Texas Transport & Terminal

Contract With Soviet Covers

More Than 2,000 Large Ships

Following recent meetings in Moscow, So- viet Government authorities and T.T.T. (Tex- as Transport & Terminal Co., Inc.) officials signed an agreement in 'that city on March 27, covering 'USA agency representation and ste- vedoring management.

Classified by Soviet spokesmen as "The most extensive such shipping accord ever awarded 'to a single firm in USSR maritime history," T.T.T. will act in behalf of all Soviet- controlled vessels in U.S. Atlantic and Gulf ports. The related area, under T.T.T. jurisdic- tion, comprises 40 states and will be coordi- nated with Soviet representatives stationed in this country.

More than 2,000 large, modern Soviet- flag vessels—operated by 16 individual USSR- based firms—are covered under the contract.

Additionally, scores of bottoms, presently chartered by the Soviets to carry grain car- goes from the USA, are included.

The 200-vessel Leningrad-based Baltic

Shipping Co. fleet is already offering through

T.T.T. regularly scheduled liner services to and from the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf, calling

North Europe and Baltic ports. Expansion on other trade routes to and from the U.S. is ex- pected to be instituted in the months ahead.

Soviet Shipping Ministry officials comment- ed that T.T.T. was chosen from the numerous firms under consideration, "Because of its es- tablished 78-years' reputation and network of interior and port offices feeding Atlantic and

Gulf gateways from Maine to the Mexican border."

Gladding-Hearn Delivers

Versatile New Police Boat

The 36-foot police boat Protector, built for the city of

Boston, is an exact duplicate of the Vigilant built by

Gladding-Hearn in 1967.

Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding Corporation,

Somerset, Mass., announces the delivery of

Protector, a 36-foot steel and aluminum boat, to the city of Boston. The boat was designed by the builder especially to suit the require- ments of the port, where patrol and rescue duties are on a year round basis.

For high-speed rescue missions, the boat is powered by one 300-hp Cummins diesel engine, which turns 28-inch by 22-inch three-bladed

Federal Equipoise propeller through 2.5 :1 re- duction gears. Fully loaded with fuel and all rescue and fire fighting equipment, the boat attained a speed of 16.25 knots on acceptance trials. Due to the hazards of debris, ice and shallow water, a sturdy hull was required, and to this end bottom and transom plating is 3/16 inches thick, with rugged skeg and grounding shoe carried aft under propeller and rudder.

A 4-inch "D" section rubber guard is fitted at the deck edge, and offers excellent fendering alongside of pilings or other vessels.

With the need for a strong hull to take a lot of abuse and the capacity to carry an ex- ceptional load of equipment, yet maintain the ability to "get up and go" in emergencies, the design of the boat required close attention to detail. The goal of "a good looking boat with performance that's graceful at slow speeds (patrol), and also at high speed (rescue)" was achieved on a hull of 36-foot length, 11-foot beam, and a 4-foot 2-inch draft, using a de- veloped vee bottom planing form with built-in spray deflectors at the bow. Steel bulkheads divide 'the boat into three separate watertight compartments and framing is on the longitu- dinal system, with deep web frames spaced about 5 feet apart between bulkheads. The cabin and trunk are aluminum, but are insu- lated and sheathed inside for habitability.

The main engines are fitted with two lever controls with all instruments, switches,etc.con- centrated at the helm console. A bunk is ar- ranged in the wheelhouse to accommodate stretcher cases with stowage under for life jackets and rescue gear. An enclosed head is arranged aft.

The boat was fitted with a Federal inter- ceptor siren and public address system, and will be fitted by the city with VHF radio for department communications.
