摘要：	In March, Campbell Transportation's Lincoln Thomas, a 7O'×24'×10' towing vessel built in 1975, was repowered with a pair of 850-hp Mitsubishi S12A2s main engines at Amherst Madison, Charleston, W.Va. The engines were provided by Laborde Products. The towboat works on the Ohio River out of Pittsburgh. The new diesels replaced two 850-hp Cummins KTA38s. This seems to be a significant shift away from Cummins engines for Campbell Transportation's liquid towing vessels, of which there are 10 listed on Campbell Transportation's website. Prior to the repowering, seven of the vessels had Cummins main engines. No engine was listed for the remaining three. The Mitsubishi engines are somewhat lighter and slightly smaller than the Cummins engines. Trace Laborde, vice president of sales at Laborde Products in Covington, La., doesn't think the weight savings was a factor in selecting the Mitsubishi's. "They really liked the simplicity and their ability to service the Mitsubishi engine and the support we could provide." That includes parts availability and "training their team on the engines," he said.
