Star Iron & Steel Wins Taiwan

Container Crane Contract

Shown ot the contract signing, seated from left to right:

Andrew T.H. Wang, senior specialist and chief of section 3, purchasing department, Central Trust of China; C.C.

Shen, sub-manager, purchasing department, Central

Trust of China; P.D. Boyce, executive vice-president and general manager of Star Iron & Steel Co., and L.H.

Star Iron & Steel Co. Other officials of Central Trust of

China and Southeast Engineering Corporation look on.

Star Iron & Steel Co., Tacoma, Wash., re- cently signed a contract with the Central Trust of China purchasing department for the design, manufacture, delivery and erection of two Star- porter container handling cranes at the Port of Kaohsiung on Taiwan, Republic of China, according to Charles Allen, president of Star.

The Central Trust of China is the Government bank and procurement agency that is responsi- ble for the purchase of all equipment.

Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau will receive de- livery of the cranes approximately October 1971. They will be shipped from the United

States on August 15, 1971 and erected under the direction of Star upon arrival. Both cranes are scheduled for final turnover to the Kaohsi- ung Harbor Bureau approximately January 1972. Kaohsiung is one of two major port cities in Taiwan and is about the size of San Fran- cisco. It is located on the southwest end of the island.

The two cranes are identical and equipped to handle every existing type of container.

They also have some unique features not found on most cranes of their type. One is a special arrangement of hoists and spreaders that allows each crane to lift two 20-foot con- tainers simultaneously side by side. They are also capable of lifting individual standard con- tainers of 20, 30 and 40-feet in length, as well as 25-foot Matson type and 35-foot Sea Land type containers. Other special items are the tie-down devices to secure the cranes for ty- phoon conditions. The equipment will be de- signed and manufactured to United States standards. Portions of the work will be per- formed in Taiwan under subcontract to Star

Iron & Steel Co.

Both cranes will have a capacity of 45 tons and will be powered by an electrical conductor system from the dock. Hoist speeds will be 120 feet per minute with full load, and 240 feet per minute with spreader only. Trolley speeds will reach 500 feet per minute, while the gantry speed will be 120 feet per minute. The reach of the cranes will be 110 feet. The operating height will be 175 feet and 213 feet with the boom stowed.

The Southeast Engineering Corporation, managed by T.Y. Hu, is Star's Taiwan rep- resentative.
