Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Contracts With Siemens For PTO Generators Siemens has been awarded a con- tract by Pennsylvania Shipbuilding Company of Chester, Pa., to supply the PTO generating systems for three Navy oilers, the T-AO 191, 192 and 194. Each shipset consists of two 2,500-kw constant frequency PTO generators being driven off the main reduction gear.

This will allow APL to contract with a ship- yard (or yards) abroad for the con- struction of six bulk carrier/contain- erships for operation on its trans- Pacific trade routes. The new vessels will be consid- ered replacements for six container- ships in APL's current fleet, and will be eligible for wages-only oper- ating differential subsidy for a crew of 21 per ship. The ODS will not cover other items such as mainte- nance and insurance, nor will it be paid when "premium-rated" gov- ernment preference cargoes are car- ried. St. Philip Towing Announces Sale Of Oceangoing Tug And Barge Fleet « St. Philip Towing's tug Tampa is one of the most powerful shipdocking-assist tugs oper- ating in a U.S. port. William H. Young, president of St. Philip Towing and Transporta- tion Co., headquartered in Tampa, Fla., has announced the sale of its oceangoing tug and barge fleet to TECO Transport & Trade Corpora- tion. "The sale of our oceangoing tug and barge fleet will enable us to aggressively pursue expansion and diversification," said Mr. Young. "We have been seeking to move ahead and, with the capital gener- ated by the sale of our oceangoing equipment, we can focus our efforts on development and implementa- tion of growth plans in the harbor operations segment of our busi- ness." St. Philip recently introduced the tug Tampa, one of the most power- ful shipdocking-assist tugs currently operating in a U.S. port. A second vessel similar to the tug Tampa is planned. The company also recently introduced the tug Thomas into the Mobile harbor operation. This craft is equipped with the latest technolo- gy and brings to the Mobile ship- assist business the company's first tractor tug. Mr. Young stated that expansion plans could include other ports. St. Philip Towing maintains a fleet of 24 vessels, following the sale of the oceangoing division, and op- erates a substantial harbor opera- tions system in the Port of Tampa, Port Manatee, and St. Peterburg in Florida and Port of Mobile in Ala- bama.
