New MaK M 43 Series Aids

German Branch

MaK Motoren's latest addition to its engine offerings, the M 43 Series, has made an essential contribution to the record number of orders received by the

German-based MaK Sales Organization.

With its headquarters located in Ham- burg and branch offices in Bremen and

Rostock, the organization reported that this past year's orders exceeded $51.8 million.

The first three diesel engines of this latest series were presented to the mar- ket at the end of 1998 by MaK, and were recently shipped from the company's works' quay. With a total power output of 22 MW, two members of the engine trio built for Irish owners, will power what is currently known as the largest fishing trawler worldwide. The third engine will be used in a chemical tanker built for a Norwegian owner. Currently, more than 40 units of this engine have been sold in various cylinder configura- tions with a total power output volume of 340 MW.

Isotta Fraschini Marine Diesel

Engines Available on W. Coast

The Italian line of marine diesel engines built by Isotta Fraschini are now available through Marine Matrix North- west, Inc. MMNW selected Isotta Fras- chini to complement its Volvo Penta line, since the well-respected Isotta

Fraschini engines range from six cylin- der in-line 600-hp, to V-16 3,200-hp and are featured in a large variety of com- mercial, military and high-speed plea- sure craft around the world.

Most notably, the U.S. Navy selected
