AND ENGINEERING NEWS Mitsubishi Delivers 263,600-Dwt Tanker SEPTEMBER 15, 1974 To Texaco Subsidiary (SEE PAGE 7) SANKO STEAMSHIP CO., LTD. selects the System for 59 of its new ships The 139,000 dwt KAIKO MARU, one of a group of eight vessels of this size being equipped with the PrimaVac System. • It is with great pride that we serve this pro- gressive company whose fleet will include over 200 vessels totalling in excess of 20,000,000 dwt by the end of 1974. Our contribution to the performance of 59 of these ships is a system that converts any centrifugal pump to an auto- matic, self-priming pump, reducing pumping and stripping time over 30%. This system completely eliminates costly in- dependent stripping pumps and priming sys- tems. It is not dependent upon auxiliary controls, is easily installed and operates with minimum maintenance. The PrimaVac System is being installed on tankers of the Sanko Fleet ranging from 26,000 to 154,000 dwt. Other installations throughout the world have been made on tankers from 20,000 to 255,000 dwt with pump capacities from 625 to 20,000 gpm. Systems can be furnished for any pump size and capacity, with standard units available with discharge diameters of up to 30 inches.

AND STILL Nearly $84 million has been appropriated for a four-to-five- year project at Ashdod Port on ON SCHEDULE the Mediterranean, where plans include the construction of a sec- ond containership pier, a phos- phate pier, grain silo and ware- house, and renewal of existing equipment. The Government has also given the go-ahead to the building of a container pier at the Red Sea port of Eilat. Estimated cost of that project is about $14,300,000. Still on the drawing boards are plans to in- crease by 3i/2 times the capacity YOU WIN of the Port of Gaza.
