PHOENIX*

SUPER-MARINE

Fixtures light up "ZODIAC" Fleet

The LNG Taurus, shown here, is a visual tribute to the joint efficiency of Phoenix's "CALL" {Computer

Aided Lighting Layout) service and the Super-

Marine fixtures used to implement it.

In addition to the Taurus. Phoenix has similarly retrofitted her seven sister ships plying the Far

Eastern LNG trade, including the LNG Aries,

Aquarius, Gemini, Leo. Capricorn, Libra and Virgo.

Just 29 computer-located floodlights are needed to adequately illuminate each of the giant liquified natural gas tankers operated by the Energy

Transportation Group.

The combination of Phoenix's exclusive "CALL" system and wide selection of UL listed Super

Rough Service floodlights and searchlights might provide the answer to your lighting problems — ashore or afloat. Call us or write for details.

Tenfjord Opens USA Office

And Names Lithen Director

Jens Tenfjord, managing di- rector, A.S. Tenfjord M.V.,

Tennfjord, Norway, has an- nounced the formation of Tenfjord

Inc. with offices located at 95 River

Street, Hoboken, N.J. The new company will market and service

Tenfjord steering gears as well as coordinate manufacture in the

USA. Eric E. Lithen, PE, will di- rect USA operations.

In addition to the well-known

Tenfjord rotary hydraulic steering gear, a new and innovative second generation rotary steering gear has been developed by A.S. Tenfjord

M.V. The new steering gear is completely unitized, eliminating all high pressure piping. Of partic- ular interest, the ram cross section is circular as opposed to rectangu- lar as in all present rotary steer- ing gears. Similar to the earlier version, the rudder carrier bearing is integral with the steering gear. $68-Million North Sea

Platform Contract Awarded

Total Oil Marine Ltd. has awarded a $68 million contract to a Scottish joint venture shipyard to build a North Sea oil platform.

The venture principals are Red- path de Groot Caledonian and the

British subsidiary of the French company UIE which is based at

Clydebank, Scotland. The steel platform for the North Alwyn field, about 130 miles east of Shetland, will be built at RGC's Methil yard in Fife which has a workforce of about 1,000.

A contract for a second platform is expected to be announced later this year. Total has already said the construction of the two plat- forms will provide up to 3,500 jobs over five years and that most of them will be in Britain. Estimated recoverable reserves in the field are 200 million barrels of oil and 27 billion cubic meters of gas. Oil production is expected to begin in 1987. 42 Write 629 on Reader Service Card Write 398 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
