Siwertell Develops New Design For

Floating Bulk Transfer Station

AB Siwertell of Sweden has de- loading towers according to re- veloped a design for floating bulk quired capacity and duty. It is in- transfer stations based on a catama- tended for direct trans-shipment ran platform equipped with various between oceangoing carriers and configurations of unloading and shuttle craft in sheltered waters such as river estuaries and land- locked bays, as a supplement to or substitute for shore terminals with limited capacity or depth of water.

The platform consists of two 230- by 26-foot pontoons connected by bridges at each end, with a 75.5- foot-wide docking space between them to accommodate up to two barges or shuttle craft side-by-side.

A third barge can be berthed out- board on the side opposite from the oceangoing ship. The area between the pontoons and bridges could be decked over if desired.

Cargo transfer equipment con- sists of one or two ships or barge unloaders and one or two loaders, all mounted on towers on the pontoons.

The unloaders are of the standard

Siwertell type, with digger-tipped, pendulum-action vertical arms and slewable, luffable horizontal arms.

The loaders comprise a horizontal slewable arm with an epicylic exten- sion that terminates in a telescoping discharge tube to minimize spillage and escape of dust. For further information,

Burned by

Cheaper

Fuels?

Tired of that extra mainten- ance work and delays for repairs?

Worried about increased engine wear, cost of spares or heavier boiler deposits?

Fed up with fuel additives that sound good but don't work?

Are the "bean counters" on your back to burn even cheaper fuels?

Here's hope: Ferrous FE4 Fuel

Oil Catalyst for marine diesels and boilers. It lets you burn cheaper fuels just as easily as higher grade fuel.

No Magnesium Oxide

Unlike most fuel oil additives,

FE4does not contain magnesium.

It won't leave efficiency robbing magnesium ash deposits or cause accelerated wear. And it won't set- tle out of the fuel,even while in storage. I

A gallon of FE4 treats 3,000 gallons of fuel oil and produces less than 2 grams of ash.That's 150 to 450 times less ash than you may have experienced with other additives. Our best customers are probably just like you. They tried everything and gave up on addi- tives. Then we convinced them to try FE4. It worked.

Ferrous has the proof:

Maybe you already know some of our satisfied customers.

More than 50 ships use FE4. Like to find out who they are? Please contact KChorlton:
