Toma Named

Marine Systems Sales

Representative In Miami

Sperry Corporation, Charlottes- ville, Va., has announced the ap- pointment of George Toma as its marine systems sales representative for Miami, Fla.

Prior to joining Sperry's market- ing staff, Mr. Toma, a U.S. Mer- chant Marine Academy graduate, served as a mate on the Sperry Star, a marine research vessel.

Roger Brauer, eastern regional manager, expressed his pleasure that Mr. Toma had agreed to join

Sperry Corporation's marine sys- tems sales organization. "We recog- nize the growing need for support of the marine market in the Miami area, and we believe that George will be an asset to Sperry and our customers," Mr. Brauer said. "This is particularly important dur- ing the introduction of our new sat- com and radar systems," he said.

Sperry is a major manufacturer of marine navigation and control sys- tems and a leader in radar and colli- sion avoidance systems for all types of vessels. Recently, Sperry an- nounced the addition of a range of satellite communications systems and the powerful Sperry PC, as additions to its suite of available systems. Sperry also offers a full range of gyropilots, gyrocompasses, doppler sonar speed logs, ship stabi- lizer systems and steering systems.

With the addition of Mr. Toma, sales and service of these products will be fully supported by Sperry in the Miami area.

MAN B&W Engines Will

Power Sitmar Cruise Ship

Ordered At French Yard

MAN B&W Diesel GmbH of

Augsburg, West Germany, has re- ceived an order for four BL 58/64 type four-stroke diesel engines with a total output of about 53,000 bhp at 400 rpm from the French shipyard

Chantiers de l'Atlantique in St. Na- zaire, the shipbuilding division of

Alsthom. The order totals more than 20 million DM (about $10 mil- lion).

These four engines will supply the energy for the diesel-electric propul- sion and electrical system of a cruise vessel ordered by Sitmar Cruises of

Los Angeles. Fcr increased passen- ger comfort, the engines will be seated on resilient mounts develop- ed by MAN B&W. The engines and alternators will be connected via highly flexible couplings. Two three-phase propulsion motors of 12,000 kw each supplied by CGEE

Alsthom will drive a fixed-pitch pro- peller. The 803.8-foot, 13-deck ship will have a capacity for 1,400 pas- sengers in 700 cabins.

The MAN B&W 58/64 series en- gine is a modern, extraordinarily fuel-saving and low-maintenance four-stroke engine. Its specific fuel

November, 1986 consumption is said to be only 171 g/kwh. Already 23 engines of this type have been ordered from all parts of the world totaling nearly 300,000 bhp, including the 130,000 bhp of the new propulsion plant for the Queen Elizabeth 2.
