New Brochure Explaining

Combustion Catalysts

Available From Ferrous

Ferrous Corporation, manufac- turer of combustion catalysts for marine diesels and boilers, has recently prepared a brochure ex- plaining the factors that affect combustion performance, and how to achieve maximum efficiency.

The full-color, six-page bro- chure explains the causes of poor fuel economy, soot, slag, acid cor- rosion, and carbon build-up. It explains the combustion process itself, and how a catalyst can be successfully applied to improve efficiency.

The brochure also contains a bibliography of technical bulle- tins readers can obtain to learn more about combustion efficiency and related subjects.

To obtain a copy of the bro- chure, write to K. Chorlton, Dept.

MarAd Study Reports $9.8 Billion Needed

To Expand U.S. Ports

A new study by the Maritime

Administration estimates that construction costs to increase deepwater cargo-handling facili- ties at American ports will ex- ceed $5 billion in this decade.

Growth of the nation's water- borne commerce, the report says, will require construction of near- ly 250 new marine terminal berths by 1990.

The report, "National Port As- sessment 1980/1990," also pro- jects the need for nearly 500 new or upgraded riverport facilities in 17 mid-America states at an esti- mated cost of $4.8 billion.

The assessment discusses the 10-year requirements of seaport and riverport terminals by com- paring their current cargo-han- dling capacity with projections for the end of this decade. Ter- minal requirements by major coastal regions also are included.

Some 45 percent of the esti- mated deepwater requirements is expected to consist of container terminal facilities; about 25 per- cent of dry-bulk cargo berths; about 19 percent of liquid-bulk facilities; and 11 percent of break- bulk handling facilities.

Most of the U.S. riverport in- dustry is located from the Cen- tral Gulf Coast north through the Ohio River basin. This re- gional system comprises nearly 1,200 water terminals providing more than 1,800 barge berthing facilities serving 26 rivers and waterways.

The study also discusses the distribution of existing port fa- cilities by state and size, and identifies typical marine terminal construction and operating costs.

Two national and 13 regional maps are included, showing ma- jor ports and waterways.

Copies of the 127-page report are available from the Superin- tendent of Documents, U.S. Gov- ernment Printing Office, Wash- ington, D.C. 20402. The order number is 003-007-0010.
