Trinity Marine Group — 14 Yards,

No Waiting

The recent gaming vessel craze is an exciting and important part of

Trinity's broad product mix, as Trin- ity has built more vessels than any other small- to medium-sized ship- yard in the U.S.

Trinity has the capability to de- sign casino boats with its own in- house naval architects. Its experi- enced engineering staff of over 100 people has developed preliminary plans for gaming vessels ranging from 220 to 405 feet in length, with passenger capacities from 1,200 to 3,500. Trinity can design these ves- sels as modest or as glamorous as the client likes. These vessels are sternwheel, imitation sidewheel or ultra-modern, and can be modified to meet particular requirements.

In addition to building boats to its own designs, Trinity has success- fully worked with numerous naval architects to build boats to their or to the owners' designs.

Trinity has developed a 337-foot by 68-foot by 15-foot Great Lakes

Casino Boat which has approxi- mately 43,000-sq.-ft. of gaming area, and can accommodate 2,500 passen- gers.

Trinity has also completed a 245- foot by 62-foot by 12-foot Casino

Paddlewheeler for Hilton/New Or- leans Paddlewheel. This boat has 23,000 sq. ft. of gaming area and can accommodate 1,800 passengers. In addition, Trinity is completing a sec- ond identical boat, and in October will complete the 332-foot by 90-foot by 14-foot Queen of New Orleans.

This vessel has 30,000 sq. ft. of gam- ing area, and can accommodate 2,700 passengers.

The Queen of New Orleans was designed by Trinity's in-house engi- neering staff and its luxury will ri- val that of any casino boat.

Trinity currently operates 14 shipyards, and its large capacity enables the construction of numer- ous boats concurrently. Once a con- tract is signed, a capable and expe- rienced program manager is as- signed to every project to ensure a smooth and trouble-free boat-build- ing experience. Trinity's strength lies in its vast experience, quality construction, and on-time delivery.

Trinity says its number of repeat customers, plus the financial back- ing of its parent company, Trinity

Industries, is unsurpassed. Trinity also has extensive experience build- ing to the standards ofthe U.S. Coast

Guard, ABS, Lloyd's, DnV and other standards. Please visit Trinity Ma- rine Group at Booth 335. For more information on Trinity Marine

Datrex—Lighting The Way To Safety

A distinguishable guiding light in a darkened corridor may mean the difference between survival and disaster at sea. Should the emer- gency be a smoke-filled passage or a total power outage, passengers and crew can become disoriented with- out an illuminated escape route.

DaliteR marine low location light- ing systems can light the way.

With both electroluminescent and photoluminescent low location lighting systems to choose from,

Datrex can outfit a ship or marine installation with cost-effective methods to design escape routes, exit doors, and the location of emer- gency equipment. Datrex's compre- hensive low location lighting sys- tems will reportedly ensure that a ship is in full compliance with Inter- national Maritime Organization

Resolution A752 (18). Specific sys- tems and products are listed under

UL 1994.

The Dalite electroluminescent system uses strategically placed solid state lamp cells completely encapsu- lated within an impact-resistant, seamless polymer extrusion for du- rability and watertight performance.

The Dalite electroluminescent track is a single, self-contained com- ponent which features a "cut to fit" installation. The simplicity of the

Dalite track reportedly reduces the cost of equipment and labor at in- stallation, while increasing the reli- ability ofthe light track and reduc- ing the cost of ongoing maintenance.

Datrex also manufactures a com- plete range of marine safety equip- ment.

Some of the products manufac- tured by Datrex are lifejackets, lifebuoys, marine distress signals and liferaft and lifeboat loose equip- ment spares. For additional infor- mation on Datrex,
