Prudential Lines Orders 250 LASH Barges

Worth Over $16 Million

Prudential Lines has signed a contract worth in excess of $16 million for 250 lighter-aboard- ship barges for use in its upcom- ing expanded Mediterranean serv- ice. Announcement of the trans- action has been made by Spyros

S. Skouras, Prudential president, and C.M. Keeney, president of

Equitable Equipment Co., Inc.,

New Orleans, La., who will build the barges.

The new units will be commis- sioned in conjunction with entry of the LASH Atlantico and LASH

Pacifico into Prudential service this fall, the announcement states.

The LASH ships and barges were designed by Friede & Gold- man, Inc., New Orleans firm of naval architects.

According to Mr. Skouras, the expanded fleet will enable the line to offer weekly sailings rather than the present fortnightly op- eration.

And why you should.

General Dynamics, a leader in the design and development of LNG tankers-chose the latest development in speed measurement technology—the Raytheon all digital DSL-200

Doppler Speed Log. Why? For any one or more of 5 specific reasons. Because the Raytheon

DSL-200 has 5 outstanding advantages over competitive systems. If you're a ship designer, builder, or owner, you should know what Gen- eral Dynamics knows about why the DSL-200 is the best choice in Doppler Speed Logs. 1. Low Overall Cost. First cost and installation cost are low. The DSL-200 transducer can be positioned most anywhere, depending upon the hull configuration. 2. Low Operating Cost. Reliable modular digital circuits never need calibration. 3. Speed and Depth Data. The DSL-200 pro- vides accurate speed and depth informa- tion down to 1000' (automatically switches to watermass tracking beyond 1000')... 0.5% accuracy at all depths. 4. "Other-Systems" Compatible. DSL-200 delivers accurate speed data for your expen- sive navigation systems. 5. Expandability. DSL-200 can easily be ex- panded to include doppler docking, naviga- tion and anti-stranding capabilities.
