On Deck for July:

Deck Machinery:
The extreme tensions generated by the new era of tractor tug hulls and propulsion systems are placing unparalleled stress on the traditional deck machinery.  

In the July issue we will take our annual look at advances in mooring, winches, towing winches and new synthetic lines.

If you operate a tugboat in this market, provide deck machinery, synthetic line or other ship assist technology, this issue provides the ideal editorial environment for promoting your company to the Pacific Coast maritime industry.
 
Container Handling Equipment:
July is our annual survey and look into the new developments and installations of container handling equipment on the West Coast. No other publication reaches the number of terminal operators, stevedores and port authorities nationwide.
