Port Of Montreal Plans Improvement Of Container Facilities The second largest container port on the East Coast, the Port of Mon- treal, recently announced long-term plans to develop new container fa- cilities on the outskirts of Mon- treal. According to port officials, the new facilities would be located on the St. Lawrence River at Contre- coeur, about 25 miles from Mon- treal. The projected cost for a three- berth container terminal would ini- tially cost about $C40 million. The 300-acre site is expected to be devel- oped within three to five years. Since 1927 WALTFH keel coolers ECONOMICAL & COMPLETELY RELIABLE 3 Models to choose from; 2 with only 1 thru-hull fitting; greater flexibility in installation, reduces time and costs. BETTER MATERIALS! Bronze fittings, monel fastenings, 70% Cu-30% Ni Turbo Tube—stronger & more corrosion resistant than 90-10. Grooved Turbo Tube design gives more heat exchange than smooth, round or rectangular tubing. Consequently, a shorter cooler is required. SPIRAL GROOVES MAXIMIZE HEAT f TURBO TUBE TRANSFER BETTER DESIGN! Aircraft-type flexible double o-ring construction, proven for over 35 years, eliminates problem of cracked brazed joints & expensive repair. Tubes can twist axially & longi^ tudinally to conform to hull curvature. L Can be recessed into hull I Streamlined design, unlike bulky box-type coolers, detachable in minutes without disturbing inboard plumbing. BETTER ENGINEERING! 50 years of experience allows us to publish over 700 computer-aided recommendations; hundreds more in our files. Complete line of models & sizes always in stock ensures fast delivery to cool any propulsion & generator engine, transmission, aftercooler & intercooler. w THE WALTER MACHINE CO.

The frigate had sustained heavy damage in the spring of last year when she was struck by two Exocet missiles fired by an Iraqi jet in the Persian Gulf. The original estimates to repair the damage were sent at around $142 million, but the Navy and Ingalls reportedly were able to hold costs under $90 million. Cummins-Powered Crewboat Being Built At Matsumo Yard For Esso Resource Canada An unusual crewboat for ferrying oil field workers across the Macken- zie River in Canada's Northwest Territories is nearing completion at Matsumoto Shipyard, Ltd., on the Dollarton waterfront of North Van- couver, British Columbia, for Esso Resources Canada Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta. The 39-foot aluminum boat, named the R.W. MacKinnon, is un- usual in several respects: power is provided by a pair of Cummins 6BTA5.9-M diesel engines, propul- sion is furnished by Parker waterjet units manufactured in England, and equipment includes a bow ramp for transferring passengers directly to and from the river's sandy shores. Designed for shallow water use, the 13-foot-beam 20,000-pound (fully outfitted) personnel carrier— capable of carrying 16 passengers— will be nosed onto the beach for rap- idly accommodating drilling, con- struction and field operation per- sonnel being shuttled between the mainland and artificial and natural islands where the wells are located. The Cummins new 6BTA5.9-M diesel engine is a turbocharged, af- tercooled engine of an in-line, six- cylinder configuration that weighs only 1,250 pounds with marine gear. The engine develops 220 horsepow- er at 2,500 rpm. Minimal weight and high horsepower were needed in this type of boat to achieve the 20 knots specified for performance. Esso's new crewboat R.W. MacK- innon will be one of the last boats emerging from the yard. At the age of 70, Isami (Sam) Matsumoto Isamu Matsumoto stands near the 39-foot Cummins-powered crewboat R.W. MacKin- non just prior to its completion. Mr. Matsu- moto is retiring after 40 years of boatbuild- ing in the same location. is retiring after building boats at the same location for four decades For free literature giving full de- tails on Cummins engines, Circle 41 on Reader Service Card Triple A Awarded $409,249 MarAd Contract The Maritime Administration re- cently awarded a $409,249 repair contract to Triple A Machine Shop, Richmond, Calif., for work on the Golden Bear, the training vessel of the California Maritime Academy.
