Kloster Project (continued)

According to recent reports, three

Japanese shipyards—Ishikawajima-

Harima, Mitsubishi Heavy Indus- tries and Nippon Kokan K.K.— have the inside track on the con- tract.

Indications are that one Japanese yard would build the hull, a second its accommodation and superstruc- ture and a third of its propulsion equipment.

As to whether the Phoenix would be built as a joint venture by three

Japanese shipyards, Mr. Kloser re- plied, "By joining forces and form- ing the so-called 'World City Club of

Japan,' these three yards have shown a positive interest. As a group, they are presently very strong candidates."

The Phoenix will be 1,263 feet long, with a beam of 252 ¥2 feet, and will have three 8-story hotels on her deck, with palm trees, swimming pools and sandy beaches. Indoors, the ship will house a theater/concert hall, casino, shops, restaurants and cafes. The ship will also have a ma- rina in her stern, where four 400- person cruisers will shuttle passen- gers to and from various ports of call and destinations within a 50-mile

Lunetta Elected

Chairman Of AAPA

The director of the Port of Miami,

Carmen J. Lunetta, was recently elected the chairman of the Ameri- can Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) during the organization's annual convention in Galveston,

Texas.

The AAPA, founded in 1912, rep- resents deepwater seaports through- out the U.S., Canada, Caribbean and Central and South America.

During his acceptance speech,

Mr. Lunetta said he intends to make President Reagan's Carib- bean Basin Initiative one of his top priorities, believing Miami's ties to the Latin American and Caribbean port communities would benefit the

AAPA and increase the organiza- tion's visibility.

New IMO® Screw Pump

IMO Pump Division, Imo Delaval

Inc. of Monroe, N.C., has recently introduced a new series of low-pres- sure, positive displacement rotary screw pumps.

The new ACE Series combines an integral relief valve with a simple, compact pump design to reduce in- stallation time and expense. Opera- tional reliability is enhanced be- cause the integral relief valve is exactly matched to pump flow char- acteristics, eliminating the need to separately specify, source and in- stall individual components. Instal- lation, periodic inspection and rou- tine maintenance can be performed without disturbing existing piping systems.

ACE models are available for either face or foot mounting in five basic flow sizes. A choice of two dif- ferent casing materials and mechan- ical seals is also offered. The series is engineered to provide excellent suction capacity over a wide range of fluid viscosities. Flow rates from 3 to 44 gpm are proportional to rotating speed when the pumps are operated within recommended pres- sure ranges not exceeding 150 psi.

ACE pumps are specifically de- signed for high performance hy- draulic, lubricating and distillate fuel oil applications in which com- pactness, reliability and low mainte- nance are prime requirements.

IMO Pump Division is one of the world's largest designers and manu- facturers of high quality rotary screw pumps.
