Large Boat Handling

From Marine Travelift's 200 & 300 BFMs

The 200 BFM and 300 BFM Mo- bile Boat Hoists from Marine

Travelift are designed to handle large pleasure and commercial craft.

At 400,000 lb. (181,500 kg) and 600,000 lb. (272,200 kg) capacities, these models have ample diesel hy- draulic power for hoisting, travel- ing, steering and sling spacing.

With automatic load equalizing to all slings and a forward top beam for improved clearance, the Marine

Travelift BFMs assure safer, more efficient boat handling than that offered by rail systems.

Kuwait Agrees To Use

U.S.-Flag Ships

In Rebuilding

The Government of Kuwait will allow U.S.-flag vessels to carry up to 50 percent of material and cargo to their country during rebuilding ef- forts. Until recently, Kuwait re- fused to honor an agreement to use

American ships.

Merchant Marine Committee members threatened to turn the matter over to the Federal Mari- time Commission for possible Sec- tion 19 action if Kuwait continued to dishoner the agreement to use

American ships.
