Port Of Montreal

Plans Improvement

Of Container Facilities

The second largest container port on the East Coast, the Port of Mon- treal, recently announced long-term plans to develop new container fa- cilities on the outskirts of Mon- treal.

According to port officials, the new facilities would be located on the St. Lawrence River at Contre- coeur, about 25 miles from Mon- treal. The projected cost for a three- berth container terminal would ini- tially cost about $C40 million. The 300-acre site is expected to be devel- oped within three to five years.

Since 1927 WALTFH keel coolers

ECONOMICAL & COMPLETELY RELIABLE 3 Models to choose from; 2 with only 1 thru-hull fitting; greater flexibility in installation, reduces time and costs.

BETTER MATERIALS! Bronze fittings, monel fastenings, 70% Cu-30%

Ni Turbo Tube—stronger & more corrosion resistant than 90-10.

Grooved Turbo Tube design gives more heat exchange than smooth, round or rectangular tubing. Consequently, a shorter cooler is required.

SPIRAL GROOVES

MAXIMIZE HEAT f

TURBO TUBE TRANSFER

BETTER DESIGN! Aircraft-type flexible double o-ring construction, proven for over 35 years, eliminates problem of cracked brazed joints & expensive repair. Tubes can twist axially & longi^ tudinally to conform to hull curvature.

L Can be recessed into hull I

Streamlined design, unlike bulky box-type coolers, detachable in minutes without disturbing inboard plumbing.

BETTER ENGINEERING! 50 years of experience allows us to publish over 700 computer-aided recommendations; hundreds more in our files. Complete line of models & sizes always in stock ensures fast delivery to cool any propulsion & generator engine, transmission, aftercooler & intercooler. w

BACK IN ACTION—The Aegis guided-missile frigate USS Stark (FFG- 31) has rejoined the U.S. Atlantic Fleet following a 10-month restoration completed by the Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton Industries, Pasca- goula, Miss. The frigate had sustained heavy damage in the spring of last year when she was struck by two Exocet missiles fired by an Iraqi jet in the

Persian Gulf. The original estimates to repair the damage were sent at around $142 million, but the Navy and Ingalls reportedly were able to hold costs under $90 million.

Cummins-Powered Crewboat

Being Built At Matsumo Yard

For Esso Resource Canada

An unusual crewboat for ferrying oil field workers across the Macken- zie River in Canada's Northwest

Territories is nearing completion at

Matsumoto Shipyard, Ltd., on the

Dollarton waterfront of North Van- couver, British Columbia, for Esso

Resources Canada Ltd. of Calgary,

Alberta.

The 39-foot aluminum boat, named the R.W. MacKinnon, is un- usual in several respects: power is provided by a pair of Cummins 6BTA5.9-M diesel engines, propul- sion is furnished by Parker waterjet units manufactured in England, and equipment includes a bow ramp for transferring passengers directly to and from the river's sandy shores.

Designed for shallow water use, the 13-foot-beam 20,000-pound (fully outfitted) personnel carrier— capable of carrying 16 passengers— will be nosed onto the beach for rap- idly accommodating drilling, con- struction and field operation per- sonnel being shuttled between the mainland and artificial and natural islands where the wells are located.

The Cummins new 6BTA5.9-M diesel engine is a turbocharged, af- tercooled engine of an in-line, six- cylinder configuration that weighs only 1,250 pounds with marine gear.

The engine develops 220 horsepow- er at 2,500 rpm. Minimal weight and high horsepower were needed in this type of boat to achieve the 20 knots specified for performance.

Esso's new crewboat R.W. MacK- innon will be one of the last boats emerging from the yard. At the age of 70, Isami (Sam) Matsumoto

Isamu Matsumoto stands near the 39-foot

Cummins-powered crewboat R.W. MacKin- non just prior to its completion. Mr. Matsu- moto is retiring after 40 years of boatbuild- ing in the same location. is retiring after building boats at the same location for four decades
