STRETCHING THE 'POINT' — Newport Ship Yard, Inc., Newport,

R.I., recently completed the lengthening of the passenger vessel

Brandt Point (shown above) for the upcoming season. The Brandt

Point, owned by the Hyannis Tours Company of Hyannis, Mass., regularly carries passengers to Nantucket Island. The vessel was lengthened from 122 feet to 134.5 feet. The production took place following hauling and side transfer of the vessel from the NSY's 3,000-ton marine railway drydock to a dockside repair and construc- tion area. The conversion project included a new main deck aft to be used for carriage of luggage and/or bicycles, installation of a service bay, extension of upper deck allowing 52 additional seats, and exten- sion of a new bridge deck permitting 32 additional seats.

Macawber Gets Another

Contract For Equipment

On Coal-Fired Ships

Macawber Engineering group,

Maryville, Tenn., a world leader in the field of pneumatic coal con- veying, has been awarded another project for coal conveying equip- ment onboard the new generation of coal-fired ships. Macawber has now been awarded all the coal conveying business so far placed for the new coal-fired ships, which are seen by the shipping world as a major technological step for- ward.

The latest project is worth $1 million. A letter of intent has been signed by Mitsubishi Heavy

Industries of Japan for complete

Macawber Denseveyor pneumatic coal conveying systems for two 75,000-dwt cargo carriers cur- rently building for the Australian

National Line. When in service the carriers will carry coal from

Weiper to Gladstone on a dedi- cated route off the Northeast

Coast of Australia.

The Macawber Systems will comprise a series of six model 8/10 Denseveyors with individual 5-inch nominal bore pipeline that will transfer coal at the rate of 12 tons per hour from the ships' main bunkers to feed hoppers lo- cated over the boilers.

The announcement of the latest project comes only two months after Macawber was awarded the world's first contract for coal con- veying equipment of this type for marine applications. That was also a $l-million plus contract and was for two 75,000-dwt ore carriers currently being built in the Monfacone Yard of Italcan- tieri in Italy.
