Sea-Land Cranes Complete Trip

From Japan To Port Of Tacoma

The journey that recently brought two mammoth container cranes from Japan to the Port of Tacoma,

Wash., represent a milestone in con- struction of Sea-Land's new con- tainer facility there. Their success- ful voyage marked the first time that fully erected cranes of this size were transported across the Pacific

Ocean.

The two cranes (shown), which stood 280 feet above the deck of the heavy lift ship Sunrise and weigh 1,200 tons each, were built by Hita- chi, Ltd. of Japan. Two additional

Hitachi cranes are scheduled to be delivered to Tacoma in March this year.

The voyage took 47 days, as the

Sunrise took a southernly route to avoid storms. By comparison, con- tainerships traveling the more di- rect great circle route normally take 10 days to travel from Japan to

Tacoma. In spite of its chosen route, the Sunrise still encountered some severe weather, including a typhoon with winds of up to 50 knots.

Once docked at the Sea-Land site, the cranes were rolled off the Sun- rise onto temporary rails stretched from the vessel's stern, which were perpendicular to the permanent rails on the concrete wharf. When the cranes were positioned over the wharf's rails, the cranes were jacked up, their wheel rotated 90 degrees, and lowered onto the permanent rails.

The Port of Tacoma is in the pro- cess of building a $6-million inter- modal yard that will match its pres- ent yard as having the closest prox- imity to shipside container unload- ing operations on the U.S. West

Coast. Sea-Land expects to handle at least 120,000 FEUs of containers in the new yard during the first year of its operation. The intermodal yard will be available for use by oth- er shippers as well.

New Radiotelephone

From Si-Tex

The new 855 transceiver from Si-

Tex is rugged, reliable and fully syn- thesized and makes available all

USA and International VHF marine channels plus seven USA weather channels and one Canadian. With 55 transmit and 63 receive channels you never have to change crystals wherever you operate.

Emergency channel 16 activates instantly when the CH-16 priority button is pressed with the unit in receive mode. The second press re- stores previous channel selected.

Squelch control eliminates annoy- ing background noise when no sig- nal is present. At the touch of a but- ton, microprocessor control scans all weather channels and locks auto- matically on the strongest signal.

Active channel is digitally shown by liquid crystal displays with switch-on nightlight. High-low pow- er switch selects 25 watts transmit power for long-range communica- tions or one watt for in harbor. A front directed speaker permits flush mounting.
