New U.S. Built Coal-Fired

Ship To Be Powered

By G.E. Steam Turbine

The first coal-fired ship to be built in the United States in mod- ern maritime history will be pow- ered by a General Electric Com- pany 12,000-shp geared marine steam turbine.

It is the second order for coal- fired propulsion equipment re- ceived recently by General Elec- tric (Lynn, Mass.).

The ship, which will haul 30,000 short tons of coal between Hamp- ton Roads, Va., and New Eng- land Power Company electric gen- erating plants at Brayton Place,

R.I., and Salem, Mass., has been ordered by a company owned jointly by New England Power and Keystone Shipping Company.

The vessel will be built by Gen- eral Dynamics at its Quincy,

Mass., shipyard. The ship is ex- pected to go into service in 1983.

Raymond J. Walsh, manager of marine sales at General Electric's

Industrial and Marine Steam Tur- bine Division, said the orders re- flect a renewed interest in coal- fired ships for hauling not only coal but all bulk materials.

General Electric recently an- nounced an order for two 19,000- shaft-horsepower geared marine steam turbines to power ships that will serve the Australian bauxite trade. Those propulsion systems will be built jointly by

General Electric in Lynn and

Cantieri Navali Reuniti, General

Electric's manufacturing associ- ate in Genoa, Italy. The two ships will be built in Trieste, Italy.

Nizxf's nose is harder than his hat.

It's hard to beat our Shipyard.

Because we have so many hardnoses.

Like Dick Nizzi. A leaderman in our Outside Machinists department.

When Nizzi runs a job he grabs hold like a Georgia Bulldog.

And if need be he'll chew a few tails, too. Until he's 100% satisfied.

Then you know it's right.

That's what a top leaderman has to do if he's going to cut the mustard in Savannah.

We've built our reputation by being mustard-cutters.Tough, reliable, persistent, and fast.

That's the Savannah "edge."

We all know major shipyards (us included) have cranes, drydocks, and specialized shops.

But all yards don't have dedicated, hardnosed workers like ours.

Savannah Machine and

Shipyard.

We do scheduled drydocking, voyage repairs, and major conversions.

And you get Nizzi's nose in the bargain.

The Savannah Yard.
