1986 Apelco Full-Color

Product Catalog Available

Apelco Marine Electronics has published a full-color 1986 catalog describing a number of new, excit- ing high-tech products. Among these is a liquid crystal display (LCD) radar, the Model LDR-9900, which Apelco plans to introduce this spring. Using the newest LCD tech- nology, this is said to be the small- est, lightest, lowest-priced radar in the world.

Outstanding new Apelco products also include the XCD 480 Recording

LCD Fishfinder with readouts for pH, speed, temperature, depth and the ability to freeze and recall dis- plays; the FXL 400 Color Flashing

Fishfinder which indicates target size and bottom hardness using a color LED analog display, and an

LCD digital depth readout; and the new, compact XVC 8000 Color Vid- eo Fishfinder with dramatic eight- color picture clarity. Lorans, radio- telephones, ADF, and other flashing and chart recording echo sounders, loudhailers, and EPIRBs round out the full line of Apelco marine elec- tronics for all kinds of boats.

Senate Passes Bill To

Close Jones Act Loophole

On December 19, 1985 the Senate passed H.R. 2466, miscellaneous maritime provisions, adopting a substitute bill. The Senate amend- ments include a provision strongly supported by AWO that would close a loophole in the Jones Act which allow foreign-flag tugs to provide assist-service for foreign-flag vessels in U.S. ports. The House began con- sideration of this bill, but was un- able to complete action before ad- journment.

Carnegie Hero Medals

Awarded Posthumously

To Fournier, Govoni

Two Carnegie Hero Medals were recently awarded posthumously to

Capt. William A. Fournier and seaman Daniel J. Govoni by the

Carnegie Hero Fund Commission.

The medallions are awarded an- nually by the commission, citing the heroic actions of one individual to save another's life.

Captain Founier and Mr. Go- voni were awarded the 3-inch bronze medals for their actions on

April 11 of last year, to rescue fellow crew member Richard Lisa, who was trapped in an oxygen-deficient hold of a barge owned by Penobscot

Bay Towing Company of Belfast,

Maine. Mr. Lisa survived the barge accident, but his two 20-year-old rescuers suffocated and drowned in two-feet of bilge water in the hold.

The men were part of a crew work- ing aboard tugs and barges at the

Penobscot Bay Towing Company, a subsidiary of Fournier Marine Cor- poration, at Marshall Wharf.

According to Walter Rutkow- ski, assistant secretary for the Car- negie Commission, a $2,500 hono- rarium was presented to the families of Captain Fournier and Mr. Go- voni along with their medals.
