CROWN PRINCESS

Cruise Ship

Fincantieri-CNI

The first of two luxurious 70,000- grt cruise ships, the Crown Princess, ordered by P&O Cruises was deliv- ered this past year by the Monfal- cone yard of Fincantieri Cantieri

Navali Italiani.

With a length overall of 804 feet, beam of 106 feet, draft of 26 feet and passenger capacity of 1,950, the

Crown Princess is one of the largest cruise ships afloat. She features ex- tensive passenger facilities includ- ing lounges, night clubs, disco, casi- no, shopping arcades, cafeteria, con- ference room/cinema, two swim- ming pools, two jacuzzis, and other amenities. About 80 percent of the 792 passenger cabins have outer bal- conies.

Alfa-Laval, SpA, Italy, supplied the complete cooling system for the liner.

The ship's graceful and very dis- tinctive silhouette looks somewhat like that of a dolphin. The profile of the "head" constitutes a large front dome over the Belvedere Bar/Casi- no.

Designed for worldwide cruising, the vessel is powered by a highly advanced diesel-electric plant con- sisting of four 6.6KV, 60-Hz main alternators driven through flexible couplings by four MAN B&W eight-

Shipbuilding

In the summer of 1990, Gladding-

Hearn Shipbuilding, The Duclos

Corp., delivered the M/V Audubon

Express, the first high-speed cata- maran (INCAT) for passenger serv- ice on the Mississippi River.

New Orleans Steamboat Compa- ny began operating the 102-foot, all- aluminum, twin-hulled Audubon

Express between New Orleans's new

Aquarium of the Americas and the

Audubon Zoo. The 360-passenger catamaran is expected to make the seven-mile run in about 18 min- utes.

The Audubon Express has a beam of 28-1/2 feet, depth of 8-1/2 feet and draft of 3.3 feet. Powered by twin 1,600-hp General Motors De- troit Diesel 16V149TI main engines, supplied by Stewart & Stevenson, and driven by two KaMeWa model 63S2 water jets, the ferry was de- signed for medium speeds up to 26 knots (30 mph) on the Mississippi.

She is fitted with ZF model BUK485 marine gears. "By using waterjets instead of conventional propellers, the boat will have a draft of only three feet and produce minimal 32 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
