Coast Guard Publishes

Revised Navigation Rules

The revised edition of the U.S.

Coast Guard publication "Naviga- tion Rules, International-Inland" is now available through the

Government Printing Office.

Federal law requires that after

January 1, 1983, a copy of the new Inland Navigation Rules must be kept for reference on- board all boats of 12 meters (39.4 feet) or more in length operating on inland waters. All boat oper- ators, regardless of the size of their vessel, are expected to know and comply with the Inland Navi- gation Rules which became ef- fective on December 24, 1981, on all inland waters except for the

Great Lakes. They will become effective on the Great Lakes on

March 1, 1983.

The International Rules which govern the operation of vessels outside U.S. waters have been re- vised by 55 amendments effec- tive June 1, 1983. The Coast

Guard book contains all of these changes. The USCG stresses that familiarity with the navigation rules is one of the surest ways to make vessel operations safer and more enjoyable for all con- cerned.

Price of the book is $6.50. It may be ordered by name, "Naviga- tion Rules, International-Inland," and stock number, 050-012-00192- 8, from the Superintendent of

Documents, U.S. Government

Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.

State Boat Begins

International Operations

The initial step in the enact- ment of State Boat Corporation's expansion plans into selected in- ternational markets occurred re- cently when the M./V State Spirit departed Morgan City, La., en- route to Singapore, where the vessel will commence operations on term charter with a Malaysian oil company.

The State Spirit, a 192-foot supply boat, was delivered in mid-1982 and was employed in the Gulf of Mexico prior to her redeployment. State Boat will be accepting delivery of additional supply and tug/supply vessels, before March 1983, which are de- signed for worldwide operations.

State Boat of Houston, Texas, was formed in 1956, and at pres- ent operates a fleet of over 30 supply and tug/supply vessels.

Johnson & Towers Named

Alco Diesel Distributor —Literature Offered

Johnson & Towers, Inc., diesel engine specialist headquartered in Mount Laurel, N.J., has been appointed a distributor for the

Alco Power Boss line of large diesels ranging from 675 to 4,500 bhp, according to Peter M. John- son, J & T executive vice presi- dent.

These four-cycle engines, in- cluding an in-line six and V-8,

V-12, V-16, and V-18 models, are manufactured by Alco Power Inc.,

Auburn, N.Y., part of the diesel engine group of General Electric

Company, Ltd., of England. Since the early 1930s, Alco has de- signed and produced turbocharg- ers for its own engines.

Johnson & Towers will concen- trate on developing markets for the Alco diesels for marine pro- pulsion and auxiliary power and for base load and standby elec- trical power generation. It will focus on an area including Mary- land, Delaware, Pennsylvania,

New Jersey, New York, and

Massachusetts, as well as over- seas, stocking Alco parts and providing service for these en- gines. "Our 56-year-old company, long noted for its diesel expertise, is honored to become affiliated with

Alco, which was established in 1848 as a locomotive manufac- turer and has been a leader in the large diesel business for some 70 years," Mr. Johnson said. "The Alco engines will greatly expand our diesel product lines at the upper end of the power range with the fine quality prod- ucts for which Johnson & Towers is so well known," he explained.

In marine applications, Alco

Power Boss diesels are used for main propulsion and auxiliary power aboard oceangoing tugs, workboats, dredges, commercial fishing, Navy, and Coast Guard vessels. They meet the specifica- tions set by the American Bu- reau of Shipping (ABS), Lloyd's

Register of Shipping, Det norske

Veritas, and other leading ma- rine classification societies, as well as the U.S. military stand- ards.

Founded in 1926, Johnson &

Towers has been involved with diesel power since its earliest days and is currently a distribu- tor for Detroit Diesel Allison and

Isuzu. Earlier this year it re- ceived the U.S. President's "E"

Award for excellence in export markets.
