Plans Revealed For

World's Largest

Cruise Ship

Plans for the world's largest cruise ship were recently revealed in

London by a former tanker operator credited with the introduction of ultra-large crude carriers to the market in the 1970s.

At a press conference, Ravi Tik- koo, the man credited with revolu- tionizing the tanker market with the introduction of VLCCs, revealed his plans to build a 3,000-passenger cruise ship for the U.S. market. The ship would be over 1,130 feet long and have a gross registered tonnage of 160,000.

The state-owned Northern Ire- land shipyard Harland & Wolff has signed a "Heads of Agreement" with

Tikkoo Cruise Line, the company specifically set up to manage the project, to contract to build the ves- sel.

In provisional specifications, two eight-cylinder MAN B&W L70MC diesel engines have been specified.

The aggregate output of the plant, direct-coupled to twin screws, would thus be in the region of 50,000 bhp.

Midland Enterprises Plans

To Build 200-250 New

Open Hopper Barges

Midland Enterprises Inc., a barge-operating subsidiary of East- ern Gas and Fuel Associates, will use the proceeds of a $50-million bond issue to finance some 200 to 250 new open hopper barges for use on the U.S. inland river system.

Midland plans to start up its mothballed Port Allen Marine Ser- vices barge yard in Baton Rouge,

La.
