THREE IN ONE — This photo of three liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers in various stages of construction at Tenneco's Newport News

Shipbuilding, Newport News, Va., was taken atop the yard's 900-ton crane recently during the launch of the El Paso Arzew, the ship with bunting draped on its bow. In the background is the El Paso Southern, launched in January. In the foreground is the El Paso Howard Boyd, third of the three LNG carriers being built at the world's largest shipyard. The 1,600-foot dock can simultaneously accommodate one and a half ships.

CCN Of Brazil Launches

New Type Bulk Carrier

The first export vessel of a new design of 26,500-dwt bulk carriers has been launched from the Maua yard of the leading Brazilian shipbuilder, Companhia Comercio e Navegacao (CCN).

The vessel, named the Alex- andres G. Tsavliris, will be owned by the Greek Tsavliris Group.

She was sponsored at the launch- ing by Mrs. Claire A. Tsavliris.

The ship, the first vessel to be ordered in Brazil for Greek account, is one of two Prinasa 26/15s ordered at CCN by the

Tsavliris Group. The second ves- sel, to be called the Claire A.

Tsavliris, is due to be delivered to her owner in December.

Prinasa 26/15s for export in- clude two for Interoceanica of

Valparaiso, Chile, and two for the Greek Kalamotusis Group.

Brazilian owners, other than

Lloyd Brasileiro and Netumar, who have Prinasa 26/15s on or- der are Paulista, Alianca and

Frota Amazonica.

The Prinasa 26/15 was de- signed jointly by CCN's own na- val architecture company, Prin- asa, and Sener of Bilbao, the

Spanish engineering company.

The vessel is capable of carry- ing general cargo, containers, iron ore and an unlimited variety of other goods. Equipped with a 13,300-bhp diesel engine, it can develop a service speed of 15.4 knots at 85 percent MCR. The ship length overall is about 568 feet, molded breadth 87 feet, and molded depth 44 feet. She has five holds.

CCN is currently constructing a series of 42 SD-14s, (23 of which have been delivered), 13

Prinasa 121s (four delivered), and 22 Prinasa 26/15s (one delivered).

The Prinasa 26/15s are being constructed on CCN's modernized slipway, and the SD-14s and Prin- asa 121s in the graving dock which has been converted to new- building under the yard's recent £16 million (approximately $28,- 000,000) expansion and modern- ization program.

Mooring is so safe and simple you can sleep on it without a worry.

Markey's A-T mooring winch system is the only system you can set — and safely forget about monitoring mooring lines as tides, winds, sea- states and loading conditions change. The winches hold the correct tension without attention. And at minimum life cycle costs, too. You can depend on it. Call us for all your deck machinery needs.
