The M/V Goliath was designed by M.J. Doherty & Co. of Sydney, Australia, and is equipped with bow and stern thrusters to assist in berthing operations.

Carrington Slipways Pty. Ltd.,

Old Punt Road, Tomago, N.S.W.,

Australia, on September 17 launched a self-unloading cement carrier. Named for the owning company, the M/V Goliath was christened by Lady Patricia Som- erset, wife of Sir Henry Somerset,

C.B.E., chairman of Goliath Ce- ment Holdings Ltd.

The vessel is a 4,000-ton bulk cement carrier designed to re- ceive bulk cement from a shore installation at the rate of 500 tons/hour and discharge to a lo- cation ashore at the rate of 400 tons/hour. Discharge will be ef- fected by cement-handling equip- ment installed on the ship.

The Goliath's design incorpo- rates self-tensioning mooring equipment and bridge control of machinery. The engine room is approved for Periodical Unmanned

Operation. 500-hp bow and stern thrusters are included to assist in berthing operations.

The main engine is a 4,250-hp

Mitsubishi UET marine diesel en- gine direct coupled to a single fixed-pitch propeller. Controls for the bow thruster, stern thruster, main engine and rudder are lo- cated in the wheelhouse, and com- plete instrumentation allows the vessel to be completely operated from this position.

The M/V Goliath was built by

Carrington Slipways, shipbuilders of Tomago, to working drawings supplied by M.J. Doherty & Co. of Sydney, Naval Architects.

Single berth cabins, amenity spaces for both officers and crew, operational and navigational quar- ters are fully air-conditioned.

Structure and furnishings are manufactured with easily main- tainable finishes to provide a high standard of accommodation throughout.

The M/V Goliath has an over- all length of approximately 312 feet, a molded breadth of 46 feet, draft to designed W.L. of 17 feet, a total deadweight tonnage of 4,020 at 19-foot draft, and a mean trial speed of 14 knots. "MUST66 MMG MANHATTAN, - THAT'S r/ie secoA/D sj
