of steam or diesel-powered vessels reach the end of their life spans,
the trend has been to modernize and refit steam ship systems with
new automation technology.
Case Study: Judging from the
bottom line results of G.R. Bowler's Callaway
automation project, many steam engines long thought to be headed
toward retirement on the Great Lakes may now be reborn with this
technological fountain of youth. Read about G.R. Bowler's Callaway

Diesel vs. Steam
Over the last decade, a major question in the Great Lakes shipping
industry has been whether to re-power with diesel engines or to save the existing
“old reliable” steam engine by increasing its efficiency.
Up front, diesel appears to be more efficient, but it’s more
expensive to maintain. Diesel stack emissions are also more difficult to reduce than those
of steam power. A new, more economical answer has been found in modern innovative engine
room management of existing steam plants.

Lakes refer to G.R. Bowler, Inc. to modernize their shipping. |
