Crescent Towing and

Salvage Adds ItsThird

GE Engine. The Fourth Is On Its Way.

According to Ellis P. Rushing. Port Engineer at

Crescent Towing and Salvage Company, the deci- sion was easy. More than 35,000 hours of repair- free service and increasingly significant fuel economy have been provided by the 12-cylinder, turbocharged General Electric diesel engine on their MV Port Hudson. This more than justified across-the-fleet conversion to GE power plants.

When the repowering project is completed in 1981, "the most sought after fleet of boats in the

New Orleans area" should become one of the most cost-effective in the country.
