The fish wells are filled using a Morris Whaley Inc. hydraulic fish conveyor. Frozen fish is float- ed to the tops of the wells and is placed on the conveyor where it can be directed forward and aft for unloading.

Deck machinery includes a

Marco 560-inch power block, Mar- co WS454 Superseine winch; nu- merous Gearmatic winches, two

Husky hydraulic cranes, two Pe- terson speedboat davits, and a

Morris Whaley ring stripper. New

Morris Whaley electrohydraulic brailing winches are also fitted.

The electronics complement is unusually thorough and includes two Furuno FR711 radars with a

RDI radar watch; Krupp-Atlas model 950 scanning sonar with

CRT display; two Morrow AM/ single-sideband radios; one CAI 1-kw single-sideband radio; two

A 15-station telephone system, television / VCR / AM-FM 'enter- tainment system, and 300-watt public address system (to which the telephones and entertainment system are interfaced) was engi- neered and provided by Honor

Marine Communications of San

Diego.

Both vessels will carry Hughes 500 turbine-powered helicopters, and special attention has been given to the efficient operation and maintenance of the aircraft.

Peterson engineers designed spe- cific facilities including helicopter landing pad, tie-down apparatus, service shop, spare blade stowage racks, and fuel management sys- tems to facilitate and enhance the safety of shipboard helicopter operations.

French Group Purchases

Marine Structure Firm

Ownership of EMH (Entre- prise d'Equipements Mecaniques et Hydrauliques), Paris, a well- known builder of offshore struc- tures for the oil and gas indus- try, has been acquired by a three- company French group.

According to Jean Alleaume,

EMH president, Spie-Batignoles,

August 1, 1981

SOFRESID, and ETPM have pur- chased his firm from CFEM (Com- pagnie Francaise d'Entreprise

Metallique). Terms of the pur- chase were not disclosed.

EMH is noted in the marine in- dustry for its pioneering work in the development of the articulated deepwater column. These satel- lites of oil-production platforms offshore are used for the transfer of crude oil from well to waiting tankers. Also, they are used to flare gas from production facili- ties. EMH currently is construct- ing an articulated column that will serve as remote control cen- ter for a subsea well in the

Northeast Frigg field.

Mr. Alleaume described EMH's condition as "very sound," and indicated that the company had eight contracts in house. These include three articulated columns for Phillips Petroleum, Mobil Oil, and Elf Aquitaine Norge; a yard- built fixed column for installa- tion in coastal waters off Central

America for PEMEX; two float- ing-buoy (CALM) tanker-loading facilities for Total Abu A1 Khoosh off Abu Dhabi and for Elf Itali- ana in the Rospo Mare field; and two tanker-loading facilities for

Ten years ago, Butterworth

Systems introduced SCAMP

Underwater Hull Cleaning

Machines. With them, high-speed underwater hull cleaning became a major factor in economic ship management.

Since that time over 4500

SCAMP hull cleanings have saved operators an estimated 2 million tons of fuel. At 1981 fuel costs, that comes to almost $500,000,000 saved.

These cleanings have reduced fuel costs and improved performance for virtually every type of ship... tankers, LNG's, bulk carriers, freighters, and naval vessels.

Cleaning costs vary with vessel size, degree of fouling, and operation. On the average, a $10,000 cleaning will generate about $100,000 in fuel savings.

Over all, a 1,000% return on investment is not unusual.

SCAMP Cleaning

Stations Worldwide.

SCAMP Underwater hull cleaning stations are strategically located on the major trade routes. Cleaning rates will be furnished for each vessel upon receipt of hull specifications. The time required for cleaning ranges from 4 to 16 hours, depending upon the size of the vessel, areas fouled, degree of fouling, etc.

Machines are hoisted in and out of the water by an accompanying workboat which supplies the operating power.

No action is required of the vessel being cleaned. In most cases, this operation can be conducted during the vessel loading or unloading.

SCAMP

Underwater

Hull Cleaning

Machines are approved for use at oil i tanker terminals. Their operation has no lasting impact on harbor or estuary waters.

Only takes one call.

Bookings can be easily arranged to accomodate ships' schedules by contacting
