COAL RETURNS TO The first coal-fired steamships in two decades will be powered by C-E designed boilers. Naturally. Combustion Engineering has long been a world leader in both marine boilers and coal-firing technology. So it's only natural that C-E boilers were selected to power the first coal-fired steamships ordered in 20 years. The two 75,750-ton bulk carriers will be built by Italcantieri, SpA for Bulkships Limited of Australia. Franco Tosi, C-E's Italian licensee, will manufacture the boilers. C-E modified a proven marine boiler design to permit coal-firing via a spreader stoker. But we retained the conserva- tive furnace rating, superheater design with vertical arrangement and wide tube spacing, and in-line main bank tubes that have been the hallmark of our oil-fired boilers. Economical coal-fired marine boilers are expected to appear in increasing numbers on the worlds oceans in the 80s. Many countries, eager to lessen their dependence on oil as the major source of energy, are planning a significant number of new coal-fired electric generating stations. C-E is ready with the technology and the know-how needed to build the new marine boilers for the coal-fired steam- ships that will provide economical coal transport for these new stations.
