Blount Marine Delivers 64-Foot Ferry

To Prudence Island Navigation

The Detroit Diesel-powered Prudence Ferry replaced the

Prudence II, which was built 24 years ago by Blount Marine

Corporation.

Blount Marine Corporation of Warren, R.I., has delivered the new M/V Prudence Ferry to the Prudence Island Navigation Company. The ferry took over operations of the previous vessel, the Prudence II, on March 1.

The new M/V Prudence Ferry at 64 feet by 35 feet by 4 feet, is capable of carrying up to 10 cars and 149 passengers, and is said to be considered the best ice-breaking vessel on the Narragansett

Bay. She will make special trips between Bristol,

R.I., and Prudence Island for rubbish pick up, fuel truck delivery, fire and emergency, highway maintenance and heavy delivery trucks. A uniquely designed bow ramp enables the Pru- dence Ferry to embark/disembark vehicles eas- ily. The previous ferry, although being able to carry 225 passengers, had no freight-carrying capability and a one-car capacity.

The M/V Prudence Ferry, powered by a

Detroit Diesel Allison 12V71 engine, has a 40- person-capacity passenger shelter with picture windows, sound-insulated interiors, two heated cabins and a third removable cabin. The ferry is designed to be a very "dry" vessel, keeping both passengers and cargo safe and comfortable.

Matson's Honolulu Facility

Gets New Straddle Carriers —Literature Available rmmi ] fr SSflf J! if tt,

Five new straddle carriers, each 50 feet high and weighing 60 tons, were unloaded recently (photo) at Matson Navigation Company's Hon- olulu container yard as part of the Matson Ter- minals program to replace cargo-handling equipment in its West Coast-Hawaii service.

The five vehicles, which cost about $1.7 mil- lion, were built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Mihara, Japan. The new straddlers can stack containers three high, compared with two high for previous models, and are more economical to operate and maintain. Matson has ordered five more for Honolulu and three for the Oakland,

Calif., terminal, with delivery scheduled for this fall.
