George Fegert Honored For Work

With Shipyard Conference

Robert W. Greene (left), president of Jeffboat Inc., presents the AWSC award to the organization's immediate past chair- man George J. Fegert, president of Gretna Machines & Iron

Works Inc.

The American Waterways Shipyard Confer- ence (AWSC) honored its immediate past chairman, George J. Fegert, president of

Gretna Machines & Iron Works, Inc., Harvey,

La., at a recent meeting in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Fegert, an active supporter of AWSC since its inception in 1976, was presented an award commemorating his tireless service to the shipyard industry.

During his tenure as chairman, Mr. Fegert continued to lead the battle to reform the

Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Com- pensation Act to obtain jurisdictional relief for the small and medium-sized shipyard indus- try. Under his leadership, AWSC began work on the development of a comprehensive OSHA vertical standard which would relieve the in- dustry of all inappropriate regulations.

Mr. Fegert will join other distinguished col- leagues in the past chairmen's advisory com- mittee, the purpose of which is to advise the shipyard steering committee on matters af- fecting the industry.

The award was presented by AWSC chair- man Robert W. Greene, president of Jeffboat

Incorporated, Jeffersonville, Ind., who praised

Mr. Fegert for the "dedicated work that he has done on our behalf."

AWSC is a conference of The American

Waterways Operators, Inc., the national trade association representing the barge and towing industry.

MSC And Ocean Carriers Sign $250-Million T-5 Tanker Pact

A $250-million agreement between the

Navy's Military Sealift Command (MSC) and

Ocean Carriers Inc., of Houston, Texas, to charter five diesel powered T-5 tankers was signed in New York recently.

The five new 30,000-dwt clean product, ice- strengthened ships will replace 25-year-old

T-5 tankers currently owned by MSC and con- tract operated. Signing for MSC was Rear

Adm. Warren C. Hamm Jr., MSC Com- mander, and for Ocean Carriers, Joe F.

Vaughan Jr., president.

Ocean Carriers was selected in September 1982 to receive a $104.1-million build and charter contract for the initial two T-5 tank- ers. Options for three more ships were exer- cised in April 1983 at a five-year charter cost of $149.4 million. Each ship will be chartered for five years with three additional five-year options.

The first two tankers, to be built by Ameri- can Ship Building Co., Tampa, Fla., will be delivered in January and April 1985, two more in 1985, and the last ship in early 1986.

The new tankers offer greatly increased fuel efficiency from the slow-speed diesel engines, decreased crew size due to automation, and approximately 12-percent greater cargo capac- ity. After delivery of the new, the older T-5s will be placed in reserve.

Tuna Clipper Saves 80,000 Gallons Of Fuel

On One Trip—Literature Available

Tuna fleet Capt. Harold Medina saved enough fuel using the

Avicon Monitor 205 on one trip to pay for the fuel manage- ment system in two weeks.

Harold Medina, a highly respected tuna fleet captain and manager of the Ocean Pearl, owned by Interocean Systems of San Diego,

Calif., returned from a recent 24,000-mile trip with a fuel savings of 80,000 gallons, accord- ing to Avicon Corporation, Scottsdale, Ariz.

This is one of many documented cases where

Avicon's Fuel-Efficiency Monitor 205 has saved up to 30 percent in fuel consumption.

Avicon is now offering free literature detail- ing the potential fuel savings which vessel owners can realize with the Avicon system.

Captain Medina found that when using the

Avicon system on the 225-foot tuna clipper, its 3,600-hp diesel engine consumed about 3,000 gallons of fuel a day when underway, rather than 4,000 gallons of fuel a day, without the system. On this particular trip from San

Diego to South America, Hawaii, New Guinea and back home, the Ocean Pearl—which car- ries 1,100 tons of fish—consumed a total of 230,000 gallons of fuel. The reported savings of 80,000 gallons of fuel, therefore, when com- pared with similar conditions on previous voy- ages without the Avicon system, is substantial.

Avicon's fuel management system helps the operator select the most efficient RPM for run- ning and fuel consumption by monitoring con- ditions such as load, trim and weather. The

Monitor 205 consists of sensors and a micro- processor display unit which provides digital information on fuel-flow, speed through the water, RPMs, propeller slip, and time and dis- tance to waypoint. After initial keyboard pro- gramming, the monitor system presents all the data needed for evaluating performance and for setting up fuel saving procedures.

Avicon also provides a Monitor 105 system for measurement of critical engine tempera- ture and other operating data. The Avicon

Sonilog Doppler Speed Log, which is an inte- gral part of the Monitor 205 system, is also available as a separate unit, providing accu- rate measurement of speed through the water, close to the hull.

For more information on how the Avicon

Monitor 205 can save fuel, and for more infor- mation on other Avicon marine engine man- agement systems,
