Awards Contract For

Six PACECO Cranes

A contract for six shipboard con- tainer handling cranes of new de- sign has been awarded PACECO, a division of Fruehauf Corporation,

Alameda, Calif., by "K" Line of

Japan.

The 30-ton capacity cranes will be installed aboard three modified containerships to be used in "K"

Line's new container service be- tween the United States and South- east Asia. Each ship will be equip- ped with two PACECO Shipstain- er cranes—one forward, and one aft, to load and unload containers.

The vessels will have a capacity of 300 forty-foot containers, which the Shipstainers can load and un- load at an average rate of 32 per hour. In terms of tons, the cranes will handle 800 to 900 long tons of containerized cargo per hour.

Cantilevers, on each side of the cranes, have an outreach of 23 feet to enable ship loading and unload- ing onto the pier from either side of the ship. When the ship puts out to sea, cantilevers are folded within the crane's gantry frame for compact stowage.

The cranes are designed to stack containers two-high on the top deck of the ship and will operate on ship's power, utilizing DC vari- able voltage for smooth, position container spotting. "K" Line's new container serv- ice, which will start in October of this year, will have direct calls be- tween Seattle, Wash., Long Beach,

Calif., Keelung, Hong Kong, and

Pusan. Sailings are scheduled for every 15 days.
