NASSCO To Build

Three Tankers For

Moore And McCormack

Moore and McCormack Co., Inc. (NYSE) has announced that it will build three tankers at a cost in ex- cess df $63 million. James R. Bark- er, chairman Moore and McCor- mack, said the move "is consistent with our long-term program of ex- panding the use of the company's transportation capabilities into en- ergy-related activities."

Mr. Barker said that each of the new vessels will be in excess of 38,000 tons, with a shallow draft of 35 feet, have a service speed of 16 knots, and feature an automated engine room and a semiautomatic cargo control system. The ships are designed for transport of crude oil and products such as gasoline or kerosene. They will be built at the San Diego, Calif., shipyard of

National Steel and Shipbuilding

Co. and are scheduled for delivery in October 1975, June 1976 and

January 1977.

Mr. Barker also noted that the vessels, which will be operated by

Moore-McCormack Bulk Trans- port, Inc., will feature segregated ballast so that oil and ballast water storage tanks will not be co- rn ingle d.

Exxon Offers New Fuel

And Lubricant Tables

A simplified temperature-viscos- ity chart for typical marine fuels and new viscosity blending chart are features of the 1973 Conversion

The 36-page booklet, which the company has published in various forms for nearly 40 years, contains all the data ordinarily needed for shipboard calculations involving fuels and lubricants. There are eight tables, most of them taken from the ASTM-IP Petroleum

Measurement Tables, and four charts, plus an explanation of quan- tity calculations encountered in the marine trade and new glossary of petroleum terms. The final pages contain brief descriptions of the company's lubricants and fuels.
