Ship Operating Subsidies

Not Subject To Budget

Cutting Constraints

The across-the-board cuts, or "se- questrations" mandated by the

Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction act do not apply to ship operating subsidies, according to the Office of Management and Bud- get.

Responding to a request from

House Merchant Marine and Fish- eries Committee chairman Walter

B. Jones, OMB director James

Miller III stated: "The basis for our determination that the ODS program is exempt from sequestra- tion is that the obligations to make

ODS payments occurred at the time these contracts were signed." Mr.

Miller explained that under Sec- tion 256 (1) of G-R-H, obligated bal- ances are exempt from sequestra- tion.

Heavy-Lift And Ship-Repair

Project Begins At PSRY —Literature Available

Portland Ship Repair Yard (PSRY), Lampson International, and resident contractors recently began a unique heavy-lift and ship- repair project on the offshore con- struction crane ship Sarita I, owned by Brown and Root, Inc.

The project involves the one- piece removal and installation of the 300-foot-long main boom weighing 350 tons, and the "A" frame that weighs 150 tons at a reach of over 200 feet. Lampson's Transi-Lift crane, stationed at PSRY, with a capacity of 1,200 tons, is more than a match for the task.

Free Color Brochure

From Envirovac Describes

Vacuum Sewage Systems

A free, eight-page color brochure titled "Envirovac Inc. E-Vac Vacu- um Sewage Technology" is being offered by Envirovac Inc. of Rock- ford, 111.

The publication discusses and de- scribes E-Vac systems for marine use, in airplanes, trains, and in com- mercial, recreation, industrial and municipal applications. The best type of E-Vac vacuum sewage sys- tem and its advantages for each pur- pose are discussed and the main fea- tures of each highlighted.

For example, the basic benefits of

E-Vac systems for marine use in- clude: low volume flush—two pints per flush; small diameter piping— 1V2-inch and 2-inch; vertical lift ca- pability—flush upward to 16 feet; and piping independent of slope— increased installation flexibility.

Other applications are similarly pre- sented.

The brochure points out that E-

Vac vacuum sewage systems for marinas offer a sanitary and con- venient means for boatowners and operators to empty their sewage holding tanks either automatically or semiautomatically. Sewage is transported from a boat's holding tank through the mains to the vacu- um central module where it is then automatically pumped to a gravity sewer or treatment plant.

The publication contains a gener- ous amount of striking photos that include vessels, airplanes, trains, marinas, etc., that are equipped with E-Vac systems.
