S26MC CROSS SECTION ures for specific fuel oil consump- tion; low figures for specific lube oil consumption; secure operation on heavy fuel oil; high reliability; low maintenance costs; and low noise level. Tests on a prototype 6S26MC engine are scheduled to start in

Copenhagen in October this year.

Said to be the smallest two-stroke uniflow diesel engine of its kind, the

S26MC is based on more than 50 years of experience in uniflow de- sign, and is backed by a worldwide service organization.

The new 260-mm-bore engine shares the basic design philosophy of other models in MAN B&W Die- sel's market-leading MC Series, which now embraces eight bore sizes up to 900 mm. The overall range can now meet single engine output ap- plications from 950 to 64,320 bhp.

Ulstein Introduces New

High-Lift Type Rudder

Ulstein in Norway recently un- veiled a new high-lift rudder that combines the best features of vari- ous known rudder types and pro- vides higher lift at large rudder angles compared with conventional flap type rudders. The new rudder is said to provide an exceptionally good effect for vessels that require high rudder forces at low speeds such as tugboats, trawlers, anchor- handling vessels, etc.

An important advantage com- pared with other high-lift rudders is that the Ulstein unit requires only the conventional 2 by 45-degree steering gear. The rudder gives im- proved rudder effect with low ener- gy losses, in particular during trawl- ing and at low speeds. At the same time, the transverse forces are re- duced for small rudder angles, thereby reducing the chasing at cruising speeds.

The new Ulstein high-lift rudder is being marketed by Ulstein Trad- ing Ltd. A/S, with sales offices and agents worldwide. The Norwegian firm is represented in the U.S. by

Ulstein Inc. of Kenner, La., and in

October, 1986

Canada by Ulstein Maritime Ltd. of

Burnaby, B.C.

With this new high-lift rudder added to its product line, Ulstein is in the position to provide all the major equipment for the propulsion and maneuvering of a wide range of vessels.
