World-renowned

Schat Life Raft Davits are now approved for use on

U.S. ships. Schat's Raft Launching

Davits are built to the highest standards and are now approved by every leading safety authority in the world. The latest seal of approval comes from the U.S. Coast Guard, allowing ship owners and builders to retrofit this proven davit on their vessels.

Slewing Arm Design. Schat's design features the slewing arm for maximum flexibility. The internal winch mechanism means that several fullv-loaded inflatable rafts can be launched in sequence within 30 minutes. Simple to operate, easy to maintain, and designed for space-saving stowaway, the

Raft Launching Davit is fitted on hundreds of ships, ferries, oil rigs and platforms around the world. Now it's made in America for

American ships and offshore structures.

Hudson Shipbuilders, Inc. (HUDSHIP) of Pascagoula, Miss., recently delivered its fifth vessel for 1980, the 120-foot utility boat

Wanda Louise, built for Gerald P.

Hebert Enterprises, Inc. of La- fayette, La. Designed by Har

Keswani & Associates of New

Orleans especially for the produc- tion department of Transco Ex- ploration Company, the new ves- sel will service production plat- forms up to 125 miles offshore.

The Wanda Louise is said to be a unique vessel for her size. In addition to having an American

Bureau of Shipping loadline and being built to U.S. Coast Guard

Subchapter I Requirements, her deck cargo capacity is more than 130 tons, and she has freezer/ cooler equipment to handle per- ishable items for the platforms and standby vessels.

Liquid cargo capability includes fuel, industrial water, and tri- ethylene glycol. Heavy-duty, 3- inch pumps are used to transfer these liquids. She is required to off-load cargo in any type of weather, and is equipped with anchor chain and windlass rather than a cable and winch.

Wanda Louise is powered by twin GM Detroit Diesel Allison 16V92NA engines, each rated 600 bhp at 1,800 rpm and supplied by George Engine Company, and (continued on page 24) 'WANDA LOUISE' SUPPLIERS
