Pacific Resources Plan

Construction Of Four Tankers

At Total Cost Of $140 Million

Pacific Resources Inc. said it has filed an amended application with the Federal Mari- time Commission for oil-tanker-construction subsidies, raising the number of tankers re- quested to four from three and increasing the size of each ship to 89,000 tons from 80,000; since the original request was filed in October, the company has formed a subsidiary—Hawaii- an International Shipping Corp. — to operate the tankers.

The ships are expected to cost an aggregate $140 million, the company said. Of this amount, 39 percent would be covered by subsi- dies if approval is granted by June 30, 1974.

Assuming approval, the company said, three of the ships could be in operation by 1977 and the fourth by 1978.

The ships are primarily designed to carry crude oil from Indonesia and the Persian Gulf to U.S. ports, but they would also be able to handle ore or grain.

NEVER A WATER SHORTAGE: This 146-foot-long lux- ury yacht will never have a water shortage. Designed by

Bureau DeVoogt of Haarlem, Holland, DeVries Scheeps- bouw, b.v., Aalsmeer, Holland, built the yacht for James

A. Ryder of Miami, Fla. The M/Y Jardell makes use of a pair of Maxim HJ 1 0 desalinators and one HJ50 to meet her freshwater needs. Electric power is supplied by two 1 1 5-kw sets, with one Maxim HJ 1 0 desalinator operated by recovery of engine jacket water heat from each diesel generator set. Main propulsion, providing for a cruising speed of 1 6 knots, is by two 900-hp GM diesels. The big

Maxim HJ50 desalinator is operated by the rejected en- gine jacket water heat from the main propulsion engines.

Her appointments include three double guest rooms, each with a bathroom and shower, owner's cabin with bath- room and shower, captain's cabin with bath, a kitchen, dining room, bar and lounge, living room, two studios, and sun deck, five double crew cabins with four bath- rooms and showers, crew's recreation room, mess room, and laundry. The three Maxim desalinators, supplied by

Riley-Beaird, Inc., Shreveport, La., can provide all fresh- water requirements and operate economically from engine jacket water heat that might otherwise be wasted. 12 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
