Foss Tug Outfitted with New

Ship-Assist and Escort Winch

Markey Machinery Company of Seattle, Wash., has developed a new Electric Bow Ship-Assist & Escort

Winch and Electric Stern General Purpose Deck Winch for Foss Maritime, in response to its application requirements for the new 5,000 hp ASD Tug, Morgan

Foss, constructed at Foss Maritime's Rainier Shipyard.

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.

Gladding-Hearn Incat Gets Retrofit

Grey Lady II, the second high-speed ferry, built in 1997 by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Duclos

Corporation, for Hy-Line Cruises in Hyannis, Mass., has undergone a major retrofit. 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.
