TheVLCC

Olympic Bond

It isn't just the largest ship we've ever made.

It's probably the largest ship you'll ever want to buy.

The Olympic Bond is a 260,000 DWT Oil

Tanker. And while there are larger ones, we can give you a very good reason for buying this "smaller" one.

The maximum draft of the Olympic Bond is just 21 meters. So it can pass through shallow waters like the Malacca Straits and the Euro-Port. Larger tankers can't.

Even so, if you need an even larger tanker than the Olympic Bond, Hitachi Zosen can build it for you. Same place we built the Olympic Bond, Sakai Shipyard.

Sakai Shipyard is in Osaka, on an 822,000 square meter plot of land. Sakai was designed to manufacture large-scale vessels.

So it can turn out six VLCCs every year.

The main dock at Sakai is equipped with two 200-ton cranes for constructing 300,000 DWT ships.

And the repair dock can handle 400,000

DWT ships.

At Sakai, we use the "Three Partition

Building System." This results in complete rationalization of manufacture and true efficiency.

DuPont Offers Bulletin

On Ultra I&T

Pump Packing Yarn

Ultra I&T is a new pump pack- ing yarn containing Teflon® TFE fluorocarbon fiber designed to solve problems associated with high- speed pumps and excessive shaft runout. Excellent flexibility allows liquids to be sealed with a mini- mum of gland pressure. The result is less friction and heat build-up, thus longer wear life. This im- proved wear life means less equip- ment downtime. Installation is easy because the material conforms to just about any shape.

The Du Pont Company is offer- ing a free bulletin describing this new product, its advantages and applications. For a copy write Du

Pont Company, Eden Park Build- ing, PDM #15699, New Castle
