Pine Tree Engineering's most recent equipment design is being used on board the new LASH (lighter aboard ship) vessels, a promising new con- cept in ocean shipping. Creative engineering by

Pine Tree's marine specialists produced efficient new designs for critical mooring, clocking and barge handling equipment on the LASH vessels. Adding to the inherent efficiency of the LASH concept.

That's why it made a lot of sense for Lykes Sea

Barges to rely on Pine Tree for the develop- ment of the key on-deck components. Pine Tree specialists designed constant tension winches, mooring winches and anchor windlasses for the unique Lykes System which does not use conventional cranes.

Backed by Rice Barton's manufacturing expertise,

Pine Tree Engineering can not only develop a designed solution to virtually any marine on-deck equipment problem, but also construct the actual equipment. Efficiently. Dependably. To find out what a Pine Tree design can hold for the future of your project, contact: Mr. Roger M. Luke, president,
