Auxiliary power is provided by two

Cummins NT-855 engines, also sup- plied by Cummins Mid-South, driv- ing 150-kw Newage Stamford gener- ators. The generator sets are mounted on springs and the sound- proofed engine room is fully insu- lated to reduce noise levels.

The top deck of the three-deck

Bay Lady can accommodate 275 passengers, while her lower deck can handle 320 persons. The upper deck is partially covered by a canopy for open air passenger comfort.

One of the most distinctive fea- tures of the Bay Lady is her large full-service galley. The complete 30- foot by 20-foot galley, which is fitted with four convection ovens, a walk- in cooler, a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and electric range, is used to prepare all of the Bay

Lady's meals onboard.

The Bay Lady will operate in the

Baltimore Harbor area in the spring and summer months, and move south to the Key Biscayne, Fla., for the winter.

Intended for worldwide service, the Greek-flagged 616-foot cruise ship has a molded breadth of 92-1/2 feet and draft on summer freeboard of 22.7 feet. She has 12 decks, and is able to carry 1,221 passengers in 526 cabins. Each of the 526 staterooms are fitted with individually con- trolled air conditioning through dif- fusers discreetly incorporated into the ceiling. The 40,000-grt Crown

Odyssey also has 199 crew cabins and a complement of 443.

Classed by Lloyd's Register of linking ports, coasts and continents by passenger ships and ferries

Passenger ships and ferries are connected with ports, coasts and continents by timetables that are accurate down to the last minute.

Under such circumstances the reliability of the propulsion plant takes on particular importance.

MAN B&W four-stroke Diesel engines have been proving their reliability either as straightforward

Diesel propulsion or Diesel-elec- tric propulsion plant on board famous cruise liners and ferries.

With its comprehensive engine programme and the lowest heavy fuel consumption rate ever reached, MAN B&W is able to supply the ideal propulsion concept for every ship.
