Gothenburg-based Kvaerner

Ships Equipment AB is the design and sales center for the worldwide

RO/RO cargo access equipment ac- tivities for the Kvaerner Ships

Equipment international organiza- tion.

Among the many activities of the organization, Kvaerner Ships

Equipment International's West

German subsidiary, Kvaerner Brug (Deutschland) GmbH, Bremen, de- signed the cargo access equipment package for the recently delivered heavylift RO/RO vessel Ariana.

The J.J. Sietas-built 6,550-dwt self-sustaining RO/RO was de- signed specifically for the transport of components for the joint North- ern Europe-South America Ariane

IV rocket project.

The 377-foot vessel is fitted with a wide variety of Kvaerner equip- ment, including a 33-foot hydrauli- cally operated stern ramp which has a rated maximum load of 400 tons.

There are 14 Kvaerner Brug full width pontoon hatch covers fitted to the weatherdeck, which are rated for loads of 2 tons/m2 and are equip- ped for carriage of 20-foot and 40- foot laden containers.

A new 5,000-grt passenger/train/ vehicle ferry under construction at

Denmark's Aalborg Vaerft will fea- ture an extensive array of cargo access equipment designed by

Kvaerner Ships Equipment AB.

The new ferry, which will serve an

East German-Swedish route, will feature a 33-foot wide, 17-foot high visor-type stern door on Deck No. 3 for rail traffic access. The stern door will also form part of the vessel's stern hull section.

Among other equipment that will be installed on the vessel will in- clude: two electrically operated roll- type stern doors and a starboard sited trailer door at midships for vehicle access; two hydraulically op- erated passenger doors for passen- ger access; an engine room hatch cover; and a variety of specialized doors.

Kvaerner Ships Equipment AB also has designed a special stern mooring system for the ferry. The system will be used to hold the ship to the shore-side rail ramp by hy- draulic force.
