Wartsila Marine-Powered

Floating Power Plant Barge

Built By Conrad Industries,

Outfitted By Bollinger

Wartsila Marine Inc. of Vancouver, Canada, together with Wartsila Diesel Inc. recently com- pleted a design and construction supervision contract for a 40-MW floating power plant.

In order to meet the very short design and procurement time, the program was broken into two phases: Phase I—Barge Construction, which was carried out by Conrad Industries of Morgan

City, La.; and Phase II—Power Plant Installa-

The completed barge operating on the Ozama River, Santo

Domingo. tion and Outfit, carried out at Bollinger Ma- chine Shop & Shipyard Inc., Lockport, La.

After completion, the power plant barge was loaded onto a submersible barge and "dry" towed to Santo Domingo, in the Dominican

Republic, where it was discharged in Puerto

Ozama and is presently on site undergoing com- missioning trials.

The power plant consists of five x 18v32D

Wartsila medium-speed diesel engines each turning a 6.36MW alternator at 720 rpm and two x 16v32D Wartsila diesel engines each turn- ing a 5.6MW alternator at 720 rpm for a total electrical output of 43MW. The diesel engines are capable of running continuously on 380-cen- tistoke heavy fuel oil, provided in this instance from on-shore storage tanks.

Webb Institute Receives

Endowment For Professorship

From Lester Rosenblatt

The Webb Institute of Naval Architecture, located in Glen Cove, N.Y., has received an endowment for the establishment of a professor- ship to be named the "Mandell and Lester

Rosenblatt Professor of Marine Engineering."

Lester Rosenblatt, chairman and chief ex- ecutive officer of M. Rosenblatt and Son, Inc., naval architects and marine engineers, and a member of Webb Institute's board of trustees, contributed the gift to the college for its Centen- nial Campaign. Mr. Rosenblatt and his father,

Mandell, founded the firm in 1947. It is one of the largest and most highly regarded ship design firms in the world.

The professorship is only the second such designated position at Webb, which is celebrat- ing the 100th anniversary of its founding. The installation of a professor for this position is planned for the fall of 1990. "In view of the long association of the Rosen- blatt name with the maritime field, and the per- sonal and business relationships that my father and I have had with many Webb graduates, I thought it appropriate and timely to have our name even more closely linked with Webb," said

Mr. Rosenblatt. "Webb does an excellent job in providing the maritime industry and the nation with outstanding talent. I am delighted to help its fund-raising campaign in this man- ner.

The Webb Institute is the nation's only col- lege devoted solely to naval architecture and marine engineering.
