Santa Fe Int'l Orders

Drilling Vessel From

Levingston Shipbuilding

Santa Fe International Corp.,

Los Angeles, Calif., has announced it is building its second drilling vessel of the Mariner class. Ed- fred L. Shannon Jr., president, said the new unit will be almost identi- cal to Mariner 1, the world's first twin->hulled column-stabilized drill- ing unit. The only design changes will be an increase in crew accom- modations from 52 to 80 men and a change in the location of the derrick.

Like the Mariner 1, Mariner 2 will have an overall length of 270 feet and an overall width of 106 feet, narrow enough to permit it to transit the Panama Canal.

Levingston Shipbuilding Co.,

Orange, Texas, has been awarded the construction contract. The new drilling vessel is expected to be available for service in Septem- ber 1972.

Largest Shipboard

Closed-Circuit TV

When the 24,178-ton Greek cruise liner RHMS Atlantis recently com- menced her cruising program from

New York, her passengers and crew had television entertainment provid- ed by Marconi Marine with what is believed to be the largest ship- board closed-circuit television sys- tem ever installed aboard a merchant vessel. The sophisticated television entertainment complex, valued at ap- proximately $145,110, was system- designed by Marconi Marine especi- ally for the Atlantis.

This ship, formerly the American passenger liner President Roosevelt, and now owned by Chandris Lines, has been completely redesigned to provide first class accommodations for 1,200 cruising passengers. A new deck has been added to incorporate a number of public rooms.

The "nerve center" of the TV system is the control desk, which con- tains all the electronics necessary to monitor and distribute simultaneous- ly a choice of four different programs to the 390 twelve-inch receivers situ- ated in the vessel's cabins and to the 24-inch receivers installed in 14 of the public rooms.
