The cargo loading system is able to load cargo from a conventional terminal alongside a dock; from an offshore Loading Station on the surface flexible hose type (OLS) in

Dynamic Positioning (DP) mode; and from an articulated loading platform in DP mode. The vessel's liquid cargo carrying capacity is 138,776 cu. m.

The Norwegian-flagged Elisabeth

Knutsen' classification is for a ves- sel designed and constructed for unrestricted ocean service in accor- dance with the DetNorske Veritas rules.

The design offers 194,000-cu.-ft. of insulated space for palletized cargo in two holds, subdivided by tweendecks to create a total of six refrigerated compartments. The

Sabroe Marine reefer plant pro- vides for frozen goods at constant temperatures down to minus 30 degrees C, for chilled cargo and fruit at zero degrees C or higher, for the transportation of banana cargoes at plus 13 degrees C, and for other temperature-sensitive cargoes at up to plus 15 degrees C.

The computer-controlled machinery is arranged for direct evaporation of R22, and has been

DAVITS \ II

The Single-Boom Davit is designed for lifting and lowering boats. A built-in swivel mechanism allows 360° rotation.

It's engineered in steel using standard industrial safety factors and the highest strength-to-weight ratio sections for ultimate lightness. Its slender profile and light weight make it suitable for shipboard use where deck space and weight are a premium. An optional watertight package makes the davit especially suitable for offshore use.

All models include power-up and power-down capabilities.

Power by air and hydraulics are also available including control packages that allow operation at hazardous locations. Rigging options outfit the davit to meet the special requirements of your boat. Capacities range from 500 to 5,000 lbs .
