One of the few companies offering replace- ment anodes which are compatible with the sys- tem are Cathodic and Electrolytic Engineers Limited, now leading British specialists in anti- fouling equipment based on the electrolytic principle. The C-2000 System which consists of copper and aluminium anodes fed by a low impressed electrical current, has been adopted by 16 navies throughout the world and is also used on numer- ous commercial vessels and offshore installa- tions. With anode life of approximately two years, the C-2000 System provides an effective and economical method of controlling marine growth, requiring minimal maintenance in oper- ation. Advice and technical support for the C-2000 System is available through an international network of agents who can undertake the instal- lation of new Systems or replacement anodes.

Not only did the Amhoist cranes capture both world titles, but it was done in conjunction with one customer on separate projects. Amhoist established the world's heaviest re- corded marine lift for a single crane pick during sea trials of McDermott's new DB 102, a semi- submersible crane vessel. Each of the two Am- hoist revolver cranes aboard the vessel has a rated lifting capacity of 6,000 metric tons; they can lift more than 12,000 tons in tandem. During the sea trials in the Sea of Japan, each of the cranes lifted a test barge weighted to 7,260 short tons (110 percent of rated capacity), said to be the largest load ever lifted offshore by a single crane. To set the land lift record, American cranes were used in the construction of an oil platform jacket being manufactured for Sohio Petroleum Company by McDermott's Marine Construction Fabrication Division in Morgan City, La. The lift involved a total of 35 crawler cranes (31 of them American) to roll-up and then lift and swing one side of the 890-foot, 3,785-ton jacket. Once the roll-up was complete and the framing row was at a near vertical position, the cranes carried it some 80 feet to a skidway. In order to accomplish the lift in perfect harmony, each of the 35 cranes was equipped with a radio and load-indicating instruments.

The vessel is equipped with two Amhoist cranes capable of 12,000-ton lift when operated in tan- dem. in^inrtr,,( Thirty-five crawler cranes worked together to roll-up one side of McDermott oil rig platform jacket. After roll-up, cranes lifted the 3,785-ton framing row, carried it some 80 feet, and positioned it on a skidway. This is said to be the heaviest lift of its kind ever attempted. Thirty-one of the cranes were Amhoist.
