General Dynamics Orders

Inert Gas Systems From

Gas Atmospheres For LNGs

Gas Atmospheres, Inc. has been awarded a $2-million contract by General Dynamics for the manufacture of seven custom-designed self-contained inert gas generating' systems for use on a like number of liquefied natural gas vessels. Each ship has a capacity of nearly 4^-million cubic feet of LNG. Delivery of the first system is scheduled for December.

The new General Dynamics vessels are the largest of their type ever built domestically.

The carriers will transport liquefied natural gas to areas of the world where shortages are reaching critical proportions.

The gas generating systems will provide 336,000 SCFH of high-purity moisture-free inert gas. The inert atmosphere will be used for gas-freeing the tanks prior to inspection.

The units may also serve as part of the ship's standby safety system, since inert gas may be used to blanket the areas surrounding the car- go tanks should any DNG leakage or similar emergencies occur at sea.

Gas Atmospheres, Inc., an Alco Standard

Corporate Partner, is a leading designer and producer of inert gas generating systems for a wide range of applications. Although furnish- ing General Dynamics with fully integrated systems represents a "first" for any U.S. manu- facturer in the relatively new area of large- scale transportation of liquefied natural gas by ship, similar systems can be provided for ves- sels carrying other volatile liquids.

Further information can be obtained by contacting Gas Atmospheres, Inc., 21945 Drake

Road, Strongsville, Ohio 44136.

LONGEST FOR CAPE TOWN DOCK: The 103,383-dwt

Grand Bassa tanker, the W. Alton Jones, shown above, is the longest vessel to be serviced in the Sturrock Grav- ing Dock in Table Bay Harbor, Cape Town, South Africa.

The Sturrock Dock, one of two large graving docks em- ployed by Murray & Stewart (Marine Pty.) Ltd., has a length of 1,156 feet. The Alton Jones, jumboized last year in Japan, now has a length of 945 feet and was also heightened to increase her draft and capacity. The vessel was in the drydock for three days for hull cleaning and painting, and for checking of her plates, her under- water valves, propeller and rudder. She was then placed alongside a repair berth to enable Murray & Stewart (Marine), to continue work for her annual survey require- ments, which included extensive pipe work and tank work, as well as engine, boiler, and auxiliary machinery overhauls. This repair job is one of nine major tanker contracts that Murray & Stewart (Marine) have handled in the last four months. C.N.D. Riddell, manager of

M & S Marine, said that the increase in big vessel work being handled by his firm was largely due to the increased number of agents that the company now has overseas and to the frequent work-seeking trips made by himself and others. Murray & Stewart is represented in the Unit- ed States by Frederick A. Ganter, Marine Repair & Con- struction Corporation-International, 17 Battery Place,

New York, N.Y. 10004. •BHHHHHIi
