Smith Berger Towing Pins

Heavy Lift: Giant Pipe Racks

Smith Berger Marine, Inc. was selected by

Edison Chouest Offshore to design and manu- facture the Tow Pin Stern Roller units required on its nine new vessels (? ve escort tugs and four docking tugs). Edison Chouest is building the new tugs to execute its 10-year Ship Escort-

Response Vessel System (SERVS) contract with the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company.

The tugs will provide tanker escort and spill re- sponse services in Prince William Sound. The

Tow Pin unit has the capacity to sustain 250 tons of line tension and features three individu- ally raised and lowered towing pins, one hold down hook and a 14-in. diameter stern roller.

The tow pins have a dedicated ? ve-hp electro- hydraulic power unit and are operated by a re- mote control panel located in the wheelhouse.

Smith Berger was also chosen to furnish the

Shark Jaws and Towing Pins for the four new

Damen Stan 3711 tugs being built at Conrad

Industries for Young Brothers Limited. The shark jaws and towing pins will provide for safer towing operations, especially when the crew is connecting the towing bridle to the tow wire from the winch. The four shipsets of equipment is nearly identical to the Smith

Berger gear installed on the latest Foss Mari- time tugs, the Michele Foss, Denise Foss and
