YAMATAKA MARU

Hitachi Zosen

The Yamataka Maru, a 38,217- dwt ultra-rationalized, high-speed and large-sized containership was delivered during the fall of last year by Hitachi Zosen's Innoshima

Works to its owner, Yamashita-

Shinnihon Steamship Co., Ltd., of

Japan.

The advanced containership, which carries 2,500 TEU containers (stacked three high on the deck, with 236 refrigerated containers), is capable of carrying automobiles and hazardous cargo such as radioactive substances in containers.

The Yamataka Maru is equipped with an automatic radar plotting aid and various automatic navigational equipment for energy and manpow- er savings. She also has a bulbous bow to decrease fuel consumption and a stern bulb to reduce hull vibration.

The 42,145-gt vessel has an over- all length of 754 feet, depth of 71 feet and breadth of 106 feet. She is powered by a Hitachi Zosen-MAN

B&W 9K80MC diesel engine rated at 32,300 hp at 91 rpm. Her trial speed was over 25 knots.

REMOTE VALVE ACTUATION

MADE IMPLE ...AND RELIABLE

Teleflex-RMVA is based on a simple tension-tension, closed-loop actuating concept. Helical cable, operating in a conduit, converts rotary to linear motion and then back to rotary. ...AND COST

EFFECTIVE

RMVA can reduce your material, installation, maintenance and life- cycle costs. Savings are compared with complex reach rod installations. ...AND EASY

TO MAINTAIN

RMVA is virtually trouble-free, due to design simplicity. No periodic maintenance. Shock and vibration resistant. Highly survivable.

RMVA uses materials and SermeTel coatings which are extremely corrosion-resistant. All moving parts operate in a sealed environment.

The Teleflex Remote Mechanical Valve

Actuator (RMVA) has proven its dependability in cruel environments aboard naval vessels.

Specify RMVA by Teleflex. It's simple. It works.
