The gigantic hull structure of the first in a series of three 250,000-dwt VLCCs built for

World Wide Shipping Agency Ltd. of Hong

Kong is rapidly taking shape at Hyundai Heavy

Industries' (HHI) Ulsan shipyard.

Classed by Lloyd's Register of Shipping as + 100A1, "Oil Tanker,'" the vessel will have highly advanced automatic systems which will enable the control and monitoring of all essen- tial functions with regard to the ship's opera- tion, starters and generator power management system, etc.

The new VLCC will have a length of about 1,0561/2 feet, beam of 184 feet, and depth of 97 feet, with a design draft of 65 feet. Powered by a low-speed Hyundai-MAN B&W 6S80MC main engine, she will be sailing at a service speed of 14.80 knots with normal continuous rating of 21,852 bhp.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery in July.

Her two sisters are currently waiting for con- struction.

HHI recently received large VLCC orders, including World Wide which booked three 250,000-dwt VLCCs in 1986. The yard has 12

VLCCs on its orderbook, most of 250,000-dwt and 254,000-dwt class.

BARGES WANTED

The New York City Dept. of Ports, International Trade and

Commerce (PITC) seeks steel-hull, flat deck barges for purchase. PITC seeks only barges that are in good condition.

These barges are planned for use as docking facilities for ferry boats landing at various New York City piers. PITC wishes to acquire barges of two types:

Spud Barges: Must be at least 100 ft. in length, 30 ft. in width, and with a depth no greater than 9 ft. Must possess minimum of two steel spuds each at least 50 ft. long.

Barge surface must be unobstructed and suitable for pedestrian traffic. Barges with cranes or other equipment on them will not be considered.

Car Floats: Acceptable lengths range from 200 ft. to 300 ft.

Acceptable widths range from 30 ft. to 45 ft. Maximum depth no greater than 9 ft. Barge surface must be unob- structed, suitable for pedestrian traffic and free of railroad tracks.

This advertisement is not a request for bids, is for informa- tional purposes only, and is intended to assist PITC in identi- fying potential barge sellers. Exact specifications and addi- tional information can be obtained by contacting: Mr. Charles

N. Kriss, Director of Contracts and Procurement, New York

City Department of Ports, International Trade and Com- merce, Battery Maritime Building New York, New York 10004. 212-806-6752. cable generators and marine gears. Service un- der these plans will be available at Caterpillar authorized facilities in the U.S. and Canada.

Both plans cover defects in workmanship or material not only in major engine, generator, and marine gear components, but in all noncon- sumable parts such as supply and return lines, bolts, spacers, and gaskets.

The coverage, which the manufacturer says costs only pennies per operating hour, can be obtained for 36- or 60-month periods and for specific service hour lengths ranging from 2,000 hours for some engines up to 21,000 hours for others. It is available exclusively to the first user of the covered Cat Engine and may be bought any time before the standard warranty period expires. The extended service coverage period begins when the standard warranty period ends.

To meet coverage provisions, owners must fol- low Caterpillar's standard Operation & Mainte- nance Management Guides for their engine and related attachments.
