LA. 504 ? 822-7272 Navy Plans Research Ships To Lease To Universities The Navy has revealed tentative plans for the construction of six oceanographic ships which will be leased to oceanographic labora-tories, both private and university-owned, in the 1970s. Each vessel will be approximately 165 feet in length. Texas A&M University is expecting to receive the first two of the vessels?one in June 1971, and one in October 1972. Cost of the two ships, including equipment, is esti-mated at $2-million. In addition, one vessel is scheduled for each of the following: Scripps Institution of Ocean-ography, Lamont Geological Observatory, University of Hawaii, and Woods Hole Ocean-ographic Institution. Astilleros Awarded Contract For Two Grancolombiana Ships As a consequence of a successful competi-tive bidding between several international shipyards, Astilleros de Cadiz, S.A. has been awarded a contract to build two ships for Flota Mercante Grancolombiana, S.A. The contract was signed in Bogota, Colom-bia, by the director general of Grancolombiana, Dr. Alvaro Diaz, and by the vice-president and managing director of Astilleros de Cadiz, Engineer Roberto Berga Mendez. The main features of these two modern ships are as follows : overall length, 525 feet; breadth, 77 feet 5 inches; depth, 41 feet 8 inches; draft, 30 feet 6 inches; deadweight, 11,750 tons. They are equipped with refrigerated holds with 95,000-cubic-foot capacity, as well as holds for liquids with 35,000-cubic-foot capacity. These ships will have a speed of 21 knots with a range of 10,000 miles. The propulsion equipment will consist of a 16,000-hp type 8RND-76 Manises-Sulzer diesel engine. These modern ships will be totally auto-mated with electronic or remote-action con-trols. They will have a special hold for containers; one 75-ton boom, twelve 5- and 10-ton booms and four 15-ton cranes. The new ships will be built at the Sevilla Works of Astilleros de Cadiz, S.A. Baltimore Awards Container Crane Contract To Paceco The container systems division of Paceco has been awarded a contract to design and fabricate a container-handling crane by the Maryland Port Authority for installation at Dundalk Marine Terminal, Baltimore, Md. Scheduled for delivery in mid-1969, the crane will join another Paceco 'Portainer' that has been in service at Baltimore for Sea-Land Service since July 1967. The crane will be fabricated at Paceco plants at Alameda, Calif., and Savannah, Ga. Intended primarily for container-handling service, the new Portainer will also provide a unique heavy-lift capability for handling heavy machinery and general cargo. A Paceco pat-ented quick-change device permits changing from container-lifting spreaders to cargo beam in less than five minutes. Other world ports scheduled for installation of Paceco Portainers include Norfolk, Oak-land, Wilmington (Calif.), Genoa, Rotterdam, Guam, Sydney, Fremantle, Brisbane and Mel-bourne.
