According to Dr. Manfred von zur Muehlen, an official of the Society for the Application of Nuclear Energy in Shipbuilding and Ship-ping of Hamburg, the plans for the ship are scheduled to be submitted to the West Ger-man government this summer. Government authorities, he said, will be asked to grant the ore-oil carrier project offi-cial recognition and subsequent development support. Government subsidies are available, he said, either to cover the higher construction costs for an initial nuclear powerplant or to under-write the operating costs in exchange for the availability of nuclear ship propulsion plants. Dr. von zur Muehlen added that his organ-ization was also working on the development of nuclear containerships. The West German nuclear expert also noted that economic studies recently undertaken by his company had established that under cer-tain circumstances nuclear ship powerplants in the range of 40.000 to 50,000 shp showed promise of economic superiority over conven-tionally fueled plants of similar output. West Germany already has a nuclear-pow-ered merchant ship, the Otto Hahn. This sec-ond ship is based on experience gained from the design and construction of the Otto Hahn. Jersey Standard Promotes Moore And Doores To Logistics, Transport Posts Thomas W. Moore Jack H. Doores Thomas W. Moore has been appointed worldwide logistics coordinator of Standard Oil Company (New Jersey). He succeeds Ro-bert H. Milbrath, who was recently elected a vice-president and director of the company. At the same time, it was announced that Jack H. Doores had been appointed manager, logistics planning for Jersey Standard, suc-ceeding Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore was graduated from the Univer-sity of Kentucky where he received a bachelor of science degree in industrial chemistry and a master's degree in physical chemistry. He also received a master's degree in chemical engi-neering from the University of Michigan in 1934, the year he joined Esso Standard Oil Company as an engineer at the Bayway refin-ery in New Jersey. Esso Standard is now a part of Humble Oil & Refining Company, Jer-sey Standard's principal domestic affiliate. Mr. Moore held various positions with Esso Standard and with the coordination and plan-ning department of Jersey Standard prior to his election as a director in 1957 and a vice-president in 1958 of Esso International Inc. He rejoined Esso Standard in 1959 as a di-rector and vice-president and, the following year, was named a vice-president of Humble. In 1963 he returned to Esso International as senior vice-president and director and was elected an executive vice-president of that company in 1966. He was appointed Jersey Standard transportation coordinator in 1967 and manager, logistics planning in 1968. Mr. Doores was most recently a vice-presi-dent and director of Esso International. Mr. Doores received a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Iowa State Univer-sity. He joined Esso Standard in 1944 at the Baton Rouge refinery in Louisiana. He held a variety of engineering and supervisory posi-tions there until moving to New York in 1953 as a member of Jersey Standard's coordination and petroleum economics department. In 1957 he became head of the department's coordination division and in 1959 was named a vice-president and general manager of the sup-ply and transportation department of Esso In-ternational. In 1962 he transferred to London as senior eastern hemisphere advisor for Esso International and in 1964 was named a vice-president and general manager of that com-pany. He was elected a vice-president and director of Esso Standard Eastern, Inc., Jersey Stand-ard's Far East regional affiliate, in 1965 and returned to Esso International as a vice-presi-dent and director last year. International Tug Conference To Be Held In England The first International Tug Conference will be held at Teddington, England, from October 7 to 9, 1969 according to an announcement by Ship and Boat International, 39 St. Andrew's Hill, London EC4. Representatives from more than ten maritime nations have already registered for the conference which will cover the manufacture of marine equipment, the shipyard, naval archi-tecture, research institutes, tug owners and mas-ters, and the owners of large vessels that use tugs. A lOO-TON BLISTER is positioned for welding to the hull of the tanker Manhattan at Newport News Ship-building and Dry Dock Company. The assembly is one of 22 installed on a 122-foot section of the ship. The blisters are designed to reinforce the Manhattan's hull for the ship's voyage for Humble Oil and Refining Com-pany through the Northwest Passage ice fields this sum-mer. The section at Newport News was cut away from the 940-foot Manhattan just aft of the bow at Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Chester, Pa., and towed to the Virginia shipyard last March. In a final step, it will be towed back to Sun and welded to its original lo-cation on the Manhattan. Sun holds the prime contract to winterize the ship for the voyage and two other ship-yards are also sharing in the project. 50 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
