Pacific region now that Asia is recover- ing from an economic downturn," she said. "In fact, 40 percent of all marine industry sales lie within that region."

She added, "While I would like to con- tinue our efforts in North America and

Europe, I want to also explore options in

Brazil and the military/naval business."

In terms of the unit's muscle, which lies in CAT dealer organizations, Arnold was not at all hesitant to express her upbeat attitude toward these groups. "Bar none, the largest strengths are the

CAT dealer organizations," she said. "We sell through our dealers because they are internationally known as the best in the business in terms of world- wide coverage."

Just how will this new marine business unit enhance CAT's already broad cus- tomer base? Arnold cites that the expan- sion is a positive one because customers will now look to the company as one that is committed to the industry.

In essence, the expansion is one tha also based on two facets that will ne go out of style - growth and revenue. "We see growth in the marine indus for us is largely due to the focus we' placed on it," Arnold said. "And t measure of that growth is in the reven and profits."

ASD Tug

Sause Bros, has added its seconc

Azimuth stern drive (ASD) tug, Tin

Lani to its Hawaiian operation for assis- tance to ships both departing and arriv- ing Honolulu Harbor, as well as their own barge movements.

Joining ASD tugs Kamehu and Pono,

Tira Lani was designed and constructed by Southern Oregon Marine Shipyard,

Coos Bay, Ore.

Powered by twin CAT electronic propulsion engines rated at 2,100-hp @ 1,600 rpm, Tira Lani is also equipped with Ulstein Azimuth stern drive with 86 in. diameter propellers in nozzles. The system provides the vessel with a service speed of 13 knots, a bollard pull astern of more than 100,000 lbs. and a bollard pull ahead of 120,000 lbs.

Two Northern Lights Model M80C.2s, 80 kW and 480 volt generators provide electric power for the bow winch.
