AT LOCKHEED

Fast repairs are in the cards, because we work 24 hours a day, using three shifts if necessary, to get your vessel repaired fast, but good! We also have three floating drydocks to 18,000 tons, plus plenty of pier space which gives us room to ma- neuver! And we have special equipment and special skills to make our workers more efficient.

So you could say the docks are stacked in your favor at Lockheed, couldn't you? Or would you? Anyhow, we're busy because we deliver—on time, on target, on the money. We're never too busy to handle your ship when it comes in. So toss us a hawser — we will tie you up for the least possible time. LOCKHEED

Israeli Port Projects

To Cost $100 Million

The Israeli Government has approved close to $100 million in expenditures allocated for the expansion of cargo handling ca- pacity at two ports.

Nearly $84 million has been appropriated for a four-to-five- year project at Ashdod Port on the Mediterranean, where plans include the construction of a sec- ond containership pier, a phos- phate pier, grain silo and ware- house, and renewal of existing equipment.

The Government has also given the go-ahead to the building of a container pier at the Red Sea port of Eilat.

Estimated cost of that project is about $14,300,000. Still on the drawing boards are plans to in- crease by 3i/2 times the capacity of the Port of Gaza. In order to raise the annual tonnage capabil- ity at the shallow-water port from 200,000 to 700,000 tons, designers are contemplating the construc- tion of a mile and a half long pier which would facilitate deepwater loading and unloading of much larger vessels than the port can currently handle.

According to a French firm which studies the idea, the cost of the project should come to no more than $12 million.
