Matson wanted the highest capacity in containerships.

B&W built the boilers to match. 38,800 tons. 719 feet long.

And capacity for 1,168 twenty four-foot containers.

That's Matson's new

Hawaiian Progress and

Hawaiian Enterprise, two of the world's largest container- ships.

And twin Babcock&

Wilcox boilers will drive each ofthem.aswell as four similar ships scheduled for later delivery. These boilers will deliver 95,000 pounds of steam per hour at 930 pounds per square inch pressure and 960 F. to achieve operating speeds of 23 knots.

An integral part of the boiler system is B&W's unique

Progress Burners, the highest capacity burners available.

They are so named because of their association with

Hawaiian Progress.

Designed for high reli- ability and low maintenance, each boiler-burner package provides more than 20-to-l turndown ratio. With no manual attention required.

Also helping to keep the two Hawaiians operating efficiently is automatic cleaning and sootblowing equipment from our Diamond

Power subsidiary.

But dependable steam power and boiler cleaning equipment are only part of

B&W's contribution to mari- time progress. Automated control systems and closed circuit TV monitoring are also among the B&W products that increase efficiency and cut costs.
