The first cement carrier ever built in Taiwan was delivered re- cently to her owners, Asia Cement

Corporation, by China Shipbuild- ing Corporation's Keelung Yard.

Named Asia Cement No. 1, the vessel is now operating in Taiwan coastal trade.

The 6,000-dwt ship constitutes an important step in the develop- ment of efficient bulk cement transportation in Taiwan and

Southeast Asia. Her self-loading and self-unloading equipment was designed and delivered by Nord- stroms of Sweden; it has a load- ing capacity of 600 tons per hour and unloading capacity of 400 tons per hour.

The cargo-handling system com- prises Nordstroms' well-proven mechanical equipment with chains and screw conveyors. The all- weather operation is totally en- closed and dust-free between silo and ship. Similar Nordstroms sys- tems have been in operation in other parts of the world for more than 30 years.
