R. Landry & Company, Ltd tional, each subsidiary has access to the accumulated know-how and experience of the Group.

In its cargo access equipment line, NCG offers a wide range of hatch covers such as pontoon, piggy-back, and folding covers; mechanically, electrically, or hy- draulically operated for ships de- signed for vertical cargo han- dling. For bulk and combination carriers, the unique Hydroseal side-rolling cover is another ex- ample of the company's innova- tive technology.

NCG is today the leading sup- plier of roll-on/roll-off access equipment. This product group includes stern ramps, fixed or angled; fixed, semi- or full-slew- ing; articulated or not; and me- chanically or hydraulically oper- erated. Other RO/RO products in- clude bow and stern doors, inter- nal ramps and covers, elevators, and hull and bulkhead doors.

The NCG Group has also been involved in the development of the elevators for all major barge carrier systems. Train ferries represent another area where

NCG technical solutions have lit- erally linked countries.

NCG also offers complete liq- uid cargo handling systems with remote control for the rapid load- ing and discharge of tankers, crude as well as product carriers.

These systems, now used by vir- tually all the major oil compa- nies, are based on components such as valves, actuators, etc. that can be obtained throughout the world. This insures low main- tenance costs and maximum secu- rity for the tanker operator.

As more and more RO/RO ships enter service, demands for berthing facilities are increasing.

The Port of Oslo, where the con- siderable water depth would have required extensive and costly en- gineering work if permanent new piers were constructed, chose a

Navire floating linkspan that can easily be moved from one location to another within the port to cope with varying requirements due to changes in the traffic pattern.

Navire's latest contract for a linkspan installation is with the

Port of Shuaiba in Kuwait. De- signed by Navire Cargo Gear in conjunction with Shuaiba port officials, this unit is a floating pontoon type that can handle the largest RO xRO ships currently planned. It will be built in Kuwait by Kuwait Shipbuilding and Re- (continued on page 46)
