For Board of Directors and the monitoring and control systems.

Reduced manning schedules have resulted in increased dependence on monitoring and control of the propulsion system. Colt Power Sys- tems' engineers design the remote systems that allow the operator to continuously observe operation of the machinery from the bridge and engine room consoles. Remote con- trol from these stations along with the necessary monitoring meet the requirements for today's vessels.

The Colt-Pielstick "V"-type en- gine is a four-cycle medium-speed unit with a bore of 15.75 inches and a stroke of 18.1 inches. The PC-2, rated at 500 horsepower per cylin- der, can operate on all diesel fuels and with minor engine and system adjustments, on heavy fuels to 3500

SSU.

Both tug and barge units are de- signed for a complement of 14 men and will operate under the Ameri- can flag for transportation of petro- leum and chemical products in the

U.S. coastal trade. The cargo tanks for 'both vessels have a capacity of 325,000 barrels. The combined tug and barge units will have an overall length of 629 feet, a 35-foot operat- ing draft and a designed speed of 14.75 knots. J.B. Hargrave Naval

Architects, Inc. of West Palm

Beach, Fla., are the designers for the equipment.

Colt-Pielstick Order

Duplicated For Second

Integrated Tug-Barge

A second pair of diesel engines has been ordered from Colt Indus- tries Power Systems Division of

Beloit, Wis., to power a new twin- screw tug-barge to be built in Gal- veston, Texas. This is a duplicate of an order received last year for engines for a similar tug-barge unit.

The two 14-cylinder engines will be Colt-Pielstick, Model PC-2, and will be shipped early next year.

The integrated tug and barge, called a CATUG, will be built for

Port Everglades Towing, Inc., of

Fort Lauderdale, Fla., by Kelso

Marine, Inc., of Galveston. The tug and barge fit and lock together forming a rigid connection between the stern of the barge and the twin hulls of the catamaran tug.

E.L. Fay Jr., vice president-prod- uct marketing for the Power Sys- tems Division, pointed out that this is a new approach toward an eco- nomical method of providing trans- portation of bulk cargoes. He added that the reversing marine engines are rated at 7,000 horsepower each and will turn twin four-blade pro- pellers. The division will also fur- nish the gears, engine auxiliaries
