Rotterdam, Tokyo and Kobe are the home ports for three bulk-delivery barges newly put into service by the Esso companies. The Esso Nederland 50 began making direct deliveries into ships' lube tanks in Rotterdam harbor in July. The barge has ten tanks, six of them heated, and a total bulk capacity of 26,-400 U.S. gallons. Each of her two pumps can deliver product at the rate of 7,900 gallons an hour. The 9-knot vessel also has storage space for 80 drums (4,400 U.S. gallons) of lubricants. The Esso Tokyo Maru has a bulk capacity of 14,300 U.S. gallons. The barge serves ports throughout Tokyo Bay, including Kawasaki, Uraga, Yokohama, Yokosuka, and Tokyo it-self. The new Esso Kobe Maru can carry 18,500 U.S. gallons in bulk. Amagasaki, Hirohata, Kobe, Kure, Mizushima, Osaka and Wakaya-ma are among the Osaka Bay and Seto Inland Sea ports served by the Esso Kobe Maru. Each of the Japanese barges has five tanks, a pump-ing rate ranging from 3.100 to 6,600 gallons an hour, and hold space for 25 drums (1,375 U.S. gallons). Announcement also has been made of the ac-quisition of tank trucks to deliver Essomarine lubricants in bulk at Lisbon, Portugal and at Los Angeles (Long Beach and San Pedro) and San Diego on the U.S. West Coast. The Esso companies deliver product from barges or tank trucks at well over 100 ports. Nearly half of all Essomarine lubes are now delivered in this way. Esso Tokyo Maru serves ports in Tokyo Bay area. E.J. Flynn Heads Pacific Maritime Assoc. Edmund J.
