Propellers, Inc. Supplying C-P Propellers And Thrusters For Great Lakes Ore Carrier Propellers, Inc., Hoboken, N.J., has been named prime contractor to supply two control-lable pitch propellers and bow and stern thrusters for a 1,000-foot Great Lakes ore car-rier under construction by Litton Industries. The propellers, 18 feet in diameter, were de-signed by Escher Wyss of Ravensburg, West Germany, and will be manufactured by Avon-dale Shipyards of New Orleans, La. The four thrusters are the LMG "Tornado" design and are also being manufactured by Avondale. Powered by four 3,500-hp diesel engines, the giant carrier was designed by Litton Indus-tries' Marine Consultants and Designers of Cleveland, Ohio. Two Litton shipbuilding di-visions?the Ingalls Shipbuilding division of Pascagoula, Miss, and Erie Marine division of Erie, Pa.?are teaming up to produce the car-rier for Bethlehem Steel Corporation. In Pascagoula, Ingalls is constructing the ship's 182-foot bow-stern section, scheduled for completion in the spring of 1970. When com-plete, the section will sail under its own power to Erie where it will be assembled to an 818-foot mid-body section under construction by Erie Marine. The new ore carrier will be the largest ship ever built for operation on the Great Lakes. It will be capable of transporting 52,300 gross tons of iron ore pellets, and will be equipped with the most advanced systems for cargo han-dling.
