The Tung Group has orders with Sasebo Heavy Industries for six supertankers equipped with MST-14 reheat marine propulsion plants with associated technical package. The Energy Transport not only is the first of the six tankers, but also is the first tanker in the world which is equipped with this newly designed reheat powerplant. The ship's General Electric Cen-tral Operations System allows re-mote control of the powerplant from either the bridge or engine room console. The bridge console permits control of the ship's speed from full-ahead to full-astern by movement of a single throttle lever. A single unit operator's console in the engine room provides instru-mentation for steam pressures, tem-peratures, flows and similar oper-ative functions; extended monitor and alarm system for off-normal powerplant operation conditions; automatic throttle control, and General Electric Measurement and Control System (GE-MAC) boiler control. The Central Operations System, made by the General Electric In-dustry Control Department, Salem, Va., also has generator, instru-mentation and other operator con-trols. Other General Electric compo-nents for the Energy Transport were produced by the Mechanical Drive Turbine Department, Small AC Motor and Generator Depart-ment and the Instrument Depart-ment. The order for the equipment was placed through the IGE Ex-port Division in New York City. The Energy Transport will be used to transport oil between the Persian Gulf and Northern Europe.
