No Need To Remove Shaft For Bearing Change With Duramax Demountable Bearings Easily replaceable, demountable rubber stave bearings are now available from the Duramax Marine Division of The Johnson Rubber Com- pany. The individual staves of Duramax demount- able bearings can be assembled or replaced with- out shaft withdrawal. These keystone-sided, molded rubber staves slide into place without hindrance and can be removed as easily. Ship- builders and owners will benefit from this time saving feature since Duramax demountable bearings can cut the cost of bearing inspection and replacement by about one-half. Other bearings Duramax offers include metal backed stave bearings, with individually re- placeable staves to support extreme shaft loads, and Duramax sleeve and flanged bearings, which feature specially formulated nitrile rub- ber securely bonded to metallic or nonmetallic shells.

Ahrenkiel will be Mac- Gregor-Navire designed. Each 3,700-car capac- ity vessel will be fitted with an extensive access shipset that, in addition to the heavy-duty stern and side ramps, will include water/gastight doors, internal ramps, two complete liftable decks, and two mobile deck lifters. The equipment order was placed with MGN's Hong Kong office by Jiangnan Shipyard, one of the PRC's larger yards located in the port of Shanghai. Considered to be well equipped, Jiangnan will have the distinction of supplying the first large car carriers of modern design to be built in China. Both vessels are included for delivery in the first half of 1988. Designed by the Bremen office of the Swiss- based naval architect Maierform, each carrier will be able to load, besides cars, heavy vehicles over her 70-ton capacity MGN stern ramp, and up to 360 TEU in containers. To accommodate the 3,700 cars, there will be a total cargo area of 32,400 cubic meters distributed over nine decks. This includes the internal ramps and the 8,100- cubic-meter area provided by the two complete liftable decks that are being supplied in panel form by MGN.
