Liebherr Wins Large
Gantry Crane Order
From Japanese Shipbuilder
Liebherr-Werk Nenzing, Austria,
recently received a large ships gan-
try crane order from Japanese ship-
builder Tsuneishi. The order, for
three plus one multipurpose con-
tainer-handling, jib-type gantry
cranes of Liebherr's well-known
type MPS with lifting capacities of
45 tons, underlines this maker's ex-
pertise in the field.
The portal cranes will be installed
on three container feeder vessels of
950-TEU capacity, contracted be-
tween A.P. Moeller and the ship-
yard.
This latest order for Liebherr fol-
lows other recent contracts for six
type CCB gantry cranes, delivered
to the Danish shipyard Odense for
USA owner Crowley, and a further
four CCB gantries supplied to Ital-
ian Fincantieri shipyard in Trieste,
again for an American owner, name-
ly Castle & Cook.
The current work load in Lieb-
herr's Nenzing factory includes 48
high-speed deck cranes of seven
tons capacity, a special design de-
nominated BW to be installed in 12
reefers presently under construction
at the Kleven yard in Norway for a
consortium of Scandinavian owners.
Further orders for the high-capacity
BW cranes are presently being exe-
cuted, including six 25 toners and 40
of 50 tons capacity.
On the offshore crane side, a con-
siderable number of cranes for the
British, Norwegian and Dutch sec-
tors of the North Sea are in hand,
not only in Nenzing but also in
Liebherr's newest setup in Sunder-
land, where production started at
the beginning of this year.

LQMoffitt Merges
With BFGoodrich
With the recent merger of Lucian
Q. Moffitt, Inc., with the BFGood-
rich Company, LQMoffitt opera-
tions have become part of the Dy-
namic Polymer Products business
unit of the BFGoodrich Aerospace
Division.
While BFGoodrich assumes the
ongoing business relationships of
former LQMoffitt, the previous
company's sales and customer ser-
vice personnel will continue to han-
dle inquiries and orders. Manufac-
turing facilities for Cutless® brand
bearings and related marine indus-
try products remain at their same
locations. Field warehouse opera-
tions will also be maintained and
continually upgraded.
The Dynamic Polymer Products
business unit is also responsible for
Torsilastic® springs and other spe-
cialty molded products for transpor-
tation, commercial, industrial, and
government markets.
The change was made to enhance
customer service and product quali-
ty through more efficient operations
and coordination under a unified
management structure, according to
Ian R. Stopps, new general man-
ager of BFGoodrich Dynamic Poly-
mer Products.
Marketing, sales and engineering
offices have been moved to a new
BFGoodrich location. They may be
