WORLD'S LARGEST DAVIT

Shell Tankers (U.K.) Ltd. had a specially designed davit installed on the 115,600 dwt tanker "Naticina" for use in attempts at speedier transfer at sea of oil from supertankers into smaller tankers to enable the larger vessels to proceed into European ports of insufficient draft. the 45 ft high, 43 ton davit was built by Schat Davits Ltd. of London, transported to Hamburg by Mann International Transport's Trailer Division, and erected on the "Natician" at the Blohm & Voss Shipyard.
