The type DEPGF-42 Electric Ship-Assist & Escort Winch installed on the bow features a 75 hp electric- motor drive, a drum sized for over 500 ft. of 8 in. soft- line, a level-wind fairleader, and an auxiliary warping- head of 24 in. diameter. The high-capacity drum brake will hold more than 400,000 lbs. Markey also outfit- ted this winch-system with its Line-Tension Display System which shows the operator the tension in the line while the drum brake is set. This winch includes Markey's Render-Recover Mode capability which allows the Captain to operate the Winch in a hands-free manner. This new tug is also outfitted with a new- design Markey type DEPC-32 20 hp Electric Deck- Winch on the stern, with a drum to hold 250 ft. of 6.5 in. soft-line, and with a high-capacity drum brake rated to hold over 200,000 lbs.

After leased to West Coast-based Catalina Flying Boats for passenger serv- ice between Marina del Rey and Catalina Island for two years, the 149-passenger catamaran has resumed service from Hyannis to Oak Bluffs in Massachusetts. Renamed Lady Martha, the 106-ft. (32.3 m) catama- ran, designed by Incat Design, has received new engines, rebuilt water jets, gears, and ride control sys- tem, a new paint job, and a complete interior makeover. The Somerset, Mass., shipyard has replaced the vessel's four Detroit Diesel engines, after 55,000 operating hours, with new MTU 12V-2000 M-70 diesel engines. Its four MJP-J450-QD water jets were rebuilt, along with the ZF BW-250 gear boxes. The vessel's service speed remains at 32 knots, fully loaded. With new windows, Beurteaux Ocean Tourist seats, carpeting, and three Headhunter heads, the ves- sel still sports the large luggage room aft. Additionally, the Lady Martha has been equipped a CCTV security system to meet new USCG requirements. Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Gladding-Hearn has built 31 high-speed passenger ferries for service in the U.S. and the Caribbean since becoming a U.S. Licensee of Incat Designs in 1984.
