Krupp MaK Wins $21.6-Million

Retrofit Contract For Canadian

Icebreaker—Literature Available

Krupp MaK Maschinenbau GmbH of Kiel,

West Germany, recently signed a 40-million

Deutsche mark (about $21.6 million) contract with the Canadian shipyard Halifax Dartmouth

Industries Limited for the complete retrofit of the propulsion system of Canada's largest ice- breaker, the Louis S. St. Laurent.

The turbine electric DC installation will be replaced by a diesel electric AC/DC system.

Total installed diesel power will be 31,560 kw from five diesel generator sets, type 16 M 453 C of 5,880 kw each, and two diesel generator sets type 6 M 282 of 1,100 kw each. In addition, the contract specifies the general overhaul of the

DC-propulsion motors and testing of the propul- sion system on a special test rig in Canada.

Krupp MaK is the general contractor for the whole propulsion system. The electrical part will be supplied by Siemens Electric Limited Cana- da.

Other contracts recently concluded by Krupp

Mak include two containerships ordered by Chi- nese state shipping company COSCO from Ho- waldswerke Deutsche Werft AG, which will have six Krupp MaK diesel generator sets (in all

COSCO will then have eight ships with 24 MaK diesel generator sets); Dutch reefer owner Sea- trade will have its third reefer built by Van

Diepen Werft in Holland equipped with a 6 M 601 main propulsion engine of 6,600 kw; and a 6

M 601 main engine with 6,000 kw has been spec- ified for a Spanish tuna seiner.

Canada's largest icebreaker, the Louis S. St. Laurent, will have a new Krupp MaK diesel electric AC/DC system that is expected to reduce fuel consumption by more than 40 percent.

Navy Approves PPG Coating

To Stop Cable Fires —Brochure Available

PPG Industries of Pittsburgh, Pa., has devel- oped and commercialized a proprietary coating to stop shipboard fires that ignite cable systems.

PITT-CHAR® 200 coating is the first of its type approved for use by the U.S. Navy to coat elec- trical cables and penetrators. The first commer- cial application was recently completed on the

USS Kennedy aircraft carrier.

Shipboard fires that ignite cable systems spread rapidly, are virtually uncontrollable and threaten human life. According to the Naval Sea

Systems Command, Washington, D.C., "PITT-

CHAR 200 has successfully passed testing con- ducted by the David Taylor Research Center (DTRC) and is approved for application to fire zone penetrations as a fire-stop method."

Although the cable systems in newer ships within the fleet are covered with material that minimizes smoke and gases during fires, more than 500 ships in the existing fleet contain mil- lions of feet of combustible cable that can pro- duce heavy smoke and toxic fumes when burned.
