Portex '81 (continued from page 7) the development and design of ports throughout the world: Dr.

Hans Ludwig Beth, from the In- stitute for Maritime Traffic in

Bremen, on "World Trade Fore- casts and World Port Capacity";

Rey Beaudesson and Michel Ber- nard from the Union Industrielle et d'Entreprise in Paris on "Port

Construction Models and the

Transfer of Know-how"; Prof.

Dr.-Ing. A.J. Rogan from the Na- tional Technological University of Athens (Greek Ports) ; Prof.

Dr. Guiseppe Dagnino, president of Genoa Port Authority (South- ern European Ports and Their

Importance for Transport in Cen- tral Europe) ; and Daniel Mor- genstern, director of ports and shipping at the Ministry of Trans- port in Israel (The Effects of Po- litical Developments on Ports in the Middle East).

The influence of energy poli- cies on the relationship between

European port planning and de- velopment on the one hand and the flow of transport and the function of intermodal transport technologies on the other hand will be examined by Prof. Dr.-

Ing. Erich Bahke from the Insti- tute for Conveyor Technology at the University of Karlsruhe.

Prof. Dr. Franz Malz from Aachen

College of Technology will discuss global ecological aspects of the construction and operation of sea- ports and port facilities. And F.J.

Grosser, director of the Academia

Cosmologica Nova in Munich, will speak on global ecological and economic problems in connection with infrastructural planning and the location of industry in ports.

SEMINAR PROGRAM

An extensive seminar program parallel to the congress has at- tracted the participation of Ham- burg Port Consulting GmbH, the

Hamburg Association of Offshore

Technology and Marine Construc- tion Engineers, Bilfinger + Berger (Mannheim), Uniconsult (Ham- burg), and French, British, and

Italian consulting firms. In the general area of port planning and design the following topics will be discussed: the principles of economic development and loca- tion of industry in ports; port planning and expansion in Bre- men, particularly container ter- minals ; communication of know- how, illustrated by the example of the Aqaba Port Training Cen- tre in Jordan and the Socomac

Model in Cameroon; planning of port construction models with the example of a modular con- tainer terminal system; port con- struction innovations for growth- oriented, rational port buildings; maximizing the efficiency of dredges and a description of the present dredging systems; corro- sion protection and lamination systems in the planning of port facilities under water and on land.

The second part of the seminar 8 will deal with port operation and equipment. Consulting firms from

West Germany, Great Britain,

Holland, Norway, and Hungary have agreed to participate. The main topics are as follows: ef- ficient equipment in the service of shipping; a new tendering sys- tem ; doubling of cargo-handling capacity of container terminals through utilization of new han- dling systems; the efficient uti- lization of conveyor and lifting gear in ports as illustrated by the multipurpose container ter- minal on Tin Can Island, Nigeria; control systems for mobile con- veying and hoisting equipment; plant and machinery for port storage; crane construction; new ways of storing large containers in high-stack facilities and the development of the ConAir tank container.

The third part of the seminar will deal mainly with port orga- nization, administration and serv- ice systems. Communication ex- perts will discuss the utilization of minicomputers, closed-circuit monitoring and radio systems, the use of data processing in port data banks and cargo-handling, data processing monitor systems for containers and container re- pairs, training systems for port personnel, as well as fire and gen- eral safety precautions in ports.

The fourth part of the seminar Crude Oil Washing problems come in many shapes and sizes.

So do BUTTERWORTH tank cleaning machines.

The Right System

Reduces

Turn-around Time...

Increases Profits.

Because tank washing problems can be simple or complex there is no one machine that is right for every tank or task.

But with this wide range of equipment

Butterworth Systems can help you select precisely the right machine or combinations of machines for your vessel, so you get the optimum cleaning system at minimum cost.

With the IMCO deadline approaching, there couldn't be a better time to let Butterworth

Systems solve your tank cleaning problems

The Industry Leader

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

For over fifty years

Butterworth Systems has been the world leader in tank cleaning equipment

Our complete line of tank washing machines offer thoroughly proven performance and the highest reliability. Each

BUTTERWORTH* tank cleaning machine has its own unique cleaning capabilities and advantages which can provide a tailor-made system for your specific crude oil washing needs 1.

The LAVOMATIC®

SA Machine. For

Fastest Cleaning of

Large Tanks.

The deck mounted

LAVOMATIC14 SA tank cleaning machine has a capacity of 90 -150 tons per hour and a Selective

Arc feature for single or multi-stage crude oil washing. It is the only tank cleaning machine in the world which has a patented programed speed feature which concentrates cleaning effectiveness wherever sludge buildup is normally heavy. The

LAVOMATIC* SA unit automatically slows down when washing critical areas and then speeds up over less critical areas. This speed programming feature can result in up to 60% reduced cleaning time.

The LAVOMATIC* SA advantage: the fastest economical cleaning of even the largest tanks plus a long history of superb performance and reliability. 2Introducing • the

BUTTERWORTH•

P-60 Machine.

Making Multi-stage

Crude Oil Washing

More Economical.

The latest addition to the

Butterworth

Systems family of tank cleaning machines, the

P-60 is a single nozzle, deck mounted machine functionally similar to the

LAVOMATIC® SA machine. The capacity of the

P-60 ranges from 90 to 150 tons per hour. It features a permanently mounted control box/power source, preset speed and full-flow turbine. © 1980 Butterworth Systems Inc.

Three preset selectable arcs are available to the tanker crew for a full wash, side wash or bottom wash. The bottom wash setting features a closer wash pattern to provide the greater cleaning power required there.

The P-60 advantage: provides multi- stage washing and proven

Butterworth

Systems reliability while reducing initial cost.
