The academy, located in Kings

Point, Long Island, N.Y., is oper- ated by the Maritime Administra- tion of the U.S. Department of

Transportation. Its mission is to train young men and women from across the nation in a four-year, accredited college program to be- come officers aboard U.S.-flag mer- chant ships, maritime industry lead- ers and U.S. Naval Reserve offi- cers.

Academy Chief Elected To ASNE

Rear Adm. Paul L. Krinksy, superintendent of the U.S. Mer- chant Marine Academy, has been elected an honorary member of the

American Society of Naval Engi- neers (ASNE) by the group's coun- cil.

A plaque signifying Admiral

Krinksy's membership was pre- sented to him by ASNE's president,

Dr. Alfred Skolnick.

Admiral Krinsky was named chief of the academy last July. He is the seventh person to hold the su- perintendent's post since the federal maritime school was dedicated in 1943. A 1950 academy alumnus, he sailed aboard United States Lines passenger vessels after graduation and served in the U.S. Navy before joining the academy's faculty in 1958. He held numerous adminis-

Deutz MWM Diesel Engine Series

Offer Distinct Advantages

For Passenger Boat Propulsion

The 201-foot, Italian-built II Vagabondo is equipped with 12-cylinder Deutz MWM 628 Series engines. The 1,050-ton passenger boat can reach speeds of 18 knots. 68 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News —Detailed Literature Available—

The trade name Deutz MWM not only represents medium and large diesel engines for the marine mar- ket, but also compact, high-speed units covering lower power ranges.

The range of Deutz MWM pas- senger boat propulsion engines in- cludes extremely compact, high- and medium-speed diesel units.

These engines are light weight, com- pact and smooth-running, combin- ing fuel economy and environmental compatibility. Four engine series are available covering a power range from 20 to 3,470 kw (27 to 4,720 hp).

The lower end of the power range, 20 to 150 kw (27-204 hp), is repre- sented by the 226B Series engines.

They are available in two-, three-, four- and six-cylinder versions, whose maximum cylinder power is between 18 and 25 kw, depending on whether the engine is a naturally aspirated or turbocharged unit with or without charge air cooling. The diesels are rated for speeds between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm.

Powers up to 1,800 kw (2,448 hp) are covered by twin-engine installa- tions consisting of 234 Series en- gines rated for 100 to 900 kw (136 to 1,224 hp) each at speeds between 1,500 and 2,300 rpm. The 234 Series includes engines in Vee configura- tions with six, eight, 12 and 16 cylin- ders. Their best weight per unit power value in maritime duty is as low as 2.5 kg/kw (1.84 kg/hp), while

The compact high-speed diesel engines of the Deutz MWM 604B Series cover a power range from 570 to 2,630 hp at speeds of 1,000 to 1,800 rpm. the power per unit volume is around 400 kw/cu.m (544 hp/cu.m).

The compact series 604B high- speed engines represent the next higher power class, with ratings up to 4,000 kw (5,440 hp). Introduced in 1985, these engines have per- formed very well, particularly as propulsion units for fast ships.

Their power range extends from 420 to 1,935 kw (570 to 2,630 hp) at speeds from 1,000 to 1,800 rpm. The optimal fuel consumption is as low as 190 g/kwh (140 g/hph). A simple throttle-plate control provides for optimal intake-air supply of the (continued on page 70)
