Three New Ships To Carry 70% Of Container Trade

New Zealand To Britain

Three 42,000-ton containerships have been ordered from Bremer

Vulkan in West Germany for a new round-the-world service which will carry about 70 percent of all the New Zealand-Britain container trade, according to

Auckland reports. One of the three new sister ships will be ac- quired by the Government-owned

New Zealand Shipping Corp., and the other two by partners in the service — P&O Line and Shaw

Savill. Delivery dates are sched- uled for 1977 and 1978.

The ships will be larger than the biggest containerships now in the New Zealand trade. Each will be able to carry 1,225 re- frigerated containers and 189 general cargo containers, and will cruise at 21 knots.

The three new ships will sail regularly from Britain via Suez and Australia to New Zealand and return via Panama. This will sup- plement a service by the six 26,750-ton Overseas Containers

Ltd. Bay-class ships now in the

Australia-Europe trade which, it is planned, will sail to New

Zealand via Panama and return to Britain via Australia and Suez.

This arrangement will provide both New Zealand and Australia with direct sailings to Britain in each direction.

In a joint statement, P&O Line and Shaw Savill said a substantial expansion of New Zealand con- tainer terminals would be needed before the new ships enter serv- ice.

Subsidy Bids Filed For

Six Tankers To Be Built

At Cost Of $240 Million

Applications for subsidy for some $240 million worth of tank- ers have been filed with the

Maritime Subsidy Board by three companies headed by shipping executive Leo V. Berger.

The companies are Athena Ma- rine Shipping Co., Ajax Marine

Shipping Co., and Achilles Ma- rine Shipping Co., all of (410

Lakeville Road) Lake Success,

N.Y. Mr. Berger is listed as pres- ident and director of each com- pany.

The six tankers planned were intended to be built and operated with subsidy in various trades, including the Caribbean, U.S.

Atlantic and Gulf, Africa, North

Europe, and Canada.

The application estimated the cost of building the vessels at $40.6 million each, with operating subsidy calculated at $750,000 a year per ship.

There's a better way to handle some engine room jobs.

With Kockums Combustion Control.

With all due respect to the engine room professionals, some of their jobs should be taken away from them. Frankly, we don't think there'll be any complaints.

We're talking about combustion control, the exacting tasks of setting air and fuel supply in precise accordance with steam demand, in order to optimize com- bustion efficiency.

We suggest you let Kockums

Combustion Control take over.

Have the job done electronically.

Automatically. Fast and accurately.

Second by second. All day, all night.

The complete KCC consists of a central electronic controller and accessories; these include trans- mitters, pneumatically operated control valves and air damper control devices.

The system maintains the steam pressure within very close tole- rances even during rapid load changes.

This is accomplished by adjusting the fuel oil supply to match the steam output. The forced draught is then adjusted to give good combus- tion. The electronic circuitry is designed to ensure a suitable amount of excess air even during load increases and/or decreases.

Inputs for bridge control signals (load anticipation) and main engine trip are provided for main boiler systems. If required, a flue gas analyzer can be connected to the central unit; this provides auto- matic fuel/air ratio control for minimum excess air.

Feed water control can be included.

This is a two-element system; water level and mass are the inputs.

The water mass (The amount of water) in the tubes is a good indi- | cator of the boiler load. This system j has been in use for many years and c is simple and reliable. « The KCC is available in two basic models, Mk3 for oil-fired and Mk4 for dual-fuel fired boilers. There are several versions of these models to suit variations in boiler lay-out.

The system is compact and easy to install and handle. It can be operat- ed by engine room personnel with- out extensive training.

The KCC is built with integrated circuits for maximum safety and reliability. The central electronic unit contains all main parts; it is factory assembled in a cabinet in- tended for flush mounting in the
