Krupp Builds New Docking Facility

The RoRo facility for ferry terminal I at Puttgaden is shown during construction.

Krupp Stahlbau Hannover GmbH and Krupp

Fodertechnik GmbH have been commissioned by German ferry operator Deutsche

Fahrgesellschaft Ostsee mbH (DFO) to build a double-decker hydraulically-adjusted link span for berth I at the Puttgarden ferry terminal.

This RoRo facility is used to load and unload the new double-ended ferries used by DFO and

Danish state railways (DSB).

The two ships operated by DFO were recently christened Schleswig-Holstein and

Deutschland.

Krupp Stahlbau Hannover was responsible for the steel structures of the new docking facil- ity, while Krupp Fodertechnik provided mechanical equipment.

Conoco Tanker Back To Work After

Collision

Pictured is Conoco tanker Guardian, featuring the gash sus- tained by the vessel during a recent collision.

Conoco tanker Guardian, credited with pre- venting a major oil spill in southwest Louisiana due to its double hull design, was expected to resume operations last month, after sustaining a 100 x 4 ft. gash during its October 31 collision with a tug-and-barge flotilla on the Calcasieu

River. Despite the tear, the vessel safely deliv- ered the 550,000 barrels of crude oil it was holding.
