The Panmax-type 60,503-dwt general-bulk carrier Evelyn is shown undergoing sea trials.

The Evelyn is the fourth in a series of 13 similar ships being built by Hitachi-Zosen.

The launching and delivery cere- monies of two 60-type bulk car- riers took place recently at Hitachi

Zosen's Maizuru (Japan) shipyard.

One ship, the Evelyn for Angelica

West Germany, America and Ja- pan. The other ship, the Jaguar for

Fidelity Maritime Corporation of

Liberia, was launched and will be delivered in January, 1972.

This class of ship has a length between perpendiculars of 705 feet 2 inches, a breadth of 105 feet 7 inches, a depth of 68 feet 5 inches and a full-load draft of 40 feet 7}4 inches. The 60,503-dwt ships have a cargo-hold capacity of 2,620,390 cubic feet. They are powered by a

Hitachi Sulzer 7RND 76-type die- sel engine developing 14,000 bhp, which gives the ship a trial speed of 16.8 knots.

Hitachi Zosen had contracts for 13 ships of this type. The Evelyn was the fourth ship to be delivered of the series. It is classed by the

American Bureau of Shipping. The keel was laid on March 24 and launching took place on June 19, 1971. The Jaguar, the fifth ship of the class is being classed by Bu- reau Veritas. All 13 ships will be delivered by the end of 1974.
