RoRo Report product containers - the technologically-driven SECU (Stora Enso Cargo Unit) container - measures 45 x 12 x 12 ft. (13.8 x 3.6 x. 3.6 m), with an endloading door. The SECUs can hold up to 70 tons of cargo, where they will be stowed on the lower hold, main deck and part of the weather deck via a translifter. Benefiting the most from this revolution are transportational outlets, specifically the coordination between Sweden's rail network, North Sea traffic and Europe's inland water- Main Particulars Flag Dutch Classification Bureau Veritas Length, (o.a.) 602 ft.

Dutch shipping company, Wagenborg Scheepvaart, the benefactor of these Netherlands-flagged vessels, is chartering the trio to Belgium-based Cobelfret Ferries N.V. Noteworthy of their single-propeller driven power, the Bureau Veritas classed RoRos are equipped with a low speed crosshead diesel engine (7RTA 52 U) type with an output of 10,920 kW at 135-rpm. The engine plant's foreship location frees up the cargo holds from internals, mainly engine casings, which might block the cargo intake. Holds have been squared off for utmost use of cargo decks. In addition to trans- porting Storaboxes, the vessels can carry trailers, trucks, containers, private cars and general cargo. Touted as environmentally-friendly, the low fuel con- sumption, high cargo capacity vessels' propulsion machinery will burn low-sulphur heavy oil, while their plants will be equipped with exhaust emission treat- Anti-heeling system Frank Mohn Reduction gears Wartsila Deck machinery Mester, Brohl Shafting Radomir, Leko Bearings A.

The lack of air pressure poses no operational problems, due to an auto- matic one-way valve which closes as soon as the pressure drops below 1 bar, this prevents back flow in the bubbling line towards the transmitter. Over pressure is also protected against by an automatic one-way valve. • It's the size of a grapefruit • Explosion proof housing • Accuracy .3% full scale • Automatic over-pressure valve • Automatic stop valve for air failure • Automatic cleaning of bubbling line • Connection for pressurized tanks • 2 pair 24 VDC and 4-20mA cable • Top or side mount Many Options ELECTRONIC MARINE SYSTEMS, INC. 800 Ferndale Place Rahway, NJ 07065 Call today for more information! 732.382.4344 732.388.5111 fax emsmarcon@aol.com e-mail http://www.emsmarcon.com A CRANE CO.
