Polarmarine Introduces New Concept In Tank Cleaning —Literature Available Polarmarine Ltd. of London has developed an entirely new concept in tank cleaning with the unique feature of two, three or more nozzles at different levels within the tank driven by a single control unit. Free literature is now available fully describing the new system. This new invention from Polar- marine is a product designed to meet today's stringent requirements of cleaning in (a) chemical carriers, especially with narrow tanks with "shadow" creating steel structure such as horizontal corrugations, stringers or longitudinals; and (b) oil tankers, especially in stringer areas of wingtanks or sloptanks. With the new Polar Jet PJ 603 series, one unit can replace up to three deck-mounted standard units in chemical carriers or replace a standard deck-mounted one and submerged machines in oil tankers. This not only reduces high installa- tion costs but also, by the PJ 603 programming possibilities, consid- erably reduces operating costs. Polar Jet PJ 603 series can be delivered with either Polar Jet por- table air-driven lightweight control units A-model or integrated turbine driven control units T-models, both of Polar Jet well-known and proven designs easy to understand and pro- gram, and with exceptional reliabili- ty. Below deck the new machine is based on the standard Polar Jet design but instead of one nozzle rotating on the main pipe, this new model can be delivered with two, three or more nozzles at different tailormade levels. Sketch showing the new cleaning concept. The unit is self-draining and also self-cleaning. t i-r') Drawing of a PJ 603 A model.

Gerrard of Kristiansand has founded a new shipowning compa- ny, Gerrard Shipping Company A/S, and purchased the 125,000-dwt specialized tanker Gerina from his existing company. At the same time, he established an operating compa- ny for the ship, Gerrard Manage- ment Company A/S. Purchase of the Gerina was financed by Den norske Creditbank. The ship was delivered by the Swedish Uddevallavarvet yard in 1980, and was retrofitted for buoy loading of oil in 1985. The vessel is currently under charter to Statoil, the state-owned Norwegian oil com- pany, transporting oil from the Statfjord Field in the North Sea.
