Porter 17 Battery Place, New York, N Y. 10004 • Phone 212-943-8795 Brazilian Yard To Build 51,000-Dwt Bulkers Contracts have been signed between Verolme Estaleiros Reunidos do Bra- sil S.A.-Jacuacanga/Brazil and Com- panhia de Navegacao do Vale de Rio Doce "Docenave"-Rio de Janeiro for the construction of two 51,000-dwt bulk carriers for Docenave. Classed by the American Bureau of Shipping, the vessels will have the following characteristics and approxi- mate measurements: overall length 674 feet, breadth 98 feet, and a 40- foot draft. The main engine will be of Sulzer-type 6RD90. Delivery of the vessels is planned for early and middle 1974, and they are to be used for the strongly ex- panding ore transport from Brazil, in which Companhia Vale do Rio Doce plays an important role. For the yard, this means a further increase of its order book of larger vessels. The ships are part of the shipbuilding program sponsored by the Brazilian Government. Norwegian Gas Turbine Manufacturer Sells License To Kobe Steel Representatives for Kobe Steel Ltd., manufacturers of steel ma- chinery and processing plants, and A/S Kongsberg Vapenfabrikk, a ma- jor Norwegian industrial concern, have signed a licensing agreement giving Kobe Steel Ltd. manufactur- ing rights for Kongsberg gas turbines in the Japanese market. With the final negotiations con- cluded, B. Hurlen, managing di- rector of A/S Kongsberg Vapenfab- rikk, stated: "The signing of the agreement marked an important step in the international marketing of in- ternational Kongsberg gas turbines. Japan is a significant market for the type of prime mover developed by Kongsberg, particularly in the marine sector, as realized by the early de- liveries made for on-board installa- tions before the agreement was con- cluded. License agreements have overcome trade and geographical ob- stacles and are helping to result in a more effective worldwide marketing of Kongsberg gas turbines." The Viking gas turbines are devel- oped by Kongsberg specifically for marine and industrial applications. In addition to their manufacturing activities, Kobe Steel will also assume full systems engineering responsibility for the various types of applications for this gas turbine engine. In the ma- rine field, major applications are standby generating sets for super- tankers, inert gas systems, bow thrust- er drive, and hydraulic pump drive.
