Gotaverken Orders Largest Floating Dock From Polish Shipyard The Polish shipyard Gdanska Stocznia Remontowa has been en- trusted with the construction of the world's largest floating dock to form part of Gotaverken's ex- panded and modernized ship repair yard at Gothenburg. The virtually new repair yard, in which approxi- mately $72,000,000 will be invested by 1975, will have four floating docks and one graving dock. With a lifting capacity of 55,000 tons, a length of about 951 feet and a clear width between the walls of about 180 feet, the new floating dock will be able to accommodate ships up to 200,000 deadweight tons —the biggest that can enter the Gota River. Unusually powerful cranes, including one capable of lifting 180 tons, are among many design and equipment features in- tended to ensure a fast and efficient execution of tasks such as major machinery and hull repairs, as well as routine bottom paintings. Spe- cial arrangements are being made to facilitate rudder and propeller work. The design of the dock envisages much more extensive use of pre- fabricated hull sections in ship re- pair work. The order was placed with the Gdansk yard through the state agency Navimor Foreign Trade Enterprise. The dock will be built to Lloyd's 'Class A, and is sched- uled for delivery in early 1976. RESILIENCY AND DEFLECTION MEAN ENERGY ABSORPTION ...WHICH MEANS PROTECTION, WITH BJ RUBBER FENDERS A BJ Rubber marine fender- ing system means never having to worry about things that go bump in the night... or scrape in the day, or bang and bounce around the clock. If you've put time and money into something that either floats or is around other things which float, you want to be darn sure no collision is going to put a costly crunch in your invest- ment. Whether you're responsible for the continued good health of a dock, a boat, a barge, a buoy or a floating platform, you won't find a stronger, longer- lasting tendering system than those made by the Borg-Warner engineers at BJ Rubber. Five complete systems (1) Extruded fenders in lengths up to 20 feet and in six basic shapes: cylindrical, rec- tangular, wing, "D" shape — "D" bore, "D" shape - "O" bore, "D" shape-sloped side. Easy to install, either sus- pended or bolted in place, they can be pre-curved before curing for installation on any config- uration. (2) Pushnee™Bumpers for barges, towboats, tugs — any vessel involved in contact operations. (3) Heavy-duty Modular Fend- ers — both flat type and "D" shape — that can be curved and combined for customized instal- lation. (4) Controlled Buckling Dock Fenders, big modern bruisers especially designed for use with movable pilings. (5) And our new Shear-Type Dock Fenders, which can ab- sorb a remarkable 200% deflec- tion load without a groan. The Neolastic" compound All our molded or extruded marine fendering systems are made of the powerful, perform- ance-proven Neolastic™ rubber compound formulated to resist every kind of assault. Sea water, marine growth, sunlight, ozone and fluctuating temperatures. All rubber-to-metal bonds are both chemical and mechanical for super strength and dura- bility. Basic or modified designs Our designs are simple enough to make installation fast and inexpensive. And if you have an unusual fendering prob- lem, our engineers will help you choose the basic or modified BJ system that will solve it. Want more information?
