Rea Towing Integrated

Into Cory Ship Towage

Rea Towing, which operates nine tugs on Mersey side, has now been fully integrated into Cory Ship

Towage, the towage operating com- pany within Wm. Cory & Son, a division of the Liverpool, England- based Ocean Group. Rea Towing was formerly part of Rea Limited, the balance of whose shares was acquired by Ocean last year.

For the present, iMerseyside tow- age services will continue to be op- erated in the name of Rea, although they are now an extension of Cory

Ship Towage's other services at

Bristol, Avonmouth, Cardiff, Barry,

Newport, Milford Haven, Ply- mouth, Clyde, Belfast, London- derry, Cobh, and Bantry.

Capt. W.M. Fleming is manager of the Liverpool operations. R. An- derson of Rea Limited has been transferred to Cory Ship Towage,

London, as assistant chief engineer superintendent, and A.P. Taylor has been appointed superintendent engineer of Rea Towing.

CODOG System On

Icebreaker Will Double

Ice Penetration Power

The new U.S. Coast Guard ice- breaker Polar Star, which is now being built, will have a "100 per- cent increase in ice penetration capability over that of current

Coast Guard 'Wind' class icebreak- ers," it was reported on April 10 at the International Gas Turbine

Conference and Products Show.

In a paper delivered by A.F.

Finizio of Turbo Power and Ma- rine Systems, Inc., it was stated: "The Polar Star, under construc- tion at Lockheed Shipbuilding and

Construction Company, represents a major departure in U.S. icebreak- er propulsion plant design. Em- ploying a CODOG system (com- bined diesel or gas turbine) and three controllable reversible pitch propellers, the icebreaker will have one and a half times the power of the Soviet Union's Lenin, present- ly the most powerful icebreaker afloat."

In describing the propulsion system, Mr. Finizio said: "The

CODOG system, in itself, is a de- parture from standard design, us- ing a combination of diesel electric propulsion drive with a mechanical gas turbine-reduction gear drive system. The diesel electric AC gen- erated, rectified to DC drive sys- tem, is the icebreaker base load or cruise plant, while the gas turbine boost plant is used to power the icebreaker in thick ice fields. The two independent systems drive common shaft lines with CRP pro- pellers. The propulsion motor arm- ature becomes a part of the line shafting during gas turbine opera- tion."

Bandrowski Named

Kaiser Sales Rep For

A REVOLUTIONARY NEW LINE

OF ADVANCED DOPPLER

SONAR PRODUCTS .../or commercial marine, geophysical and oceanographic uses

For survey exploration and research, Magnavox has developed the new MX-660 Doppler

Sonar Navigator, a high-precision, stand-alone navigation system which provides exact measure- ment of ship's speed and dis- tance traveled across the ocean floor.

MX-660 Doppler Sonar Navigator

For commercial marine use, Magnavox offers its new MX-880 Doppler Sonar Docking & Speed Log

System. This outstanding high-precision marine system measures ship's motion across the bottom (fore-aft speed plus lateral velocity of bow and stern independently), enhancing safety and effi- ciency of harbor/channel maneuvering and docking for container ships, large tankers, and others.

These two exceptional products represent state-of- the-art "break-throughs." Modern digital processing techniques are utilized to eliminate adjustments and calibrations associated with analog signal pro- cessing employed by other doppler sonar manu- facturers. Elimination of calibrations and adjustments simplifies both installation and opera- tion. Solid state circuitry, with plug-in module construction, insures maximum reliability and permits easy maintenance by shipboard personnel.
