NORMAN W0LFS0N MARINE SURVEYOR Consultant - Appraiser Area Code: 305 Phone: 523-1952 Matson Navigation To Spend Nearly $4-Million To Improve Container Carrying Capacity Matson Navigation Company, San Francisco, will spend nearly $4-million for container freight service improvements and additions to meet the increasing needs of Pacific trade, it was announced by Norman Scott, executive vice-president. The company's board has authorized $3,855,-300 for new containers, trailers, equipment, and vessel alterations to increase container carrying capacity, Mr. Scott said. This is in addition to nearly $3-million spent last year for containers and vessel modifications to pro-vide more container capacity. The continued expansion program is needed, Mr. Scott said, "to accommodate projected growth trends and to meet the continuing surge of cargo from West Coast ports." Matson's latest plans call for 11 new strad-dle-carriers, modification of five Hawaii vessels to provide additional space for a total of 400 containers a month, stainless steel tank con-tainers for the Far East service and improve-ment of the Honolulu refrigerated container maintenance facility. Eight of the new straddle-carriers will be used in West Coast ports, the rest in Hawaii. The ships to be modified for extra capacity are the Hawaiian Queen, Hawaiian Monarch, Californian, Hawaiian and one of the com-pany's C-3 type freighters. B&W Boilers To Provide Steam For Most Powerful Cargo Ships Babcock & Wilcox will design and manu-facture the boilers for the most powerful cargo ships ever built. Under a contract award valued at approxi-mately $1.5-million from General Dynamics (Quincy) shipyard, a pair of B&W boilers will power each of three 36,000-shp ships being built for Lykes Brothers Steamship Company. Each new boiler will produce 123,050 pounds of steam per hour at 875 psig and 955°F. In port, power from the boilers will drive a submersible freight elevator at the ship's stern. Rated at 2,000 tons, the world's heaviest lift capacity ashore or afloat, the elevator is tb_e key to a new concept in ocean cargo trans-portation. The 'sea barge clippers,' designed by the J.J. Henry Co., Inc., can carry 38 loaded barges, each almost 100 feet long. By lifting or launching the barges two at a time on the elevator, the 44,300-ton ship will take on or discharge a full cargo in 13 hours?15 times faster than most present-day cargo carriers. The new vessels are expected to enter service in 1971. V-16 Diesel Engine Chocked With PR610TC Compound Workman pours resin chocks under 6,150-hp diesel Chocks for a 251,000-pound V-16 Enterprise diesel engine recently installed on the T.L. James BT-100 hydraulic dredge, were cast with PR610TC chocking compound. Lower instal-lation cost, better alignment, reduced vibration and high impact and compressive strength are the main features given by the manufacturer for this chocking method. Considerable time and expense is saved because tedious machin-ing of metal chocks is eliminated. The chocking resin, designated as PR610TC and supplied by Philadelphia Resins Corp., was poured into dams constructed of neoprene and sheet metal strip. The engine was previ-ously leveled with jacking bolts. The two areas to be chocked were each 14 inches by 216 inches divided into eight chocks of approx-imately equal length and averaging inches in thickness. Damming time required 16 man-hours and mixing and pouring took 30 man-hours. The PR610TC system provides a 100 per-cent contact liquid level chock that resists chemical action, will not shrink or burn, and can be machined if required. The compound hardens in 4 to 8 hours depending on ambient temperature, dams are removed, and the machinery is ready for use. This epoxy chock casting system has found wide use and acceptance, not only for marine engines, machinery and equipment, but also in indus-trial applications for chocking stamping press-es, lathes, milling machines, large motors and other equipment.
