Prudential-Grace and Pacific Far East wanted ships that could keep on the go.

B&W built the boilers to match.

With lighters-aboard-ship,

LASH cargo vesselswill spend a lot less time in port, a lot more time at sea. So they'll need a lot of constant, dependable power.

Which is why eleven new

LASH ships being built at

Avondale shipyards —six for

Pacific Far East Lines, five for Prudential-Grace Lines- have boilers from Babcock & Wilcox and sootblowers from Diamond Power, a B&W subsidiary.

Designed by the firm of

Friede & Goldman, each ship will have a two-drum B&W boiler that will deliver 108,000 pounds of steam per hour at 870 pounds per square inch pressure and 955 F. This gives these 772 foot long vessels a rating of 32,000 shaft horsepower and an operating speed of 22.5 knots.

B&W meets the demands of modern maritime applications in other ways, too. For example, automated control and closed circuit TV monitoring systems.

So, no matter what your ship needs-dependable, efficient power; precise, automated equipment or rugged, reliable monitoring -B&W will build to match.
