Future TankersTo Be BiggerAnd Simpler

The tanker of tomorrow will be big-ger, simpler in design, and more auto-mated and will carry a smaller crew,Joseph Andreae, assistant manager ofthe Marine Division of Humble Oil &Refining Company told the DefenseSupply Association Convention inWashington, 1). C.

Andreae said that foreign tankerusers and owners mav settle on a maxi-mum size of 80 to 120.000 tonnerswhile American flag coastwise tankerswill probably be in the range of 50,000tons. At present, the world tanker fleetaverages 22.336 tons while Americanvessels average 20,365 tons.

In addition to the increased size oftankers, Andreae said, there are fourother factors which can offer gains inoperating efficiency. The~ factors arecorrosion control, economy features, au-tomation, and better operating perform-ance and terminal facilities.

In many instances corrosion of tank-ors has been overcome, he ~id, by theapplication of zinc silicate paint to sand-blasted surfaces. When properly ap-plied, these coatings virtually eliminatecorrosion of tank bodies, cut down re-pair costs and time out of service, andfacilitate tank cleaning.

J. H. BLADES & CO.Marine Insurance

NOT A SIDELINE

HOUSTON JA 9-4103

Andreae cited a number of economyfeatures that can be derived from sim-plification of design. They include loca-tion of bridge and quarters aft to saveconstruction costs of the midship houseand all piping to it; provision of quar-ters for a reduced number of crew; cen-tralized machinery control; eliminationof dual boilers and auxiliary equip-ment; and elimination of a significantnumber of cargo tank bulkheads andtheir attendant pipeline systems.

"The cumulative effect of simplifica-tion," he said, "could reduce first costof a ship by 20 to 25 per cent. Opera-tion of a simplified vessel on which crewcould be reduced from the conventional1,4 men to 30 together with reduced ini-tial investment should allow costs, in-eluding capital recovery, to be about 25~er cent below that of existing ships."

Pod MagazineIs In DemandFor TV Show

Tile Port of Houston M),G~.ZlNE wasbeing desperately sought by an Englishtelevision station as a source referenceon the Texas Navy recently, and in allof London there was only one copy--in the library of the Port of LondonAuthority.

When the Port of London’s generalmanager, Sir Leslie Ford, O.B.E., visitedHouston a few years ago, he asked tobe put on the mailing list for the MXGA-ZINE. He reports he has been receivingit ever since, reading it faithfull} andsending it on to Bertram Stewart, li-brarian to the Authority,

A television station in London a fewweeks ago began planning a spectacularon Texas and wanted information onthe Texas Navy, Battleship Texas, Battleof San Jacinto and other historicalbackground on the state. What its pro-ducers were able to find in standard ref-erence sources did not satisfy them.

A call to the United States Embassywent from office to office to office unt{lsomeone recalled that the Port of Hous-ton MAGAZINE for May of 1960 had afull story, complete x~ith photos of theSan Jacinto Monument, the battlefieldand the TEXAS.

But *who had a copy of the Maga-zine?

"I think some fellow named Ford atthe Port of London probably has one."the Embassy personnel volunteered."He’s been to Texas and talks a greatdeal about their ports."

Sure enough, a call to Sir Leslieprompted him to call Librarian Stewart.In a matter of moments the much-sought issue of Houston’s Port publi-cation was at hand and on its way tothe television producers.

"The show will now go on asIAanned,’’ Sir Leslie told a visiting Portof Houston official in recounting theincident. "It was a great personal sat-isfaction to me to have had a hand init and to be able to assist."

Sir Leslie has long been an advocateof closer relationships between port au-thorities all over the world. He travelsperiodically to the ports of Europe,where he is on a first-name basis withthe various general managers.

He has attended the national conven-tions of the American Association ofPort Authorities as well as made per-sonal visits to a score of American portsand is no less well-known to port offi-cials on these shores.

"This was an excellent example ofinternational relations in action," SirLeslie ~ys of the Port of Houston MAG-AZINE incident.
