C & H Sugar's new 38,000 ton Sugar Islander relies on Waukesha diesels for all auxiliary requirements —ship's service, emergency power, and bow thruster power.
The highly automated queen of the Hawaiian sugar trade is the largest U.S. built ocean-going dry bulk cargo carrier ever put into service. More than two football fields long (641 feet) ££ was built by Lockheed Shipbuilding and Con- struction Co. and is operated by Pyramid Sugar
Transport, Inc. of New Orleans,
Auxiliary ship's service includes two 500 KW gen sets powered by two
F-2895 DSIM Waukesha diesels, and a third 100 KW emergency set powered by a H-1077 DM V-8 diesel. The bow thruster is powered by a L5792 DSIM V-12 diesel. This engine is capable of delivering 1400 continuous horsepower at 1200 rpm.
