HANDLING SHIPS
PROVISION OF DRY DOCK “EARTHS.” It is a common practice when ships are sitting high and dry upon the blocks in dry docks to afford protection against electrical current leakage, or storm, by passing a steel cable from the ship to the dock floor or wall, states the “Port of London Authority Monthly.” Changing circumstances and the use of smaller vessels causes difficulties to be experienced in securing good earth connections. The Port Authority have therefore provided, at some expense, special earthing connections at the P.L.A. dry docks. This item is but one of the services, necessary to efficient and expeditious working, comprehended in the phrase “facilities for handling ships.”
