MacGREGOR (USA) Inc PO Box 708 Pine Brook New Jersey 07058 USA MacGREGOR Circle 247 on Reader Service Card March 1, 1999, is a member of Linde- nau's Tanker Class 2000 featuring inter- nationally patented Lindenau bulbous bows - allowing the vessels to reach speeds of 14.8 knots at a constant engine output of 2,920 kW. Adding to Linde- nau's trademark bows, which allow for high speed at low fuel consumption, Sil- ver River fulfills all relevant regulations such as MARPOL, IMO Resolutions and Charter Requirements. Advantageous features of this vessel include minimum risk of environmental pollution, increased collision resistance, minimum effort for tank cleaning and minimum loss of energy for heated cargo. Silver River's high flexibility due to various cargo tank sizes and high cargo tank volume also offers a centralized cargo control via control desk in the cargo control room - providing econom- ical and practical automated cargo and ballast handling. Consisting of Framo hydraulic-driven pumps, which are directly connected to five manifold lines, the vessel can carry up to ten different cargoes - separate loading and discharging up to five car- goes is possible. All valves, except the manifold valves are remote-controlled from the control desk in the cargo con- trol room. Ballast valves and pumps are also controlled from the cargo room. Silver River is suitable for transport- ing oil and chemical products in 11 cargo/sloptanks and has a larger loading flexibility due to its well-balanced dam- age stability and increased longitudinal strength.
