Gladding Hearn Delivers Second High-Speed Whale

Watch Vessel

Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding delivered its second high-speed whale watching craft, the new 365-passenger catamaran

Friendship V, to Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co.

The 112-ft. (34-m) vessel was designed by Incat Designs of

Sydney, Australia, and is designed to reach 31.5 knots loaded. It achieves this power with four 12V-92TA DDEC Detroit Diesel engines, turning Hamilton HM461 waterjets through

Reintjexsgears.

Largest ABS-Classed

Containership Launched

At 5,300-TEU capacity, Ever

Ultra, the first of five U-class con- tainerships being built by

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for

Evergreen, is the largest container- ship yet classed by the American

Bureau of Shipping (ABS). The 69,000-gt vessel measures 879 ft. (268 m) long. ABS has been very successful in the classification of larger-sized containerships. In 1995, the society classed 10 con- tainerships of 50,000 gt and over, and through April 1996, it has already classed 12 vessels of this size.

ID, mm TASK FORCE

W/ien the U.S. NavysentaS.O.S. to help move this giant crane, we dispatched two ofourJDN PROFI100 ton pneumatic hoists. The results was a complete victory for us both.

Saving the day for our customers is always satisfying, but forJDN it's not new. Our hoists have been solving weighty problems in more than 90 countries all over the world.

In this case the 100 ton pneumatic hoists were used on site to level these 310 ton cranes. Incredible size and capacity ratio, precision engineering and construction, and their dependability on only 85 PSI compressed air operation made the JDS PROFI the perfect choice for the job.

But this hoist, and the rest of the world famous PROFI series, can operate at the same performance level mounted overhead on trolleys and in low overhead situations. They ore unaffected by dampness, moisture, steam or heat, and the pneumatic operation makes them ideal for situations where sparks and electrical problems cannot be tolerated.

The ultra sensitive, pull cord speed regulation, built into every PROFI hoist, was key to this precision Navy operation. The ability of the hoists to be left running indefinitely without damage adds to the exceptional versatility of the PROFI Line.

The J.D. Neuhaus Corporation offers a full line with capacities from 500 lbs. to 100 tons, pneumatic hoists, plus a wide variety of trolleys and hoists that operate at 60 PSI or hydraulic power.

For your next impossible challenge, or for efficient everyday operation, do what the U.S. hlovy did. Send a

S.O.S. to J.D. Neuhaus Corporation.
