STAL Refrigeration

Installation On 'Monarch'

Largest Ever On A Ship

The refrigeration installation on board the M/S Monarch of the Seas is said to be one of the largest ever installed on a ship. With a crew of 830, this new liner will cruise in the

Caribbean, accommodating about 2,770 passengers.

Built by the shipyard Chantiers de l'Atlantique of France, for Royal

Caribbean Cruise Line in Miami, the vessel is equipped with refrig- eration systems from STAL Refrig- eration for air conditioning of ac- commodation, control room, work- shops, as well as for provision rooms.

The refrigeration systems consist of five large water chillers with Stal-

Maxi screw compressors and eight condensing units with Stal-Mini screw compressors. The refrigera- tion installations will produce a ther- mal capacity of about 18,000 kw.

New Anchor Developed

By Creative Marine

Creative Marine of Natchez,

Miss., has introduced what it calls the ultimate storm anchor—the

MAX—which it describes as one of the best holding and best tracking anchors made.

An underwater video is available from Creative Marine which it says shows the MAX to be the only an- chor to properly reset after breakout.

The company states that the MAX holds better and tracks better in all bottoms than any of the others be- cause its adjustable shank can be set for each bottom condition. Also, because its outer arm can be sepa- rated, the smaller anchors can be carried with ease and be stowed in small spaces. It fits any open-jawed bow roller.

The MAX is made of high-tensile steel and is galvanized. It is also very easy to retrieve.

Large sizes are available for ships and oil platforms. These can be made to suit your specific needs.
