Port Of Tyne
Orders Container
Crane From Liebherr
The Port of Tyne Authority, of the
United Kingdom, is spending about $7.23 million to extend a quay in order to facilitate panamax opera- tions, and to expand container fa- cilities which serve the North Sea feeder routes.
The port has ordered a quayside crane from Liebherr Container
Cranes Ltd. to be used for container and bulk handling. The crane will have a waterside outreach of about 80 feet, a rail span of 119.8 feet and a backreach of 32.8 feet. Spreader height will be 68.2 feet above the ground. The capacity is 32 tons under telescopic spreader and 20 tons gross grab weight.
The crane drive control system will be a Liebherr designed and built
Thyrovert system of thyristor regu- lation. The switchgear will be fitted with a fault diagnostics system and a Liebherr telescopic spreader will be installed on the crane.
Delivery of the crane is scheduled for early 1993 and will be manufac- tured, assembled and tested at
Liebherr in Killarney, Ireland.

FCC Proposes Use
Of VTS Radio System
For Port Of San Francisco
The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has proposed that the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) radio protection system be made mandatory for all tankers and large cargo ships using the Port of

The FCC would like to make VHF channel 14 the designated VTS chan- nel for the port.
The VTS system was designed to prevent collisions and groundings by requiring as a result of mandat- ing that all vessels report their move- ments while operating within a VTS zone.
