Marland/Clear Water Introduces New Marine Sanitation Device The new Marland Model MTT-3 Type II Marine Sanitation Device is the latest advance in physical/ chemical systems and meets all USCG Type II MSD standards as well as the proposed IMCO stand- ards. The Marland MTT-3 is a completely modular 3-piece unit. Because it fits through all exist- ing hatches and doors, there is never a need to tear out the hull. Capacity of the unit is 3,000 gal- lons per day. The Marland MTT-3 features an automatic backwash so that filters do not have to be changed. The unit is fully automatic and is easy to retrofit.

July 15, 1978 25 Johnny's Propeller Shop Expands Houma Facility Johnny Conrad, president of Johnny's Propeller Shop, has an- nounced the completion of a 5,000- square-foot addition to the com- pany's Houma, La., facility. The company, founded in 1963 and headquartered in Morgan City, La., is one of the largest propel- ler repair operations in the Cen- tral Gulf Coast and Mississippi Valley Area. According to Mr. Conrad, the new addition will all be under roof and will house a second five-ton overhead crane, new air compres- sors for grinding and polishing equipment power, additional gauges for use in straightening and re-pitching propellers, and numerous individual welding stands. Mr. Conrad stated that the Houma facility will soon be op- erating at capacity and should greatly enhance service to the off- shore, pushboat, shrimping and fishing industries. In addition to propeller repair- ing, Johnny's inventories Federal, Michigan, and Coolidge propellers up to 52-inch diameter, as well as Morse marine bearings, and rub- ber bumpers. If you can make this load calculation in less than 2 seconds/ you don't need Loadmax. Face it. Time is money. And so is accuracy when you're making load distribution calculations. So, if you have a way to make them faster than a LOADMAX system can, don't read any further. If not, then our LOADMAX story could open the door to greater profit per voyage for your ships. Modern containerships, product tankers, RO-RO, LASH-as well as LNG, VLCCand bulk carriers-have made accurate load calculation more complex than ever. Hull stress, shear force, bending moments, stability and trim are all critical factors to be reckoned with. Thus, old rules of thumb, mechanical analyzers, manual calculations, even analog systems with cumbersome thumbwheels and pointers just don't measure up any more. That's why we introduced LOADMAX. It's digital... pushbutton. ..instan- taneous ... instantly readable... continuously updated... and accurate. The LOADMAX 200, for example, can be used to make stability, draft and stress calculations simulta- neously in a fraction of the time required by other calcula- tion methods. And with unsurpassed accuracy. If you're a shipowner you probably already know about Raytheon's reputation for reliability and service. Now, if you're interested in maximizing your ship's profitability, there's a lot more you should know about the Raytheon LOADMAX.
