AESA Wins $50-Million Order

To Build Three Catamarans

For U.S. Cruise Market

Astilleros Espanoles S.A. (AESA) of Spain recently received a $50-million order from a con- sortium of companies to build three 600-passen- ger catamarans for the U.S. cruise market.

The three 282-foot catamarans, which would be chartered by a number of U.S.-based opera- tors including SeaEscape of Miami, Fla., would be some of the largest in the world cruise market.

The catamarans, which will be built by

AESA's Seville yard and delivered within the next two years, will be used mainly in the one- day cruise market.

Atlantic Association, a Cayman Islands' com- pany, which is a shareholder in SeaEscape, is a principal in the joint venture. The firm has been involved in the cruise ship industry for several years.

New Powerful Icebreaker

Under Construction At

Gotaverken Arendal

Gotaverken Arendal (GVA) of Gothenburg,

Sweden, is constructing a new, powerful 4,850- ton icebreaker for the Swedish Board of Naviga- tion, which will be able to plow through six-foot ice.

The new 24,500-hp icebreaker, the Oden II, will be 353-1/2 feet long, with a maximum beam of 96-1/2 feet and draft of 23 to 28 feet. She will be equipped with four medium-speed diesels, which will drive two controllable-pitch nozzled propellers through reduction gearing, for a top speed of 17 knots in open water.

The Oden II will be able to clear a channel through ice from 5-1/2 to 6 feet thick. This, plus the vessel's ability to ram ice at full speed and penetrate some of the largest ice ridges, will give her performance characteristics similar to some of the most powerful U.S. and Canadian ice- breakers.

Through an agreement with Dome Petro- leum/Canmar of Canada, GVA was able to incorporate Canadian know-how and experience along with their own into the construction of the vessel.

The Oden II is expected to be delivered in

October 1988, a year after her keel was laid.

Textron Marine Collaborates

With Swedish Company To Build

High-Speed Passenger Ferries

Model of the SES-Jetrider vessel. Two of this type of ship are being constructed in Sweden for use as high-speed passenger ferries.

Two twin-hulled Surface Effect Ships (SES) under construction at Karlskrone, Sweden are the product of close collaboration between the

Swedish company Karlskronavarvet AB and the

U.S. company Textron Marine Systems.

The vessels are being built for Norwegian owners and will be used as high-speed passenger ferries between Helsingborg, Sweden and Co- penhagen, Denmark. Surface Effect Ships for use as cargo ferries, coastal patrol boats, military attack crafts and larger passenger vessels are also under development or planned.

The SES concept of a power-driven vessel, partially supported on an air cushion confined between twin side hulls and curtain-type end seals is not new. Textron Marine Systems have themselves been researching the project for years. Since 1984, however, Karlskronavarvet have made several changes to the basic Textron design, which will allow the new ferries to oper- ate at speeds of about 45 knots at full load.

The SES-Jetrider hull has been built of a three-layer GRP/PVC sandwich. The hull is made of a PVC core between two layers of GRP, making it strong, lightweight, corrosion-resis- tant and fire-resistant.

In addition, the SES-Jetrider has been equip- ped with waterjet propulsion instead of the usual screw propulsion.

Karlskronavarvet claims that at a speed of 45 knots with full load, the SES-Jetrider vessel will consume less fuel than almost any comparable craft.
