Hellenic Lines Orders

Ro/Ro Ships In Japan

Hellenic Lines has placed an order for two 625-foot-long roll- on/roll-off vessels with Japan's

Sasebo Heavy Industries Co. Ltd.

Hellenic also has an option for construction of two more roll-on ships at Sasebo.

Each ship will have approxi- mately 10,200 running feet of space and will be able to carry up to 250 forty-foot trailers plus 450 "American" cars, or up to 1,100 twenty-foot containers. The vessels also will have a 23-foot- wide stern ramp with 160-ton ca- pacity, as well as one ramp and three elevators as internal equip- ment.

In addition, the ships will be equipped with four twin sets of flush hatch covers that will enable the use of shore-based gantry cranes. The vessels' service speed will be 20.3 knots.

The total investment in the four ships, including ancillary equipment, will exceed $100 mil- lion, according to Hellenic Lines.

According to Dimitri Rallis, as- sistant to Hellenic's general man- ager P.G. Callimanopulos, sched- uled delivery date of the first vessel is May 1978, with deliver- ies of later vessels expected every

For sewage treatment

Demco does it best.

Simplicity is the key to the Demco packaged sewage treatment plant.

And your key to low maintenance operation that is fast, effective, reliable and economical.

Simple Low Maintenance Opera- tion. Raw sewage enters the plant and passes through aeration cham- bers by gravity. What could be more simple than that? There are no pumps or intricate mechanisms to clog or break down. Wastes are reduced by aeration and consumed by an exclu- sive mixture of bacteria-enzymes.

Final disinfection is by dry soluble chlorine tablets.

Fast. Special bacteria-enzymes accelerate degradation and maintain a viable biology. In a day's operation, the Demco system will process as much as 25% more sewage than competitive designs. Standard

Demco units process from 325 to 12,500 GPD. Larger systems are available for special applications.

Effective. Demco system design treats all degradable wastes includ- ing difficult materials like paper, grease, oil, detergents and garbage processed through a disposal with impressive results. When operated using recommended procedures,

Demco sewage treatment plants will remove 85-95% of BOD and sus- pended solids. The effluent contains a minimum chlorine residual of 1 mg./ liter and 1,000 or less coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters.

Reliable. Demco sewage treatment plants perform. Performance that has earned National Sanitation

Foundation certification (Standard 23).

Demco plants are also certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, and meet or exceed U.S. Geological Survey and anticipated IMCO effluent requirements.

Reduction of BOD and suspended solids below 10PPM is common with the addition of the Demco Dual

Media Tertiary Filter downstream of the basic plant. This quality effluent exceeds all published EPA require- ments for land and offshore sewage discharge.

South Africa trade.
