Australian Admiral Test-Starts

New Sub Engine At Hedemora

Diesel—Literature Available

Rear Adm. Oscar Hughes, project leader with overall responsibility for the Royal Austra- lian Navy's new submarine project, recently vis- ited Sweden's Hedemora Diesel AB to test-start a prototype engine that is one of a series of engines intended for six submarines.

The order, which includes a total of 19 engines, including logistics, is a significant breakthrough for Hedemora Diesel in the inter- national naval vessel market. It is also confirma- tion that the company is manufacturing engines that satisfy the technological requirements of the 1990s.

The test-start of the prototype engine is an important milestone in the total delivery pro- gram, ordered by Australian Submarine Corpo- ration, ASC, which will be completed in stages between 1990 and 1995.

Hedemora Diesel engines are currently in- stalled in a large number of industrial, marine, naval-defense and railway application areas, worldwide.

For the 1990s, Hedemora Diesel is focusing increasingly on the development of high-per- formance engines for naval-defense installa- tions.

Cummins-Powered 'Grand Romance'

Begins Excursion Service On

St. Johns River In Florida

According to one of the owners, "Cummins engines and generators were selected for the Grand Romance because of their quietness, economy, dependability and low initial purchase price."

The 136-foot, triple-decked excursion vessel "Grand Romance" recently began excursion ser- vice on the St. Johns River between Sanford and

Jacksonville, Fla.

Designed by John Brever, an associate of

Florida Naval Architects, Inc. of East Palatka, the 600-passenger vessel was constructed by

Freeport Shipbuilding & Marine Repair.

Powered by a pair of fuel-efficient NT-855-N

Cummins engines with two NT-855G/GC2

Cummins generators—all supplied by Cummins

Alabama, Inc.—the Grand Romance replaces its predecessor, the 110-foot "Rivership Romance," that operated out from Sanford for seven years.

The steel-hulled Grand Romance has a 46- 50 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
