DeckMaster Gauging System

Wins Outstanding Promt Award

The new DeckMaster Gauging System introduced by Metritape has earned Marine Log' 1990 Innova- tive Marine Product Award. DeckMaster was specifically recognized for it's contribution to operating efficiency and safely providing owners with a maximum return on investment when faced with comply- ing with new U.S. Coast Guard regulation for vapor recovery.

The DeckMaster cargo gauging and overfill protection systems utilize state of the art electronics packaged for the rigors of tm-deck service. Comprehensive in function, yet simple to use, the systems provide readout of ullage, Hi .Harm, overfill alarm, self test and system scanning abilities at each tank.

Although completely independent electrically, both systems can share a common mounting arrangement providing significant cost saving. 4kmwmb The DeckMaster system utilizes resis- tance-tape level sensors, having over 25 years marine experience, employing no moving parts and providing a higfi level of reliability and trouble free operation required ly barge and tanker operators. ern Tug and Barge.

MAN B&W Diesel Engines

Ordered For World's Most

Powerful Containerships

Five post-Panamax size container ships will be propelled by the most powerful marine diesel engines ever ordered. Each of the 4,000 TEU- plus ships booked from Hyundai

Heavy Industries by Hyundai Mer- chant Marine (HMMC) is specified with a MAN B&W 12-cylinder

K90MC-C engine offering a maxi- mum output of 70,320 bhp at 104 rpm.

The 900-mm bore/2,300-mm stroke K90MC-C design is tailored to the demands of new generations of large containerships requiring speeds up to 25 knots. The shorter stroke and lighter weight also pro- mote a more compact engine room for optimum box capacity from ships with either Panamax or wider-than-

Panamax dimensions.

Excellent service experience is reported from the installations of this type of engine aboard the East

Asiatic Company's 4,000 TEU containerships Arosia and Alsia.

Each was built to Panamax dimen- sions by Mitsui in 1990, with pro- pulsion plants based on a 10-cylin- der model developing 55,900 bhp.

The engines for the new HMMC containership series are under con- struction by the Engine & Machin- ery Division of Hyundai Heavy In- dustries for delivery to the yard dur- ing 1992.

Recent orders for MAN B&W

Diesel's engines include the series of eight 4,400-TEU containerships being built at Samsung Shipbuild- ing for Hapag-Lloyd with 9K90MC engines; and the Malaysian Inter- national Shipping Corporation's 4,400 TEU post-Panamax Bunga

Pelangl, newly commissioned from

Hyundai Heavy Industries with a 10K90MCengine developing 55,400 bhp at 93 rpm.

The K90MC and MC-C models are the largest In MAN B&W's world market.
