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

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.
Contact us and you’ll see why the foremost
fleets on the Great Lakes refer to G.R. Bowler, Inc. for automated
marine control systems. |
