Devoy Named Port Director —Port Of Galveston
C. S. Devoy was named port director of the
Port of Galveston and general manager of the
Galveston Wharves, operating agency of the
Port, at a recent meeting of the board of trus- tees, governing body of the municipally-own- ed port facility.
Mr. Devoy signed a new three-year contract as chief executive and operating officer of the
Port, effective July 1, 1969. He originally came to Galveston as general manager on July 1, 1963. He is also president of the Gulf Ports
Association.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Mr.
Devoy was traffic manager for Lykes Brothers
Steamship Company in Galveston when he joined the Port of New York Authority in 1957 to establish its sales office for Europe in Lon- don.
Under Mr. Devoy's leadership, the Port of
Galveston has carried out successfully a cam- paign to attract diversified cargo; was the first
American port to offer reduced charges on handling pre-palletized commodities; has in- creased its imports; doubled its sales efforts; established several new industries along the waterfront, and embarked on an ambitious plan for handling containerized cargo and ves- sels centered around four piers in Galveston's east end.
Contract Formally Concluded
For 372,400-DWT Tanker
A contract for a 372,400-dwt tanker, the largest in the world, has been formally con- cluded between IHI (Ishikawajima-Harima
Heavy Industries Co., Ltd.) and the Tokyo
Tanker Company, Japan.
Among people attending the signing cere- mony held at the Tokyo Prince Hotel were
Toshiwo Doko and Renzo Taguchi, chairman and president of IHI, respectively; Haruya
Horikoshi and Gengo Tsuboi, president and vice-president of Tokyo Tanker Company;
Eisuke Kamimura, president of Nippon Oil
Co., Ltd.; Awashi Jyochi, president of Kowa
Oil Co., and S. E. Van Norstrand, president of Caltex Oil (Japan) Ltd.
The contract price is approximately $25.72- million. The keel of the world's largest ship- to-be will be laid in a 400,000-ton capacity building dock at IHI's Kure Shipyard towards the end of 1970. Her completion is scheduled for November, 1971. After delivery, she will carry crude oil from the Persian Gulf to the
Nippon Oil Group's Central Terminal Station (an oil storage complex) now under construc- tion at Kiire in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
The mammoth tanker will have the follow- ing dimensions: length overall—1,133 feet 7 inches, length between perpendiculars—1,082 feet 9 inches, beam—178 feet 10 inches, depth — 114 feet 10 inches, and draft—88 feet 7 inches. It will be propelled by an IHI steam turbine developing 40,000 shp. The speed has been given as 15 knots.
G.E. Awarded Contract
To Develop Sewage Plant
General Electric's Re-entry Systems organ- ization in Philadelphia, Pa., has been awarded a $228,000 contract to develop an on-board watercraft waste treatment plant.
The Federal Water Pollution Control Ad- ministration is funding the work as a step to- ward eliminating a source of pollution in har- bors and waterways. The contract calls for de- velopment of a prototype waste treatment sys- tem and the testing of the system aboard ship.
The work may eventually extend to a land- based application. 36 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
