Star Iron & Steel builds cranes and special- ized cargo handling equipment for container terminals, feeder ports, mini ship, lash and seabee lighter cargo facilities. In fact, during the past 55 plus years that we've been build- ing cargo handling systems, we've learned some valuable lessons that can help you in your installation. Why? Take the Port of

Everett, Washington, as an example. Our engineering know-how saved the Port several million dollars with a design that better utilized their existing pier facilities. Maybe that's why we now have 22 Starporters in service or on order all over the world. 40-Ton Container and General Cargo

Smooth sailing begins with corrosion con- trol, and CONSOL rust-kill systems have been 48 years before the mast, with the toughest protective undercoatings, pene- trating primers, and finish colors. CON-

SOL CLEAR is the conditioner that works while you work — continually loosening accumulated rust and scale, preventing further corrosion. It leaves the surface ready for application of

CONSOL STANDARD COLORS. CON-

SOL RED PENETRATING PRIMER is equally effective on brand new steel or rusted surfaces without sand- blasting; it has a unique moisture- displacing vehicle, so you can ap- ply it to damp metal. And brilliant

CONSOL COATINGS are the tech- nologically-developed products that will give you the sparkling, durable edge afloat or ashore.
