Factory diesel fuel filters have limited filtration capability and cannot remove water. DAHL removes virtually 100% of the water and solid contaminants and prevents expensive breakdown due to malfunctioning pumps and injector nozzles.

First Of Four Lauritzen Reefers

Launched At Hyundai's Ulsan Yard —Two Bulkers Delivered To Apex

The Australian Reefer, first of four 630,000-cubic-foot refriger- ated cargo ships under construc- tion for J. Lauritzen A/S of Copen- hagen, was launched recently at the Ulsan Shipyard of Hyundai

Heavy Industries Company, Ltd. in South Korea. These four vessels will be the largest and most mod- ern reefers ever to be operated by the Danish company, which this year celebrates its 100th anniver- sary in the shipping business.

The contracts for this series of vessels were signed in April and

June 1983, two in each month.

They are all scheduled to be deliv- ered by February 1985, with the first delivery to take place in No- vember this year.

Established in 1884, J. Lauritzen has a fleet of more than 20 ships compromising 12 reefers (plus chartered tonnage) and other ves- sels including bulk carriers, drill- ships, and jackup rigs. Most of the company's business is in reefer transport, but it also deals in dry bulk cargoes and offshore drilling.

The Australian Reefer has an overall length of 474 feet, beam of 77.4 feet, depth to upper deck of 50.5 feet, and scantling draft of 32.8 feet. She will be powered by a slow-speed Hyuandai/B&W 6L 60MCE diesel engine having a maximum continuous rating of 9,600 bhp at 107 rpm. At the nor- mal continuous rating of 8,160 bhp at 100 rpm, she will have a service speed of 18 knots. Dead- weight on scantling draft is 14,350 metric tons.

The 630,000 cubic feet of refrig- erated space is contained within a

BP length of only 443.5 feet, about 33 feet less than other large reef- ers of contemporary vintage. And, with six cargo decks rather than the usual four or five, the 50.5-foot depth is about 6.5 feet greater than most other reefers.

All cargo compartments will have a standard minimum deck height of 7.2 feet to meet the standard pallet height requirement as rec- ommended by CIMO. Hatch Nos. 2, 3, and 4 will have five decks and

There will be 19 separate com- partments, each with its own cool- ing plant, divided into eight sepa- rate gastight sections to cater to any variety of mixed cargoes. Each section can independently main- tain temperatures from +13 to — 25 C. Ventilation is vertical, with two fan speeds providing 45 or 90 air changes per hour.

These vessels will carry all types of perishable cargoes, from fresh produce such as bananas, apples, oranges, potatoes, and other vege- tables to frozen meat, poultry, and dairy products. The large deck area is also designed for the occa- sional transport of cargoes such as automobiles. Container capacity is 148 TEUs, 39 on the hatch covers and 109 on the weather deck.

Two recent deliveries from

Hyundai's Ulsan shipyard were the 63,800-dwt Panamax bulk car- riers Aurora and Archon, built for

Apex Marine Corporation of Lake

Success, N.Y., a company of the

Berger Group. The vessels are bas- ically sister ships, but the second delivery, the Archon, has four electro-hydraulic deck cranes, while the Aurora (photo) is without cargo- handling gear.
