B&W Christens Seventh In

Series Of Product Tankers * I t) *

The M/T Chrisholm has a double skin and double deck that contribute to safety as well as insulating the cargo against thermal loss and overheating from the sun.

Burmeister & Wain recently celebrated the naming of its new building No. 923, the seventh in a series of Panamax product tankers, type

CP54E built by the yard during the last two years.

The vessel, named the M/T Chris- holm, was contracted by K/S Christiansholm, a partnership of Danish tax investors. Scheduled to be delivered next month, the tanker will be operated by the Norwegian shipowners Torvald

Klaveness & Co. A/S, and is the first of two sister vessels.

The M/T Chrisholm has an overall length of 750 feet, breadth of 106 feet, and a design draft of 38 feet. Propulsion is by one five-cylinder, two-stroke MAN B&W diesel engine of the new

L70MCE type, developing 10,900 bhp at 84 mcr and turning a four-bladed propeller with a diameter of about 23 . feet.

The vessel is built to Det norske Veritas class.

Stanspec Corporation's

Rightway Car Puller

Offers New Features

As a special optional feature, frame-mounted sheaves have been integrated into the design of the popular Rightway ERP Long Distance Car

Puller from Stanspec Corporation.

These heavy-duty sheaves allow the user to pre-set the level of the main haulage rope which results in greater control and operational flexi- bility. Construction costs are reduced since the

New Rightway ERP Long Distance Car Puller features frame-mounted sheaves for added control and economy.

December, 1987 built-in sheaves eliminate the need for separate foundations which are required for remote sheave placement. Less space is required and overall system layout can be improved.

The ERP model provides constant torque and constant speed features and requires no bulky counterweight system. It can be used for unlim- ited distances and for pulling in either direction with controlled braking.

Standard capacities range from 500 to 15,000 pounds. Special models are available with ca- pacities up to 50,000 pounds.

The design of the Volvo-Penta powered workboat Folke was developed by Docksta from a series of pilotboats built by the yard in 1986. The raised location of the wheelhouse permits good visibility aft.

DRYDOCKED DRYDOCK—A routine maintenance job on its 500-ton capacity drydock created this not-so-routine right at Marco Seat- tle when the shipyard lifted the smaller dock in its 1,800-ton counterpart to do the work. Both of the steel drydocks were designed and built by

Marco.
