INSLEY DREDGE TENDER: N.E. Insley,

Inc., Crisfield, Md., recently delivered a new 35-foot dredge tender powered by o

CAT D-330TA with a Twin Disc 3:1 hy- draulic gear. The vessel, shown above, was built and delivered to Lance J. Eller, Inc. of Tasley, Va., for use with the 14-inch portable dredge. Designed for use for both pushing and towing, the vessel has full headroom in her engine room, as well as a seat which converts to a berth during long tows. The vessel swings o 34-inch by 40- inch four-blode wheel and draws approxi- mately three feet when fully loaded. The hull design has proved to be very maneu- verable and easily handled under all con- ditions. N. Edward Insley, president of N.

E. Insley, Inc., also reports that a 40-foot tender for undisclosed interests is nearing completion and that these vessels will be offered as stock boats in the future.

Hellenic Shipyards And

Grandi Motori Plan

Diesel Engine Plant

An agreement in principle was signed by Hellenic Shipyards of

Scaramanga, Greece, and Grandi Mo- tori Trieste, Italy, for the establish- ment at Scaramanga of a diesel en- gine plant and an iron foundry.

The diesel engines (for marine and land applications) to be produced at

Scaramanga will be of original Fiat design, now Grandi Motori Trieste.

Initial production of the diesel en- gines will be 200,000 horsepower per year and that of the foundry, which will comply with the require- ments of the diesel engines plant and other customers, will be 5,000 tons.

The technological processes and the machine tools of the diesel engine plant will be the same as those of

Grandi Motori Trieste.
