BFGoodrich rubber and UH1VTRP Romor* bearing staves: first to be U.S. Navy qualified, ^fien it comes to bearing staves, the Navy prefers the strong, silent type. That's Lf why Ronior brand bearing Mft staves from BFGtxxlrich were - first to be qualified bv the U.S. Navy to Mil-B-17901B Class III specifications. A thin, soft, and very smooth rubber-surfaced lining backed by tough, non-corroding ultra high molecular weight poly- ethylene (UHMWP) reduces friction and allows Ronior staves to outperform Class I hard-rubber, brass-backed staves. Ronior staves are quieter, lighter, less expensive, more readily available and more energy-efficient than metal-backed staves. Which explains why they are used on more than 100 U.S. Naval and Coast Guard vessels, as well as by the navies of many other nations. So, for new or retrofit marine applications, follow a naval tradition. Sign on Romor brand bearing staves. For a free brochure, write Lucian Q. Moffitt, Inc., P.O. Box 1415, Akron, Ohio 44309.

HI, AK) CCT Assets Acquired By Crowley Maritime Crowley Maritime Corporation's recent purchase of assets of Coordi- nated Caribbean Transport, Inc. (CCT) from International Controls Corporation will "greatly strength- en Crowley's capability to serve its customers and markets," a senior officer of Crowley said. Commenting on the acquisition, Robert G. Homan, senior vice president and general manager of Crowley's Caribbean Division head- quartered in Jacksonville, Fla., said that CCT will operate under the name Crowley Caribbean Transport as a business unit of his division, the mainstay and most widely known unit of which is Trailer Marine Transport. CCT management and staff will remain intact, according to Mr. Homan. Hector Calderon, who had been serving as president of CCT, will head the new acquisi- tion as its general manager. The CCT transaction, price and terms of which were not disclosed, will complement established Crow- ley RO/RO and container services between the U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Island, eastern Carib- bean islands, and Colombia. Crow- ley operates four terminals in the U.S. and one in Puerto Rico. The acquisition will add six trail- er* and container-carrying vessels to the Crowley Caribbean fleet. In its worldwide operations, Crowley's fleet numbers more than 400 ocean and harbor/river barges, container- ships, tugs, passenger vessels, and support craft. Sales Of MAN B&W Diesel's MC Engine Series Now More Than 10 Million BHP The aggregate output of MAN B&W Diesel's MC Series of low- speed crosshead engines has now comfortably topped 10 million bhp. The breaching of that barrier, and the dominant position in world pro- pulsion markets, is even more sig- nificant in light of the comparative- ly short time since the launching of the MC Series program in 1983. By September 1 this year, 885 MC en- gines with a total output of 10,467,630 bhp (nominal) were in service or on order. The uniflow-scavenged, two- stroke MC range now embraces eight bore sizes from 260 to 900 mm offering single-engine outputs from as low as 950 bhp to 64,320 bhp— the widest power range available for economical propulsion from any en- gine manufacturer. Three different stroke/bore ratios—2.875:1 (K mod- els), 3.24:1 (L models), and 3.8:1 (S models)—and individual layout flexibility allows the operator to se- lect an engine that most precisely matches the intended newbuilding or retrofit application.
