Port Weller Dry Docks Delivers Bulk Carrier With Fuel Efficient Hull A maximum Seaway-size 34,- 000-dwt self-unloading bulk car- rier incorporating a new hull de- sign for reducing fuel consump- tion was christened at Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, On- tario, recently. The 730-foot ship was named Canadian Enterprise by Maureen McTeer, wife of Can- ada's Prime Minister. It was built for Upper Lakes Shipping Ltd. of Toronto, and is the third self unloader of this size delivered by the shipyard to Upper Lakes Shipping in the past three years. The Canadian Enterprise is similar in all respects except one to the Canadian Transport, wh;ch was christened at the yard last April. The one difference is the design of the stern. Below the waterline are what appear to be the tops of two half tunnels which direct a greater volume of water against the propeller. Because of this feature, the ship's medium- speed diesel engine will develop the same amount of thrust as an engine with greater horsepower, resulting in a saving in fuel of about 10 percent. Canadian Enterprise is equipped with the latest type of cargo re- claimer and automated console NOW!
