<BODY> <div> NEI Syncrolift Receives Orders For Five New Lifts For Three Continents NEI Syncrolift of Miami, Fla., one of the world leaders in shiplift- ing technology, recently announced orders for five more Syncrolifts for locations around the world in Eu- rope, Japan and the Pacific. These new orders, worth a total of more than $3 million, bring the total of Syncrolifts installed or ordered to 187 units in 61 countries. One order is from the Italian Min- istry of Transport for three Syncro- lifts at the Tavernola Shipyard to service vessels operating on Lago di Como in Italy. A further order comes from Harbert International for a 12-hoist Syncrolift to be oper- ated at Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands for the U.S. Corps of Engi- neers, Honolulu. The fifth Syncro- lift demonstrates the flexibility of the Syncrolift system as it uses the components of a caisson lift origi- nally installed at Kashiwazaki in Japan. Some of the Syncrolift hoists and platform beams are being put to good use by the Japanese construc- tion company Penta-Ocean at the yard of Ishii Shipbuilding to handle vessels up to about 230 feet in length.

The new design is the Series 2000 double-hull tanker, developed by Rutger Deylin of Fram Shipping, in association with S.I. Shipping of Sweden. It incorporates a U.S.-pat- ented bow and stern design which has been tank tested. According to the designer and building team, tests have shown that the vessel requires less horsepower and fuel consumption than other hull de- signs. Two design configurations are available, one suitable for smaller ports such as Boston, and another for larger ports. According to a spokesman for Hvide Shipping Inc., Port Ever- glades, Fla., which is cooperating in the tanker project, Hvide is "looking forward to being operators, owners or managers of these type tankers. These tankers are made for the year 2000. They will meet the new strin- gent requirements of the Oil Spill Act of 1990." Meyer Werft Delivers Third In Series Of Six Gas Carriers For USSR Meyer Werft of Papenburg, Ger- many, recently delivered the LPG/ December, 1990 ammonia carrier Skriveri to AKP "Sovcomflot" of Moscow. This newbuilding is the third ship in a series of six gas carriers for the USSR. Upon completion of the se- ries by the autumn of 1991, the yard will have built a total of 45 liquefied gas tankers. In terms of tank vol- ume, this corresponds to 20 percent of the world fleet of gas tankers capable of carrying their cargo in both refrigerated and pressurized conditions. Like the other ships of the series, the Skriveri is owned by "Sovcom- flot" and will be operated on their behalf by Latvian Shipping Co., Riga. The ship is capable of carrying the following products; propane, bu- tane, propane-butane mixture, pro- pylene, butylene, butadiene, ammo- nia, vinyl chloride and propylene oxide. The 518-foot-long by 70-foot- wide Skriveri is propelled by one MAN B&W two-stroke main en- gine, type 6L50MCE. Electrical power is supplied by three MAN B&W generating sets with A. van Kaick generators.
