When naval architects and engi- neers assign a complete schedule of marine joiner doors and frames to one manufacturer, they centralize respon- sibility for design and quality of construction. They also gain better supervision of production to assure co- ordinated, on-time deliveries.

Marine Moisture

Awarded Contract

By Sun Shipbuilding

The Marine Moisture Control Co.,

Inc., of Inwood, N.Y., has been awarded a contract by Sun Ship- building Company of Chester, Pa., for the design and installation of a complete, fully automated, remote- control hydraulic valve liquid-cargo- handling system for their Hull No. 657, which is a 125,000-dwt crude oil tanker. This tanker is being built for The Mobil Shipping & Trans- portation Company.

This MMC remote-controlled hy- draulic valve system was developed and perfected by rigorous testing un- der the most adverse conditions by

MMC's staff of engineers. The sys- tem requires little maintenance be- cause it has a minimum of moving components. Delivery to The Mobil

Shipping & Transportation Company is scheduled for 1972.

Hull Aluminum Studied

For Larger High Speed

Surface Effect Ships

The Materials Department, Naval

Ship Research and Development Cen- ter, Annapolis, Md., has begun a one- year detailed study of the corrosion fatigue properties of two aluminum alloys presently used in hulls of two 100-ton prototype surface effect ships.

The program is being conducted for the Naval Surface Effect Ships

Project, which was formerly the

Joint Surface Effect Ships Program

Office. Studies will be conducted on plain and welded samples of 5000

Series Aluminum which have good resistance to corrosion and stress cor- rosion in seawater.

The information obtained from these studies will be correlated for use in designing larger and more re- liable high speed surface effect ships.

This information will also contribute to the capability of building faster small craft.

Norwegian Firm Orders

Tanker From Mitsui

The Thor Dahl Co. of Norway has ordered a tanker of 280,000 dead- weight tons from the Mitsui Ship- building Co., according to reports from Tokyo.

Delivery of the new vessel is sched- uled for the fall of 1973. f GRAFTON Workboats. the River Hard Hats! title company address city zip
