Plans are moving ahead quickly for the

Thirty-Sixth Annual Technical Conference of the Canadian Shipbuilding and Ship Repair- ing Association to be held at the Queen Eliz- abeth Hotel, Montreal, Quebec on February 14, 1984.

The Annual Technical Conference, always held in Montreal, is by far the largest, best known and best attended CSSRA event.

The program will be presented in two sepa- rate halls: one primarily for shipbuilders, the other of more general interest to both ship- builders and allied industries: (1) "An Inte- grated Shipyard Production Planning and

Cost Control System," W. Clark, Computer

McDermott To Build $6-Million

Matson Container Barge

A unique 350-foot self-loading barge for

Matson Navigation Company's interisland cargo service in Hawaii will be built by Mc-

Dermott, Inc., of Louisiana, at a cost of nearly $6 million.

The drawing of a unique container barge showing the elevated rail crane used for container positioning. Inset details how the container is held parallel to the barge.

The barge will have capacity to carry 216 containers of various sizes, including dry and refrigerated containers and auto frames, plus 1,700 long tons of molasses.

Construction of the barge is scheduled for completion next August. An innovative on- deck revolving crane will be built under a sep- arate contract. Bids from crane manufacturers throughout the world are being reviewed. The completed barge is expected to be ready for service from Honolulu by the end of October.

It will be named Haleakala, for Maui's famous mountain.

The barge will be built in three sections ir different McDermott yards: the bow section in

New Iberia, La., the stern section with ma- chinery in Morgan City, La., and the midbody in Gulfport, Miss., with final assembly in Mor- gan City.

The barge, towed by a chartered tug, will supplement Matson's containership Mauna

Kea in transshipping Pacific Coast-Hawaii cargo between Honolulu and the islands of

Hawaii, Maui and Kauai.

New features designed by Matson engineers include movable cell-guides to secure con- tainers on deck, the revolving crane that will keep containers parallel with the barge dur- ing loading and unloading and a radio-con- trolled stern-thruster to assist in docking operations.
