Ogden Marine, Inc., a subsidiary of Ogden Corporation, has an- nounced that it has taken delivery of the first in a series of three com- bination new car and bulk cargo carriers. The new vessel, the M/V

Ogden Jordan, is about 37,300 dead- weight tons and 590 feet long. As a car carrier, it has a capacity of 2,115 economy-size automobiles. As a bulk cargo carrier, it can carry about 36,000 tons of bulk cargo such as coal, ore and grain.
