The new Falcon fleet of
U.S.-built tankers puts to sea.
The Four Falcon Tankers—37,276 dwt with 15,000 BHP.—set the pace for new
U.S. Flag merchant vessels. They are the first large U.S. ships to answer the demand for greater cargo space with big diesel power tucked into small space.
And do it with Pielstick diesels from
Colt Industries.
The Pielstick PC-2 is the world's most widely used medium-speed, high horsepower marine diesel engine.
