Large Bore Engines (continued)

TEU Marchen Maersk, the first of

A.P. Moller's 10K90MC-powered advanced containerships to enter service.

The other end of the power spec- trum saw the seagoing debut of the

S26MC design, the latest and small- est addition to the MC series, in the 126-TEU feeder containership Rok- ku Maru. The six-cylinder S26MC develops 2,185 kw (2,970 bhp) at 250 rpm.

Orders for the S26MC for new- buildings in China and South Kor- ea, as well as a great deal of interest from European customers, suggest that the 260-mm bore design will increase the low-speed engine's pen- etration of the small-to-medium- sized ship sectors—a market al- ready sucessfully targeted by the 350-mm bore MC models.

The larger bore MC models are well suited for "new generation"

VLCCs now entering service, as well as other larger tankers and bulk car- riers. The 600-mm bore design re- mains a popular choice for medium- sized bulkers, tankers and contain- erships.

Besides the overall economy, reli- ability and durability engineered in to MAN B&W Diesel low-speed die- sel engines, an operator's costs can be reduced further by using CAPA,

MAN B&W Diesel engine licensees.

Already, R&D and component sim- plification has reduced the number of production hours for an MC en- gine by around 20 percent as com- pared with earlier models, and as- sembly times have been cut even more significantly.

Cospolich Develops

Refrigerators With

Extraordinary Capability

While working with the U.S.

Coast Guard and commercial vessel owners on the problem of replacing existing failed equipment, Cospol- ich Refrigerator Co. Inc. of Kenner,

La., engineered and constructed a series of modular refrigerators. The design of these units, which are comprised of a series of interlocking components, allowed for equipment upgrades without having to cut ac- cessways in decks and bulkheads, or modify passageways.

The advantages of modular units are a drastic reduction in vessel downtime and real cost savings through elimination of modifica- tions.

The model R10F10-2M-ADS (Modular) comes standard with a stainless steel finish on both the exterior and the interior. Polyure- thane insulation is used to give the best insulating values. Models with a freezer feature an automatic de- frost system. Other options avail- able include aluminum finish for weight savings or nonmagnetic con- siderations.

In addition to the modular refrig- erators, Cospolich manufactures standard models comprised of dif- ferent capacities and various capa- bilities.
