By Pamela Conover, President and COO, Cunard Line The long history of Cunard Line is filled with momen- tous occasions and it would be difficult to imagine a company with a greater number of legendary ocean liners to call its own. The early "Cunarders" launched the world's first regularly scheduled transatlantic passenger service in the 1840's. The historic "Queens" helped define luxury ocean travel in the 20th century. For almost two hundred years, Cunard has been in the fore- front of maritime engineering and innovative technology. But there may be no greater event in Cunard's illus- trious history than the arrival, in 2004, of Queen Mary 2. The maiden voyage of Queen Mary 2 in January is the beginning of an entirely new era for Cunard Line, one that will see, for the first time ever, a fleet of three Cunard "Queens" plying the oceans of the world. As Queen Mary 2 takes over the modern cruise industry's only regular transatlantic service, the hugely popular Queen Elizabeth 2, which, since the 1960's, has defined luxury ocean travel, will shift to Europe while maintaining its world cruise schedule. Queen Mary 2 and Queen By David Tinsley, technical editor The newbuilding's design is based on an operating Elizabeth 2 will be joined in 2005 by another new Confounding the skeptics who said the 70.300-gt requirement for a minimum eight or nine months' Cunard build, the 1968-passenger Queen Victoria.

December 2003 33 Deck Machinery & Cargo Handling Equipment Techcrane Designs, Builds 125-ton Crane for Midnight Wrangler

Techcrane Global Corporation is a Covington, La.-based marine crane manufacturer/distributor who recently installed Techcrane Model F250-100 onboard Torch Offshore L.L.C.'s Midnight Wrangler. This was a crane custom-designed for Torch with a maximum capacity of 125 tons at 30-ft. reach. Time lapse between design con- ceptions to fabrication in Covington, La., was less than six months.
