MonArk Boat Delivers 30-Foot All-Aluminum

Transportation Barge

MonArk's 30-foot transportation barge is powered by twin

AQAD40/290 Volvo I/O diesels (165 hp each).

A 30-foot all-aluminum transportation barge, designed and manufactured by MonArk Boat

Company's Work Boat Division at Monticello,

Ark., has been delivered to the Panama Canal

Commission to aid in their survey operation.

John Smith, national sales manager for

MonArk, said the boat's shallow draft makes it an excellent choice for loading and off-loading equipment and supplies in shallow water. The barge will hold a Vi -ton pickup truck, farm trac- tors, mobile equipment and maintenance gear.

The barge has an 8,000-pound capacity, has a 12-foot beam, and is powered by twin AQAD40/ 290 Volvo I/O diesels (165 hp each). Speed in light condition is 28.5 knots (32 mph), and in loaded condition, 24 knots (27.5 mph).

A spacious cargo bay is 21 feet 8 inches and 7 feet 6 inches wide. The bifold ramp is operated by two 12-volt 9,000-pound-capacity electric winches.

Multipurpose Cargo Ship

Launched At Jansen Werft Yard

Drawing of recently launched M/V Nordland.

The multipurpose cargo vessel Nordland (hull no. 179) contracted by Nordland Schiffahrtsges. mbH of Dorpen, West Germany, was recently christened and launched at ceremonies held at

Jansen Werft's Leer yard in West Germany. The sponsor of the vessel was Miss Tiina Valve, daughter of Veijo Valve, managing director of

Nordland Papier GmbH of Dorpen.

The 416 V'2 -foot vessel has a breadth of 66 feet and a design draft of 26 lA feet. Her main pro- pulsion will be provided by a Krupp MaK four- stroke marine diesel engine, type 8M551. The ship's speed will be approximately 16 knots, based upon a deadweight of 8,500 tons at a draft of 26 feet.

The design of the Nordland was developed in close cooperation between the owners and the contractual owners, Baum & Co. of Nordenham,

West Germany.

She has a capacity of 476 TEUs, and connec- tions for 30 refrigerated containers will be installed. The newbuilding has folding-type hatch covers, and two hydraulically operated 20- ton-capacity cranes and two 30-ton-capacity cranes will be installed

The vessel was outlined according to the latest

IMO rules for dangerous cargo. Her nautical and navigation equipment will be of the latest tech- nology, with "ship of the future" design being considered for her wheelhouse arrangement, lifesaving equipment and accommodations.

Especially significant is that the vessel will receive the highest ice class, Finnish 1A Super, enabling her to operate in the Baltic Sea area.

Republic Of China Submarine

Christened At Wilton-Fijenoord

A naming ceremony has held recently at Dok- en Werf-Maatschappij Wilton-Fijenoord B.V. in

The Netherlands for the Sea Dragon, first of two submarines under construction for the Republic of China/Taiwan. The naming was performed by

Mrs. Hoh-tu Liu, wife of the managing director of the Far East Trade Office.

The two submarines were under construction in a covered graving dock at the yard. In order to undock the Sea Dragon, both vessels had to be floated in the dock. After the Sea Dragon was towed out to be moored in Wilton harbor, the second sub was repositioned on her blocks and the dock pumped out.
