4 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News "I KNOW HE'S GOOD, I TRAINED HIM • ^Wll If you think the shipyard business is all nuts and bolts, you're wrong. It's a people business, plain and simple. The best yards are the ones with the most experienced supervisors, and the best-trained workers. Bill Greenwood, top photo, is a great example. He's one of the last great Coppersmiths in our business. An artist with copper, galvanized and stainless. Like most of our key men, Bill's been with us almost forever — about 36 years. Bill and our other senior people do more than just supervise jobs. They spend years as teachers. Passing on their skills to younger men like Gene Stafford. Gene is well on his way to being one of the best. In fact, Gene now does what Bill did, which gives Bill a little more time to fish. What you get from us is a well-trained, intelligent, motivated work force. And that saves you and us hassles and, especially money Sure, we've got nuts and bolts too, and all the stuff the other yards have. And in Savannah we've got beautiful year-round weather, so there are fewer delays than up north. But the main reason to come to Savannah is Bill Greenwood, Gene Stafford and our other heavy hitters. Remember, to do a job once - correctly - a yard needs skilled people. Because that is what saves you time and money on your voyage repairs, major conversions, alterations, or drydocking. Savannah Shipyard Co. You can't find a better yard anywhere. Ttelex 546426 SAVMACSHIP SAV, PO. Box 787, Savannah, Ga. 31402. Telephone (912) 233-6621.

Communication equipment, including electronic navigation, will be state of the art when the ship is delivered to Aalborg Vaerft in mid-1985.

The Mount Taygetos is one of Hitachi Zosen's economical Panamax standardized bulk carriers — the largest capable of sailing through the Panama Canal. It is designed to carry various kinds of bulk cargo including grain, ore, and coal. The ship's upper wing tanks may take on grain, thus increasing its carrying capacity. The main propulsion is then provided by a Hitachi B&W 7L67GA-type diesel engine with a derating control of engine output. The bulk carrier is fitted with an HZ nozzle for improved propulsion efficiency. The vessel measures 224.50 meters long The Mount Taygetos is powered by a Hitachi B&W overall, with a breadth of 32.20 meters, and main engine. a designed full-load draft of 12.40 meters.

Ship modules can be moved by LTI's newly introduced semi-trailers that are hauled by forklifts. LTI America Corp. of Riverdale, N.J., re- get the best cently introduced a unique range of forklift truck-hauled semi-trailers. These hydraulically operated, easily towed, self-loading and unloading trailers with capacities from 10 to 300 tons stretch the load-moving capacity of standard forklift trucks up to 10 times their normal design limits. A brochure illustrating a variety of applications has been published by LTI. The trailer — easily hooked up to the forklift — is backed in under the load. The trailer platform is then raised hydraulically using the forklift's hydraulic system. At the maximum height, the lifting cylinders are completely relieved through a system of linkage arms, and the forklift is ready to transport the load to the desired location. The brochure shows how the movement of heavy loads, typical in the steel fabricating, steel warehousing, heavy metals, offshore oil, and shipbuilding industries, can easily and economically be accomplished by existing personnel and equipment without assistance of expensive mobile cranes and lowloaders.
