Moss Point Marine, Inc. of the

Trinity Marine Group has delivered the 100-foot passenger and vehicle ferry Mark G. Goode to the Texas

State Department of Highways and

Public Transportation. It has joined six other ferries working between

Inc., also of the Trinity Marine

Group.

The working car deck, with a beam of 44 feet, can accommodate 20 passenger vehicles and 10 walk- on passengers. The elevated pilot- house is designed for total ship con- trol in either direction by the place- ment of dual commmand stations and unrestricted 360-degree visibili- ty.

Main engine propulsion is pro- vided by two Detroit Diesel 8V92N engines developing 300 bhp at 1,800 coupled to Twin Disc MG 514 re- verse/reduction gears with a ratio of 5.16:1. Electrical power is supplied by a pair of 35-kw generators driven by two Detroit Diesel 3-71 engines.

The vessel's electrohydraulic steer- ing system was provided by EMI of

New Orleans and its pneumatic en- gine controls were manufactured by

Wabco.

A partial list of the navigation and communications equipment in- cludes a Sea-Tec radar with dual display units, two Horizon radio telephones, a Raytheon loud hailer, a Kahlenberg air horn and a Carlisle and Finch searchlight. An EMI en- gine alarm and fire detection system
