Port Authority In Malaysia

Orders Voith Water Tractor —Literature Available

Kuantan Port Authority in Ma- laysia recently placed an order with

Penang Shipbuilding Corporation for a Voith Water Tractor as a ship- handling vessel for the newly built terminal in Kuantan. The decision was made after extensive evaluation of different tugboat designs and propulsion systems, considering also practical experience in different harbors in Malaysia.

The vessel will have a waterline length of about 92 feet, beam of 30.8 feet, and maximum draft of about 14 feet. Displacement will be about 400 tons. Propulsion will be pro- vided by two Stork Werkspoor die- sel engines, each with an output of 1,341 bhp, and two Voith-Schneider 26 G 11/165 propellers. This combi- nation will give the vessel a free- running speed of 12 knots and a bol- lard pull of 30 tons.

Three harbor authorities in India have also decided in favor or Voith

Water Tractors. The Madras Port

Authority has ordered two vessels of 30 tons bollard pull each; the Tuti- corin Port Authority has contracted for one tractor of about 35 tons bol- lard pull; and the new Mangalore

Port Authority has ordered one water tractor of about 35 tons bol- lard pull and one of about 25 tons.
