Daewoo-Built Vehicle Carriers To Have MacGregor-Navire Access Equipment South Korea is the latest nation to land an order for the building of the ship type known as the pure car/ truck carrier (PC/TC). Daewoo Shipbuilding, one of Korea's newest and most versatile yards, has en- tered the growing car carrier build- ing market with an order for con- struction of two 5,250-unit PC/TCs for Ugland, one of two Norwegian partners who constitute the Oslo- based HUAL car-carrying consor- tium. A comprehensive shipset of cargo access equipment designed by Mac- Gregor-Navire (Kayaba) Ltd.— MGN's Tokyo-based, joint venture partner in Japan—will provide effi- cient vehicle access and transfer. The ships' internal layout, particu- larly with regard to the positioning of the many adjustable ramps, was the subject of exhaustive study. De- signed to achieve the most efficient routing for wheeled cargo, the solu- tions were arrived at with computer- aided design (CAD) assistance. In brief, MGN (Kayaba) will sup- ply the following items of cargo access gear per ship: an angled stern ramp/door and side ramp/door; nine internal ramps and four internal ramp covers; four liftable car decks, each covering the complete cargo area; two mobile deck lifters; four shell doors, two for bunker and two for pilot access; and a main hydrau- lic pump station. Individual control stands/indicator panels will be pro- vided for each separate equipment item. The hydraulically operated quar- ter stern ramp/door, articulated into three sections, will open to angle at 35.5 degrees to the ship's center line and be hinged to the ship at Deck 5. Designed to sustain a unit load of 150 tons, it doubles as a watertight door closing the stern opening. The hydraulically operated side ramp/door is in two sections includ- ing flap. Hinged at Deck 5 (but adjustable to give access to Deck 6), it is designed for a maximum load of 22 tons, or an axle load of 13.6 tons on four wheels. The nine hydraulically operated internal ramps are designed to stow horizontally, flush with the sur- rounding deck, and to sustain the same loading as the deck. Ramps stowing on Deck 7 close to form a gas/watertight seal, while those on Decks 3, 9, and 11 are gastight only. All equipment will be designed, built, and fitted to comply with the construction and safety standards required for classification by Det norske Veritas.

The fact that these ships are de- signed for cargo-carrying versatility is indicated by the four integral decks being capable of sustaining three, six, and in the case of Deck 5, 12 times the weight of the car; and also by two key items of MGN access equipment—the four liftable car decks and the 150-ton-capacity stern ramp. A further indication of preparedness for a carry-all role is the fact that HUAL is to deploy the ships on round-the-world routes when they are delivered in the first and second quarters of 1987.

Work will be performed in Pascagoula, and is expected to be completed in May 1987. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washing- ton, D.C., is the contracting activity (N00024-85-C-2060). Workboat buyers don't like to talk about Fish Expo Their competitors might learn just how valuable Fish Expo is. In tact, over hall the exhibits overlap the workboat market and in a 800 booth show, that'll keep you busy for a while. Whether you're looking for a good shipyard, deck gear manufacturer or the best supplier for handling equip- ment, you'll find them at Fish Expo. And Fish Expo probably has more marine electronics exhibits than any other commercial marine show. The fact is that workboat buyers have been attending Fish Expo for years (all twenty of them). But they don't like to talk about it. You see, they think it gives them a competitive edge and this year, we're sharing the secret.
