USCG Approves

C.E.A. Marine Solid

Waste Compactor

Combustion Equipment Associates of New York have announced the introduction of their Hydra Pack

Mark III Solid Waste Compactor to the marine field. Originally designed as a commercial unit for stationary service, it has now received U.S.

Coast Guard approval for use aboard ship. The Mark III is the smallest unit that they manufacture. It has the capability of handling all the solid waste, galley, and otherwise, in a vessel carrying a crew of 40 or more in one compacted slug of cubic feet weighing approximately 50 pounds. On this basis, only one com- pacted slug per day will be produced.

It is generally conceded that each man will generate approximately one pound of solid waste per day.

The unit consists of two parts: namely, the compactor itself and secondly, a hydraulic power unit complete with 3-horsepower motor, pump, solenoid valve, and hydraulic tank. The power unit generates 1,500 psi producing a four-to-one compac- tion ratio.

The compacted slug is stored in a 10-gallon (approximately ZJ/2 cubic feet) plastic bag of 4-mil thickness for off-loading in port.

Combustion Equipment Associates

Inc. is located at 555 Madison Ave- nue, New York, N.Y. 10022.

IN 12 MONTHS WE MADE THE BALTIMORE TRADER

TWICE THE SHIP SHE WAS.

June 25, 1971. It was a great day. The

Baltimore Trader sailed out of Newport t News Shipbuilding 28,786 dwt larger, 196 feet longer, 24 feet wider and eight feet deeper.

It was our twenty-seventh jumboizing job. By the people who coined the word "jumboizing."

The Baltimore Trader is the largest job of its ki nd we've done so far. Cargo capacity was increased to 460,000 barrels. More than double the original capacity. A record.

And we built the forebody and joined it to the stern faster than our estimate. Another new record for speed.

But then, that's why we're known as the fast ones. Fast in any type of conversion. And fast in any type of ship repair. Even emer- gency work. As well as routine voyage repairs and overhauls.

So whether it's a conversion or repair job, we hop to it. Because our people are efficient. And because they're backed up by un- matched facilities.

Regardless of the type job, we do it all in our one yard. The larg- est private yard in the world.

A yard with innovative research and development groups.

Three foundries that can pour the finest castings of iron, steel and nonferrous metals.

Modern, automatic steel handling facilities that make it easy to fabricate metal up to four inches thick into complex shapes. And a lot of well-equipped machine shops geared to put on the finish- ing touches.

So if your ship needs a little work, or a lot, come in. You'll prob- ably sail out faster than you thought.
