for around 1,100 kw. The Cacique displaces 694 tons and reaches a speed of 16.7 knots. Her three gen- erator sets are driven by Deutz

MWM engines of the 816 series.

Another example of the applica- tion of Deutz MWM engines of the 628 series in yachts is the II Vaga- bondo, recently delivered in Italy.

Two 12-cylinder engines deliver 2,414 kw each, bringing the 1,050- ton vessel to a maximum speed of 18.5 knots.

Two more vessels of this type, fitted with main engines of the 628 series, are in the process of con- struction at Italian shipyards.

The Mississippi Queen is Europe's first newbuilding based on the famous Mississippi paddle steamers. With a length of 203V2 feet and a beam of 37'A feet the vessel can hold up to 1,000 passengers. The paddlewheel, 23 feet in diameter and 26 feet wide, has a hydrostatic drive. Power is delivered by two Deutz MWM 234 series engines arranged in the forebody.

Successful Deutz 628 Series Engines

Gaining In Popularity

Among the most successful en- gine series of the Deutz MWM trademark is the 628, for which con- tracts for more than 1,000 were placed up to mid-1987. The 1,000th engine was delivered in August of last year.

Around 60 percent of the 628 series engines delivered thus far op- erate as ship main propulsion units or in marine sets, with workshops accounting for the largest share.

The successful engine series is gain- ing in popularity for propulsion use aboard excursion vessels.

Recently, the Katalina was to her delivery shipowner in Hamburg.

Built at Ross Industrie, the vessel displaces 1,131 tons, is about 207 feet long, has a beam of 34 Va feet, and a depth of 14 feet. Propulsion consists of two 12-cylinder Deutz 628 series engines rated for 2,200 kw at a speed of 1,000 rpm. The Katali- na is capable of reaching a speed of 17.5 knots. Power supply on board is provided by two sets, each rated for 249 kw and driven by 8-cylinder engines of the Deutz MWM 234 series. The auxiliary set for port ser- vice, rated for 97 kw, is also fitted with a 234 series engine.

The Cacique, recently delivered in the Netherlands, is powered by two 6-cylinder in-line engines of the

Deutz MWM 628 series, each rated

Hyundai Offers Advanced Rig Design

It is generally believed that the positive factors currently evolving in the offshore industry will soon lead to an upward trend in the demand for semisubmersibles and offshore platforms. At present, one giant semisubmersible drilling rig laid at the Ulsan shipyard of Hyun- dai Heavy Industries (HHI) is at- tracting growing attention from many of the world's leading offshore contractors for her outstanding fea- tures.

The advanced drilling rig, the

Norjarl, is said to be one of the most sophisticated and best-equipped drilling units ever built. Like the

Transocean No. 8 rig recently deliv- ered by HHI to its American owner,

Transocean Drilling Co., Ltd., the

Norjarl is built to the Aker H-4.2 design and custom-fitted to meet the specific requirements of the new generation of drilling units.

The semisubmersible, mobile off- shore drilling rig Norjarl has full dynamic positioning with a total deck payload of 4,350 tons, as well as special winterization measures for efficient year-round operation in the North Sea and sub-Arctic re- gions.

With dimensions of about 361 feet in length, 240 feet in breadth and 130 feet in upper deck height, the Norjarl will be operated in water depth of 1,968 Vi feet to drill to about 25,000 feet. Operating draft is 77 feet.

Maneuverability of the Norjarl is provided by eight controllable-pitch thrusters, each of 3,800 hp. Power is provided by eight Nohab turbo- charged and intercooled diesel en- gines, each with an output of 4,726 bhp. At full thrust operation in the open ocean, the rig will reach a top speed of 5-6 knots.
