The Dawn of A New Generation of Portainers®

MACH •A. 'Modular Automated Container Handling 'Patents applied for

Meeting the needs created by the arrival of super containerships and increasing port congestion.

Take a step into the future. MACH (Modular Automated Container Han- dling) is a step-by-step approach toward increasing Portainer per- formance by approximately fifty percent now and one hundred percent in the foreseeable future.

The basic MACH Portainer, with the

Sway Stop and High Speed Module, has provision for additional modules leading to full automation.

The MACH Portainer Module series includes: 1. Sway Stop and High Speed

Module (Basic MACH Portainer) 2. Trim, List and Skew Module 3. Underdeck Module 4. Full Automation Module

MACH Portainers assure you of: 1. Increased production and terminal throughput. 2. Lower cost per container handled now and even lower costs in the future as volume increases. 3. Capital equipment savings as volume increases. 4. Future automation at lowest cost with reduced risk of obsolescence. 5. Faster service for terminal customers.

When planning your next container crane, consider the new generation crane, don't buy a crane that is already obsolete.

Mobil Oil Orders

Three 26,500-Dwt

Tankers From Finland

The first Mobil Oil Corporation tankers to be built in Finland—and the largest ever built in that country —have been ordered from Rauma-

Repola Oy shipyards by Mobil Tank- ers Company (Liberia) Limited.

The contract calls for delivery of three 26,500-deadweight-ton tankers in 1974. In financial terms, the order is believed to be the largest placed with a Finnish shipyard.

The vessels will carry refined pe- troleum products from Mobil refin- eries to distribution points around the world. Heavy fuel oil and crude movements are also possible because double-bottoms under the center tanks permit structural stiffeners to be built on the outside surfaces of the tanks.

This feature, coupled with epoxy coatings on piping and interior tank surfaces, will enable crews to remove all traces of fuel or crude oil from the tanks in a few hours to ready them for the next cargo.

The vessels will be 560 feet long and 85 feet wide and will be powered by 12,000-bhp diesel engines.
