Mr. Ternes comes to MGA from

Hydronautics, Incorporated, where he served as assistant research scientist. In that position, he was engaged in numerous studies and tests of resistance and powering of ships utilizing the company's model testing basin. That work covered such technical areas as improving the controllability of tankships, maneuvering tests of cable layers, seakeeping charac- teristics of containerships, resist- ance of planing hulls, and many similar investigations, which re- sulted in valuable technical re- ports to clients.

HUD Moves Head Office

To Tsing Yi Island—

Kowloon Yard Closed

A recent occupant of HUD's 100,000-ton floating dock Chung Shan was 92,000-dwt tanker, owned by Guangzhow Ocean Ship- ping, an example of what the yard can handle.

The headquarters office of Hong- kong United Dockyards Ltd. (HUD) recently moved to Tsing

Yi Island, where its new yard is now in full operation and where plans for the second phase of ex- pansion have been made.

The recent drydocking of the passenger/cargo vessel Shanghai, owned by Xing Hai Company of

Shanghai, was the last vessel to be repaired at the 115-year-old

Kowloon Yard, and marked the

The combination of Gaz/Transport and McDonnell Douglas liquefied natural gas barriers into a single containment sys- tem now offers shippers a new high level of volumetric efficiency and excellence in hull protection—at a competitive price.

Each partner contributed 15 years of experience in cryogenic containment to the project.

A proven system, the

Invar metal primary bar- rier, has accumulated 1.7 million sea miles through 1978. The reinforced in- sulation used as a second- ary barrier has been tested for a 20-year service life as a primary barrier.

The system is approved by the U.S. Coast

Guard and classification societies world- wide. It has been selected by Sun Shipbuild- ing for two 130,000 cubic meter tankers for delivery to Pacific Marine Associates.

The resources of the company have now entered a new phase, for at Tsing Yi, HUD's drydock capacity is far greater than in the old graving docks that stood for so long at the Kowloon Yard.

The addition of the 100,000-ton floating dock Chung Shan, along with the Panamax-sized dock

Whampoa and the 25,000-ton

Taikoo, puts HUD's facilities at

Tsing Yi Island second to none in the region, says commercial manager Frank Mackinnon. "The 92,000-dwt tanker Chaohu of Guangzhow Ocean Shipping

Company, which was docked re- cently in the Chung Shan dock, is an indication of the type of ves- sels to be expected in the future,"

Mr. Mackinnon said.

Commenting on the Kowloon

Yard closure, HUD managing di- rector David Hall said: "Our his- torical links with the Kowloon

Yard are very strong, and the closure will be a landmark in the history and development of HUD, but we are convinced that our major investment in the new yard at Tsing Yi will ensure the fu- ture growth of HUD and Hong

Kong's ship repair industry."

Secondary barrier insulation is produced on this 82-meter line, at rates of one meter per minute.

The logs of polyurethane foam insulation are reinforced in three dimensions with strands of glass fiber.

Two proven systems combine to bring a new level of excellence to LNG containment.
