Ships in Portland Harbor, for example, can have their lubricants tanks filled in mid-har- bor. No need to tie up at a dock. Shell distributor, Golten Ship Repair, sends out the Aubrey L. Hudgins. The little 95-gross-ton tanker has a ca- pacity of 48,000 gallons of lube oils. Advantages to motorships The Hudgins pulls alongside a newly arrived ship. One man hooks up the connection and opens the ship's intake valve. Another man watches the sight in the ship's engine room. That's all there is to it. No cranes. No cargo nets. No tank trucks needed on a pier. It's a speedy tank-to-tank delivery system that involves very little chance of product con- tamination, and no interference with cargo han- dling operations. The time for the turnaround is trimmed. Money is saved for the ship's operator.
