Articulated Tug Barge (ATB) Coupler Systems
The INTERCON COUPLER SYSTEM provides a safe and efficient solution to the problems of connecting tugs and barges in ocean and coastwise pushing operations.... More Info Less Info



Principal benefits include the ability to push in the widest range of sea states; the complete elimination of hull contact; fail-safe mechanical connection with redundant controls, and elimination of the expense and hazards of towing lines and related equipment.In simplest form, the patented Intercon Coupler System provides a single degree of freedom allowing the tug to pitch about a transverse connection between the tug and barge. All other motions are restrained so that tug motions match barge motions in roll and heave. The connection is mechanical – accomplished with two independently mounted ram assemblies, gear driven, and configured for tug installation. The rams stroke transversely, engaging the vertical ladder structures incorporated into both walls of the stern notch. The resulting tug-barge connection is rigid and mechanically locked.


Winches – Towing & Anchor Handling

INTERCON winches operate worldwide in a wide range of applications. For over 50 years, Intercon has designed and manufactured equipment to meet the exact needs of its customers.... More Info Less Info







whether that need is met from Intercon’s full line of standard products or from customized one-of-a-kind machines or systems.

INTERCON pioneered high-linepull winches for modern workboats. Intercon’s anchor handling winches replaced “towing machines” as the standard for the offshore oil market – especially in the formative stages of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. Power and strength for severe service became principal design criteria for all Intercon towing and anchor handling winches. Linepull capabilities range from 35,000 to 1,000,000 lbs.

INTERCON continues to lead the industry in pioneering development. Intercon’s latest reverse waterfall towing winches include state-of-the-art local and wheelhouse touch screen control. In addition to winch control, touchscreens provide winch integral monitoring of static and dynamic load, line tension, line speed and payout. Winch integral monitoring systems eliminate the inconvenience of RLTs taking up precious deck space. Wheelhouse control and monitoring add another level of safety for captain and crew.
