It has given dredges to Myanmar to make the river navigable for deeper cargo ships.
It had to be loaded as efficiently as possible, in the ship's seven deep cargo holds, but also as evenly as possible: nothing can take a ship down faster than its cargo, improperly loaded.
The Panama Canal was more than 2,000 miles away, but very much on the minds of the officials who stood next to a hulking machine on Staten Island on Wednesday to announce a project that involves building a water tunnel to Brooklyn and dredging New York Harbor to make room for deeper cargo ships.
It gets a deeper cargo bed (by 2.3 inches), and its frame gets sturdier, square-sided rails that are far more corrosion-resistant and wear far better.
While the Tahoe is built on a rear- or four-wheel drive platform, the Traverse rides on a front- or all-wheel drive platform – by design, the mechanical packaging allows the Traverse to have more (and deeper) cargo space in the rear with hidden storage beneath the load floor.
He envisions the tunnel as a link to a re-energized port terminal in Sunset Park, with the deep water off the Brooklyn waterfront enabling the terminal to be used by a new generation of deep-draft cargo vessels that cannot navigate the shallower channels leading to ports on Staten Island and in New Jersey.
Hanshin Diesel is perhaps the most well known designer/builder of the hybrids outside Japan, the Dutch shipping company Spliethoff having standardized on its engines for deep-sea cargo ships in the 1970s/1980s.
