Israel Ports Award Multimillion-Dollar Contract To Paceco The Paceco Portainers ordered by the Israel Ports Authority are similar to these at Rotterdam, Holland. The Israel Ports Authority has recently awarded Paceco, a di- vision of Fruehauf Corporation, Alameda, Calif., a multimillion- dollar contract for additional Paceco container-handling cranes for the Ports of Haifa and Ash- dod. The huge cranes are to be built at the Paceco facility in Gulfport, Miss., and shipped to Israel dur- ing the next two years, as com- pleted. Four Portainers (ship unload- ing cranes) and three Trans- tainers (terminal cranes) are in- volved in the new contract. All of the cranes will be Paceco's MACH (modular automated con- tainer handling) models, which have provisions for future auto- mation of the cranes. One of the huge Portainers is planned for the Port of Haifa and three are planned for the Port of Ashdod. The three large Transtainers are similar to those recently shipped from Gulfport on a pre- vious contract. These were the world's first MACH Transtainers (designed with provisions for fu- ture automation). Israel's greatest export is fruit. Plans are under way to container- ize shipments of oranges, which necessitates the purchase of the advanced container-handling equipment. 300 Ship Chandlers To Meet Sept. 22-26 In Washington, D.C.
