of Smiths Industries PLC, during the Posidonia Exhibition in Pireas,

Greece.

The orders for more than 20

ARPA-based radar systems were taken from 12 different shipowners.

Most of these radar systems have been retrofitted to vessels in order to comply with the IMO Solas 1984 regulation for vessels between 15,000 and 20,000 GRT, which states that ARPA systems are to be fitted before September 1, 1988.

The total sales of Kelvin Hughes

ARPA radars into Greece so far this year now exceeds 70 systems.

Alan Eldret, the director of Kel- vin Hughes Merchant Marine busi- ness, said: "The Posidonia Exhibi- tions have always been successful for Kelvin Hughes, but this year even more so. These orders are a result of having the right products for the marketplace with Radtrak and our new Concept range, and sustained effort by our local agent

Elkime Ltd., working closely with our own salesmen. We believe Kel- vin Hughes to be the major supplier of modern ARPA-based navigation- al radar systems into the Greek market." For more information and free literature on radar systems from Kevin Hughes,

The first Sulzer RTA 72 engine ever built was recently completed by 3.MAJ Diesel Works, a division of 3.MAJ Associated Shipbuilding

Industry. demonstrated excellent service per- formance and proved to be an excel- lent solution (more than 12,000 hours of operations between re- pairs-regrinds).

As for the cylinder liner wear, according to the latest results re- ported from m/v Malinska (both the ships and the engine built by 3.MAJ) after 5,214 hours of opera- tion, a wear of 0.004-0.008 mm/1,000 h has been measured which is a very good rate. It is to be added that the measuring has been carried out by

Sulzer, who follows its field tests on this ship.
