» * "GE engines give the new Ml'V Eden Brent a $135,000 annual fuel advantage."

That's why Brent Towing Company made the decision to install twin General Electric 12-cylinder diesel engines in the new M/V

Eden Brent.

According to Lea Brent, president, "This fuel economy advantage was projected based upon extensive motive power tests backed by the actual performance of similar General

Electric engines in our repowered Senator

Eastland'.'

In addition to inherent fuel economy, the two GE 4-cycle, turbocharged marine diesel engines provide numerous features designed for maximum reliability and minimum operating costs over a long service life. For maintenance simplicity, the engines allow easy accessibility and parts standardization.

The 2600-horsepower General Electric engines will provide cost-effective power for the 147-foot, 529-gross-ton Eden Brent, pushing commodity-laden barges on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and along the Intra- coastal Waterway. For more information on this fuel efficient motor vessel and its General

Electric power plant, contact Lea Brent.
