Intercontinental Engineering-Manufacturing Corporation

Intercon is happy to announce that we have received a contract award to build three shipsets of Generator Frames for the US Navy's new Columbia Class submarines. Generators provide the power to meet the electrical demand of onboard systems. Generator Frames serve as the structural housing to support and protect the generators while in operation. We are proud to support Curtiss-Wright Corporation, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics Electric Boat in supplying these mission-critical components to the submariners of the US Navy. Much has been written recently about the decline of US commercial and military shipbuilding. Since 1958, Intercon has built equipment for workboats, coastal transport vessels, and military vessels operating in domestic and international markets. We perform this work on 65 acres of land on the banks of the Missouri River overlooking the City of Kansas City, MO. From this unlikely outpost, we proudly carry on the tradition of shipbuilding in the United States. Contact Intercontinental Engineering-Manufacturing Corporation for TechPub-248/278 qualified Fabrication, TechPub-271 qualified NDT, and ISO 9001:2015 certified Heavy Machining of components up to 200,000lbs.

Intercon is pleased to introduce the ESD-95 Single Drum Escort Winch. The ESD-95 is designed for tugs that generate up to 95 tonnes of indirect steering and braking force during ship escorting service. Every marine winch that Intercon designs is informed by more than 65 years of winch design, manufacturing, operations, and field support experience. The design process for the ESD-95 drew on that experience, but always with an eye on recent technological advances in electric motors, VFDs, and vessel electrification.  Foremost among the design objectives: - Simplify the mechanical design to reduce the number of moving parts as compared to competing escort winches - Fully leverage VFD and electric motor advances of the last 10 years, particularly the ABB Smart Winch drive-integrated control software - Where possible, integrate directly into the DC bus of electric and hybrid-electric tugs to reduce cost and maximize power regeneration - Achieve the above goals to design a winch that costs 20% less than competing products of similar capability The ESD-95 meets all of our stated objectives. This effort would not have been possible without extraordinary support from ABB for motor and VFD selection, important insights from Robert Allan Ltd. into escort tug design and winch performance requirements, and operational feedback from countless customers. They all have our most sincere thanks. Please contact Juan Mendez Jr. or Mike McCoy for more information about the ESD-95, as well as the other winches under development in this product family.

Intercon is proud to announce that we have received another order from Philadelphia Gear, Power Systems by Timken to produce two shipsets of the US Navy's Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer's (DDG-51) Main Reduction Gear (MRG) Housings. This order marks 160 DDG-51 MRG Housings that Intercon has produced, or has been contracted to produce, since 1990. DDG-51s are the backbone of the US Navy's surface combatant fleet. From drone and missile defense in the Red Sea, to freedom of navigation missions in the Taiwan Strait, to humanitarian missions too numerous to mention, DDG-51s project both power and hope. Intercon is very pleased to once again provide these mission-critical propulsion components to Philadelphia Gear, Power Systems by Timken, General Dynamics - Bath Iron Works, Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). Most importantly, we are proud to continue serving the sailors of the US Navy.

Day 2 of the Navy League of the United States Sea-Air-Space exhibition. Providing resilient support to the US Navy's shipbuilding programs. # Intercon #SAS2024

See you next week at Sea | Air | Space presented by the Navy League of the United States at the Gaylord in National Harbor, MD. Both Frank Teeple and Juan Mendez Jr. are ready to connect with existing and potential costumers continuing INTERCON’s support of the US Navy’s shipbuilding programs.

Intercon is pleased to announce a recent contract award to build two shipsets of Main Propulsion Motor Walls for the US Navy's new Columbia Class submarines. This contract marks the fifth and sixth shipsets of Columbia Motor Walls that Intercon will produce for Northrop Grumman. We are proud to support Northrop Grumman, Leonardo DRS, and General Dynamics Electric Boat in supplying these mission-critical components to the submariners of the US Navy. This award marks the 34th year that Intercon has produced large, complex fabricated and machined propulsion components for numerous shipbuilding programs, including: - SSBN-826 Columbia Class Main Propulsion Motor Walls - DDG-51 Arleigh Burke Class Main Reduction Gear Housings - CVN-78 Ford Class Main Reduction Gear Housings - FFG-62 Constellation Class Main Reduction Gear Housings - CVN-68 Nimitz Class Main Reduction Gear Housings - LHA-6 America Class Main Reduction Gear Housings Contact Intercontinental Engineering-Manufacturing Corporation for TechPub-248/278 qualified Fabrication, TechPub-271 qualified NDT, and ISO 9001:2015 certified Heavy Machining of components up to 200,000lbs.

Intercon is proud to announce our recent contract award of two shipsets of Model 50C ATB Couplers from Bollinger Shipyards. The ATBs, operated by Edison Chouest Offshore, will provide feedering of wind turbine components to Maersk Supply Service's innovative new WTIV. Initially deployed to support the construction of Equinor's Empire Wind 1 project, this combination of vessels, utilizing both mature and new technologies, will address many of the obstacles facing fixed wind deployment throughout the world: - The WTIV remains permanently on station throughout the installation phase and leverages Feedering ATBs to supply wind turbine components - Ports only need to be able to support the Feedering ATBs, not the entire WTIV, greatly increasing the number of potential marshalling ports available for use - Feedering ATBs do not face the same weather or speed restrictions as towed-barge feedering solutions - The WTIV leverages a unique barge locking system that works in conjunction with the ATBs lightering capability to allow safe cargo transfer without the need for complex vessel motion compensation platforms #FeederingistheFuture #ATB #Intercon
