The first vessel utilizing the tech- nique will be a 142-foot long paddlewheeler with 22 passenger cabins for 44 passengers, plus living quarters for 12 crew. It will be operated in weekly cruises on in- land waters. By utilizing fiberglass panel con- struction that employs a Balsa Baltek core and flame-retardant res- ins, CYC can produce structural bulkheads that have a smooth, fair gelcoat exterior surface with an in- terior surface ready for the designer's choice of wall treatments. CYC is reportedly the only builder in South Florida certified by the American Bureau of Shipping for composite fabrication. The building method has allowed Nautical Designs to develop scant- lings that allow for a simpler con- struction than would be needed for a steel or aluminum vessel, and the finished surfaces will be yacht-qual- ity without the thousands of man hours required to fair and paint a metal vessel to the same standard. Thus construction costs are quite competitive with comparably-fin- ished metal vessels. Nautical Designs has been estab- lished since 1985 and works on all types of vessels. The bulk of its business is in con- sultation to cruise lines and work- ing with yachts over 100 feet.

Contract Awarded To PWH For World's Largest Ship Unloader PWH Anlagen + Systeme GmbH, a company of Krupp Fordertechnik GmbH, Duisburg/Germany, re- ceived the order for a continuous ship unloader after a lengthy nego- tiation and development phase. It will reportedly be the biggest con- tinuous ship unloader ever built. With its handling rate of 2,300 t/ h, it will be able to unload an ocean- going vessel of up to 100,000 dwt. The customer is ENDESA Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, S.A., Madrid. The ship unloader is to handle imported coal in the port of Ferrol, Galicia. While PWH will supply the core components, super- vise installation and manage com- missioning, a large proportion of fab- rication and services will come from Spain. It is expected to be commis- sioned in January 1995.
