Equipment from Smith Berger

Marine, Inc., based in Seattle,

Wash., has meant quality and reli- ability to the marine industry for much of this century.

Since WWII, Smith Berger has supplied the U.S. Navy with naval class fairleads. Built to exacting standards, these fairleads have been adopted by the offshore industry because of their high degree of reli- ability and ease of service where rugged offshore duty is expected.

Recently, the innovative Marine

Class fairleads were introduced for more general marine applications.

Using Computer Aided Design methods, new sealing arrangements, high strength castings and special fabricated components, the Mariner provides an economical answer to the needs of today's civilian marine industry while maintaining tradi- tional Smith Berger quality.

Other fairleads by Smith Berger include the patented bending shoe fairlead used on the first deep-water floating production platform in the

Gulf of Mexico, underwater sheave type fairleads custom-designed for chain or wire rope mooring, bal- anced head deck or flange mounted fairleads for large diameter mooring ropes, and roller fairleads for most wire or synthetic rope sizes.

Smith Berger designs include deck hardware for alll types of ma- rine vessels, abchoring systems for drilling rigs and barges in offshore service, towing hardware, and spe- cialized mooring equipment and fairlead systems with broad applica- tion throughout the marine indus- try.

Smith Berger engineers are in- volved in designing highly custom- ized systems to meet the needs of marine customers around the world and are available for consultation wherever standard or special Smith

Berger products are required. •

Service Marine Building

Third Excursion Boat

For Cruise International

Service Marine Industries, Inc.,

Morgan City, La., as was previously reported, is building its third din- ner/excursion vessel within a year for Cruise International of Norfolk,

Va.

The as-yet-unnamed vessel will be the near sister ship of the Spirit of Norfolk launched in April of this year. T.R. Hensley, president of

Service Marine Industries said that the new vessel will have a two-foot deeper hull than the Spirit of Nor- folk to handle more boisterous seas, and which also gives the vessel an even more "yachty look" than her predecessor.

The 175-foot-long, 36-foot-wide

Circle 163 on Reader Service Card vessel will have a certificate for 600 passengers, and will have the same elegant interiors as the Spirit of

Norfolk. She will be used in dinner and excursion service, not in over- night cruise service as was previous- ly reported.
