Protect aft oil Seals from line and net intrusion!

Damaged Seals neccessitate pumping oil into the sea to prevent water from entering the bearings.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ordered the Coast Guard to impose heavy penalties for oil leaks advising the vessels "The source of the leak must be immediately secured." ELIMINATE

Construction Of

Disney Mtigic Begins

At Fincantiori

According to reports released by

Disney Cruise Line (DCL) on July 17, con- struction of the company's first ship,

Disney Magic, has begun at Fincantieri shipyards in Anconc and Maghera, Italy.

More than 700 tons of steel have already been cut to form the ship's superstructure.

DCL has aggressively approached the design and development of Disney

Magic, and second ship Disney Wonder, with both ships being purpose-built with three distinct audiences in mind to maxi- mize the use of spa<:e and offer excep- tional accommodations. "Disney's design work was done far in advance of our contract with Fincantieri.

It was only after we considered our three audiences — children, families and adults — that our team of designers determined the size and feel of our ships.

The ability to make thsse concepts a real- ity became a primai-y consideration in our shipyard review process," said DCL

President Art Rodney

Disney Magic, which sets sail in

February 1998, will include 880 state- rooms, organized in 12 categories, and reportedly designed to be 25 percent more spacious than the current cruise ship standard. Severity-three percent of the rooms will be outside staterooms, with almost half of these equipped with verandahs. The ship will have 15,000 sq. ft. dedicated to children, with 30-40 youth counselors on watch. There will also be adult-only areas designated on the ship, including one of the pools.

New KMY Moscow Office

Celebrates Contract

On June 18, Kvaerner Masa-

Yards (KMY) opened its new rep- resentative office in Moscow, and signed a contract for ice model tests to be performed by KMY's

Arctic Research Centre (MARC) together with the Krylov

Research Institute in St.

Petersburg. The model tests are related to the startup of the

Prirazlomnaya offshore oil field in the Pechora Sea. The contract is reportedly worth approximate- ly $1 million, and includes model tests at MARC's ice model basin related to the operation of the production platform and offload- ing from the production platform to ships.

KMY is also working on a development program for new types of "double acting" tankers, to be used for oil transportation from the Prirazlomnaya area in the Barents Sea.

These tankers will operate with stern first in ice and bow first in water. 90 Circle 270 on Reader Service Card Circle 236 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
