NORMAN WOLFSON MARINE SURVEYOR Consultant - Appraiser Area Code: 305 Phone: 523-1952 Lisnave Reports 1,060 Vessels Repaired During 1968 The year 1968 was an important and busy year for Lisnave, Estaleiros Navais de Lisbon, located in Lisbon, Portugal. In a special report issued by Thorsten Andersson and Joao Ro-cheta, managing directors, they outlined the work performed during the year and plans for the future. Lisnave has two shipyards in Lisbon. One yard, called the north yard, is owned by the Port of Lisbon Authority and is operated by Lisnave. This facility can handle vessels up to 18,000 dwt and employs 2,000 workers. The other yard, known as the south yard, is a new facility re-cently built and owned by Lisnave. In this latter plant, there are two drydocks, one for ships up to 300,000 dwt and the other for ships up to 100,000 dwt. There are 2,600 employees in the south yard. During 1968 the north yard repaired a total of 878 vessels, of these 414 required drydocking. The total tonnage of vessels docked was 671,584 gross tons. Of this quantity, 87 were foreign vessels, with 42 requiring drydocking. In the south yard 182 ships were repaired. Of this total 157 were foreign ships. The total tonnage handled by the yard in 1968 was 10,173,-519 dwt. The largest vessel repaired was the Macoma of 207,000 dwt. Also included were a series of 11 ships, each with a deadweight of 71,000 tons. Included in this group was the Vanja, which was the 200th vessel docked since the south yard started operating, less than three years ago. Total drydockings amounted to 153 ships with a gross deadweight of 9,055,557 tons. The largest vessel drydocked was the Esso Mercia of 171,000 dwt. Shipbuilding at the yards included one ocean-going trawler, 262 feet 6 inches long, and two ships for transporting liquefied petroleum gases, both with 86,520-cubic-feet capacity. Lisnave conducts a training program for ship-yard workers. A good portion of the 2,300 jobs created by the shipyard's expansion between 1964 and 1967 were filled by personnel so trained. At the present time, Lisnave is studying the advisability of building another drydock in the south yard which would be capable of handling ships up to 750,000 dwt. Also, expansion of shops and piers is underway so that the firm can increase its capacity. The managing directors credit the expansion of this ship-repairing facility from a fishing boat yard to a large repair yard on its ideal location with respect to the normal sealanes and to the cooperation received from the Port of Lisbon Authority. First Of Freedom-Class Ships Launched By Astilleros The first ship of the Freedom Hispania class ever built in Spain was recently launched at the Seville yards of Astilleros De Cadiz, S.A. This vessel was built for Atlantska Plovidba of Yugoslavia. Christened the Gundulic, the ship is the first in a series of vessels of this type which have been ordered from Astilleros by a consortium composed of Algoship International, Canadian Algonquin Maritime and Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries. A sistership is under con-struction for the same owner and three others of the class are on order for Chilean interests. The 471-foot 5-inch, 15,500-dwt Gundulic is designed to transport general and bulk cargoes. It features the essential characteristics of a bulk carrier with those of a closed shelter-deck vessel. However, the design envisaged its use for general cargo, vehicles and containers, also. The propulsion machinery is a Manises-Sulzer, 8,000-bhp, 6RD-68 deisel engine built at the Manises works of Astilleros. The majority of the other machinery components were also built at this plant. The launching was sponsored by Mrs. Neva de Zidaric, wife of the advisor to the Yugoslav Chamber of Commerce. Officiating at the cere-monies was O. Scharfhausen, naval comman-dant of Seville. Attending for the owners were S. Savin and D. J. Betner, general manager and general administrator, respectively. R. B. Men-dez, vice-president and managing director of Astilleros, and J. M. Marco Fayren, manager of the Seville yard, represented the builder. C. Brewer And Co. Acquires Kelso Marine Kelso Marine Inc., Galveston, Texas, has be-come a wholly-owned subsidiary of C. Brewer and Co., Honolulu, following closing of docu-ments providing for an exchange of stock, it was announced. Kelso Marine is engaged in the sale and distri-bution of concrete, sand, gravel and other build-ing materials along with the construction of barges and motor vessels. The company is ex-pected to begin construction shortly on a 16,000-ton barge for Ultramar Chemical Co., another Brewer division. The vessel will be used for the transportation of fertilizer products from the West Coast to Hawaii. March 1, 1969 45
