REGENT SKY RECEIVES WARTSILA DIESELS-
The refit work the Regent Sky is receiving at
Alvis Shipyard, Greece, is comparable to a newbuilding. The vessel is owned by Greek shipowner Captain A. Lelakis and will be fitted in early 1992 with two 8-cylinder and two 6- cylinder Warsila Vasa 46 main engines and four 8-cylinder Warsila Vasa 32 auxiliary engines.
Total machinery output will be 37,180 kw with all the ship's engines to be elastically mounted.
The engines will be delivered from the Wartsila diesel factories in Turku and Vaasa, Finland.
The Regent Sky is scheduled for completion in 1994 and will then begin worldwide operation, though she will primarily be sailing in the
Caribbean.
