Fiat Engines To Power Two Drive-On Ships Two large, fast and highly specialized drive-on/drive-off car carriers are to be built at the German shipyard Blohm und Voss of Ham-burg on behalf of the Ugland Group, Grimstad, Norway. Each ship is reported to have a loading ca-pacity for 2.800 cars for ocean-crossing voy-ages. Propulsion for each ship will be two Fiat engines type C. 4216.SS, each developing 7.200-bhp at 450-rpm. Geared to one variable pitch propeller, the engines will give the ship a trial speed of about 21 knots. This is another proof of the great confidence gained among shipowners by the Fiat medium-speed engines for marine propulsion in multi-engine installations. The four engines for Ugland significantly in-crease the order book of Fiat medium-speed engines for marine propulsion. More than 40 orders were placed for these engines in 1968 for Italian and foreign ships.
