turnarounds at Portland, Maine.

Ships can take on 4800 gal./hr. of Shell

Lubricants here; 4000 gal./hr. at Hampton

Roads; 4400 gal./hr. at New York City. Cost- saving bulk delivery of Shell Lubricants is available at 13 major ports on the East,

West and Gulf coasts.

Shell knows that ships have to get back in service fast. That's where the profit is—when the ship is moving. So in Portland, Maine (and 12 other major ports) the speedy, cost-saving bulk deliv- ery of Shell marine lubricants' is available to serve you.

Ships in Portland Harbor, for example, can have their lubricants tanks filled in mid-har- bor. No need to tie up at a dock. Shell distributor,

Golten Ship Repair, sends out the Aubrey L.

Hudgins. The little 95-gross-ton tanker has a ca- pacity of 48,000 gallons of lube oils.

Advantages to motorships

The Hudgins pulls alongside a newly arrived ship.

One man hooks up the connection and opens the ship's intake valve. Another man watches the sight in the ship's engine room. That's all there is to it. No cranes. No cargo nets. No tank trucks needed on a pier.

It's a speedy tank-to-tank delivery system that involves very little chance of product con- tamination, and no interference with cargo han- dling operations. The time for the turnaround is trimmed. Money is saved for the ship's operator.

MELINA® Oil-one oil in bulk for 8 different shipboard applications

Shell MELINA Oil can effectively lubricate a motorship's main engines—plus most other ship- board machinery. MELINA Oil is a diesel engine oil, air compressor oil, turbocharger oil, steering gear oil, stern tube bearing oil, and variable-pitch propeller oil.

Buying multi-purpose MELINA Oil, and having it pumped aboard in a speedy bulk loading operation makes good business sense. The sav- ings in time, labor and paper work are obvious.

The Hudgins' pumps can deliver 4,800 gallons per hour from her 48,000-gallon-capacity tanks. Turnaround time for ships is speeded up by this fast, clean delivery system.

Bulk lube oil delivery of Shell marine lubricants at major

U.S. ports offers motorships fast, clean, safe delivery. Lifting lube oil in bulk directly into ships' tanks is much faster than drums, safer and more economical than drums, and there is far less chance for product contamination.
