<BODY> <div> Parsons Brinckerhoff Will Develop Boston Container Terminal The Boston office of Parsons Brinckerhoff, the engineering, ar- chitectural, and planning firm, is currently at work on a project that will transform the west end of the Massachusetts Port Au- thority's Castle Island Terminal into a modern container terminal. This is a first step in significantly increasing the container-handling capacity of Boston Harbor. When completed, the South Boston Terminal located across the Harbor from Logan Airport, will be upgraded to include a 1,000- foot berth, two container cranes, and a 10-acre upland area with terminal support facilities. Ground-breaking ceremonies are expected to take place this month. The scope of work includes de- tailed inspection of the existing marginal timber wharf, rehabili- tating and upgrading the wharf foundation, extending the wharf deck, and adding crane rail foun- dations to support the crane run- way. Due to airplane glide path limitations near the airport, low profile cranes will be specified. Further steps in the rehabilita- tion call for the design of three buildings—an administrative cen- ter, a service garage, and an em- ployee facility—as well as the de- sign of all new utilities, security fencing, and ship's services. Parsons Brinckerhoff will fol- low the project through to com- pletion, with construction man- agement services geared toward keeping Castle Island Terminal's busy shipping schedule in oper- ation while the conversion is un- derway. A fast-track design and construction schedule is being used to achieve startup in the first quarter of 1981. Common Brothers U.S.A. Appoints Leo McKay Common Brothers U.S.A.

Free Bulletin Offered On Marine Alternators For Work, Crew, Supply Boats A free technical bulletin just released by the LIMA Electric Company, Inc., Lima, Ohio, com- pletely describes the company's SER^ (Synchronous Externally Regulated) Alternators for ma- rine applications. The 361 and 441 Frame SER 1,200 RPM brushless alternators are built especially for use on work, crew, supply and fish boats because of the low noise and vi- bration levels associated with lower engine operating speed. They are easily adaptable to all makes of 1,200 RPM marine gen- set engines. LIMA alternator foot mounting is directly interchangeable with most 1,200 RPM alternators in service, allowing easy field re- placement. Standard LIMA 1,200 RPM SER Alternators have ABS approval, which simplifies certi- fication of particular units for specific hulls. For copies of the free literature or more information on 1,200 RPM alternators, write to J.D. Bourque, Sales Manager, Lima Electric Company, 200 East Chap- man Road, Lima, Ohio 45802.
