner's requirements to launching, even with the disruptions of three hurricanes. Propulsion for the twin-screw vessel is pro- vided by two Caterpillar 3512 diesel engines with a total output of 1,800 bhp. Her 435-kw generators are driven by Cat 3412 engines. The Atlantic Prince was christened by Mrs. Evelyn Lund. The principal partner in Lund Fisheries, Warren Lund, said that he is pleased with the design and workmanship on the vessel. The Moss Point yard has a record of sup- plying fishing vessels for both the Pacific and Atlantic fisheries. The recent keel laying of the T-AGOS ocean surveillance vessel for the Navy and the launching of the Atlantic Prince show the adaptability of Halter Marine in building both military and commercial vessels in the same yard.

Designed in the compact 282 frame, the new design provides superior single phase electrical performance in a rugged mechanical structure. According to Mike Spees, marketing man- ager, "The patented excitation system based on proven MAC concepts provides excellent 120/ 240 V, 4 wire single-phase performance includ- ing 3 percent voltage regulation and .5 hp/kw electric motor starting capability. Inherently, the alternator provides 300 percent short circuit current plus a volts-per-hertz characteristic for underspeed protection." "Mechanically, the 282 frame is designed for strength and compactness providing more kw/ pound in a rigid cast aluminum frame and bear- ing carrier. The steel insert in the bearing carrier is machined to very close tolerances and has an '0' ring insert to discourage wear and provide extended bearing operating life. All electrical components are moisture and fungus protected from adverse environments." On shipboard, the MAC 282 frame provides reliable single phase power for lights, radio and navigation, winches, refrigeration, air condition- er, pumps and a host of other applications. On land, this same machine is ideal for light towers, communication stations and electric tools for construction as well as emergency applications for safety of life and property. Available ratings range from 5 through 8.5 kw, single phase, in a single and two bearing configu- ration adaptable to all popular diesel and gaso- line engines.

Known as "Jotamastic," the new product can be applied over existing coat- ings of many kinds, and is suitable for over- painting by many other products. Jotamastic contains aluminum, which helps to reflect heat, increases water resistance, and gives the coating a pleasing metallic-gray color. It has a high solids content of 86 percent by volume, and a dry film thickness of 200 micron is possible with a single coat on steel. The coating can also be used on concrete. The new product can be readily applied by brush or roller provided the existing surface is reasonably clean and dry, and it will adhere to and upgrade the existing coatings, including weathered primers. It is also suitable for appli- cation by airless spray when thinned 15 percent by volume with suitable thinners. Jotamastic is easily overcoatable and it dries to touch in five hours. It is ideal for cargo holds since it can overcoat the existing alkyd paints commonly used, thereby upgrading to an epoxy system, it is also approved by the North of Eng- land Industrial Health Services as an interior surface coating for the storage holds of grain transporters.

Burker Jr., president and chief executive officer of Siemens-Allis, has an- nounced that, effective immediately, the compa- ny will be named Siemens Energy & Automa- tion, Inc. The name change follows Siemens' purchase of Allis-Chalmers' remaining interest in Siemens-Allis last fall. "The new name appropriately reflects Siem- ens' full ownership of our company, as well as our increasing involvement with the Siemens organization worldwide to optimize technologi- cal leadership," Mr. Burker said. "However, to our customers, we will be known simply as Siem- ens," he added. Prior to the buyout, Siemens has gradually increased its ownership of Siemens-Allis since 1978 when it initially purchased 20 percent of what was then the Electrical Products Group) of Allis-Chalmers. During that period, Siemens introduced a number of high-technology devel- opments into the Siemens-Allis product line, which was further expanded in 1983 by the acquisition of the ITE electrical products busi- ness from Gould Inc. Headquartered in Atlanta, Siemens Energy & Automation is a manufacturer of electrical and electronic equipment for marine electric utilities and general industry. The company has 24 plants in the U.S. and its products are marketed worldwide.

Coming in with the low of $17.54 per measurement ton on containerized military cargo to Europe, United States Lines beat American Automar at $17.80 and Sea-Land Ser- vice Inc. at $18.16. Low bidders on the Pacific routes were Sea- Land offering $13.67 and $12.49 for the Korea and Okinawa routes, respectively, and APL sub- mitting rates of $11.24 and $6.73 for the Philip- pines and Japan. The Sealift Command said the decrease in Pacific rates was due to increased competition and lower fuel cost, but did not explain the hike on the North Atlantic routes. Gen. John Stanford said APL, Sea-Land and Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. have been asked to support their assertions that containers could handle 80 percent of military cargo being moved during an emergency. He said the Command is dubious that containerships could handle more than 20 percent of the supplies required in an emergency, citing the sheer volume of cargo needed to support a division of 18,000 men on a move from the U.S. to, for example, Korea. He also noted that containerizing equipment like heavy tanks would be more than a little diffi- cult. Lykes, the only carrier so far to respond to the query, said it would use flatcars and RO/RO ves- sels to handle oversized cargo. Another carrier, USL, said it could not accommodate the move in that it does not have what it believes is the required bulk space available.
