Hitachi Zosen Delivers

Bulk Carrier To Greek Owner

The bulk carrier North Marchioness.

The North Marchioness, a 61,177-dwt bulk carrier, was recently completed at Hitachi Zo- sen's Ariake Works and subsequently deliv- ered to its owner, Polaris Transport Corpora- tion of Greece.

The North Marchioness is the eighth Pana- max 60BC Mark II-type bulk carrier built by

Hitachi Zosen, and is designed to carry var- ious ore, coal and grain cargoes. The Panamax

Mark II type is a Hitachi Zosen-developed standardized bulk carrier of the largest size which can sail the Panama Canal. The ship employs a low speed main engine and a large- diameter propeller, as well as a Hitachi Zo- sen-developed stern bulb, to reduce vibration and noise, while at the same time improving propulsion efficiency. Also, .anti-fouling paint of a self-polishing type is used to further im- prove propulsion efficiency. All together these and other design features ensure fuel-saving ship operation.

The main features and approximate specifi- cations of the ship are as follows: length 705 V2 feet; breadth 105V2 feet; and depth of 584 feet.

The main engine is a Hitachi Zosen B&W 7L6MC-type diesel with a maximum continu- ous output of 11,750 hp x 103 rpm, producing a trial speed of 16.44 knots. The North Mar- chinoess is classified by Lloyd's Register.

Cummins Engine Announces

New Engine Model Codes

For Marine Product Line

Cummins Engine Company recently an- nounced new engine model codes for their worldwide marine product line. The new models are being adopted to identify all new products by liters instead of present cubic-inch dis- placement. These new codes have been for- mulated to provide a consistent marine engine model description covering engine series, as- piration, displacement in liters, market appli- cation, and in some cases special or unique features.

The marine models that represent Cum- mins product line for the 80s and beyond will incorporate the new nomenclature. These en- gines are the B and C Series, which are being released with the new nomenclature, and the existing K Series and V (1710) Series which are being changed to the new nomenclature.

Other engines will retain their current nomenclature.

A brochure entitled "Engine Nomenclature" has been released by Cummins Engine Com- pany, Inc. describing how the new codes are formulated.
