orders are under way, according to

MTU.

A well-known name on land,

Deere recently launched its first two series of marine engines. Tar- geted at the small workboat mar- ket, the new line consists of the four-cylinder 300 Series 4039 and 4045 and the six-cylinder 400 Series 6078. The units will cover a power range of 80 to 250 hp.

A pair of 15-kW Deere genera- tors, for instance, supply power aboard the Royal Caribbean Cruise

Line passenger tender La Santa

Maria.

The 750 hp, six-cylinder Lugger 617A from Alaska Diesel Electric has been installed as main power on a number of small passenger boats.

One recent installation was aboard a new 82-foot, 149-passenger tour boat. The turbo-aftercooled Lug- gers provide excellent fuel consump- tion and reliability.

One of the world's largest manu- facturers of air-cooled engines, KHD recently launched a new liquid- cooled diesel series. The FM 1012/ 1013 will cover a power range of 60 to 255 hp, providing the company with a power coverage of 13 to 10,058 hp for a variety of main and auxil- iary applications in both the boat- building and shipbuilding markets.

Models in the new series will avail- able shortly, with the complete in production by mid-1994.

Earlier this year, Deutz MWM, a subsidiary of the KHD Group, added a 16-cylinder model to its 234Y en- gine series. The high-speed 1,400- hp diesel is suitable for applications aboard megayachts and commer- cial passenger vessels.

The most powerful engine ever offered by Swedish manufacturer

Volvo Penta is targeted for the small tug, towboat and general workboat market. The TAMD 162 is a turbo- charged and aftercooled in-line six- cylinder diesel, with a light-duty rating of 551 hp at 1,900 rpm, me- dium-duty rating of490 hp at 1,900 rpm, and heavy-duty rating of 470 hp at 1,800 rpm.

In the naval sector, the Fairbanks

Morse Engine Division of Coltec In- dustries has supplied the main pro- pulsion engines and ship service engine generators to Avondale Ship- yards Division, New Orleans, for installation aboard the U.S. Navy

LSD-41 Class ships and Henry J.

Kaiser (T-AO-187) Class fleet oil- ers.

The Waters (T-AGS-45), the

Navy's newest oceanographic sur- vey ship also under construction at

Avondale, will be fitted with five 2,500-kW generator sets powered by EMD diesel engines. Stewart &

Stevenson Services, Inc., New Or- leans, recently delivered. The ship will use the five EMD 16-cylinder 645-E7 diesels at 900 rpm to drive water-to-air-cooled KATO genera- tors in a diesel-electric propulsion system. Westinghouse Electric sup- plied the two propulsion motors for the plant. The Waters will be com- missioned early next year.

Through its agreement with New

Sulzer Diesel Ltd., Westinghouse

Marine Division will offer low- and medium-speed diesel engines for the

U.S. Navy's Strategic Sealift Ship

Construction Program.

Westinghouse Marine will sup- ply RTA type slow-speed diesels, which range in power up to 62,400 bhp, with engine ranges between 54 to 196 rpm. More than 1,200 Sulzer

RTA diesels are currently in service around the world in commercial and naval vessel propulsion applications.

Also available from

Westinghouse will be the Sulzer

ZA40S medium-speed engine, which generates up to 19,000 bhp. The

ZA40S offers high power concentra- tion and minimum space require- ments , allowing for engineering flex- ibility.

Isotta Fraschini and Voith-

Schneider continue to remain the propulsion system of choice for the

U.S. Navy's MHC coastal minehunter class, under construc- tion at Intermarine USA in Savan- nah, Ga., and Avondale Shipyards

Division. The 188-foot GRP-hulled vessels are powered by a combina- tion of two Isotta Fraschini AM ID36 amagnetic diesel engines, rated at 800 hp each at 1,800 rpm, and two

Voith-Schneider cycloidal propel- lers, which provide the MHC with 360-degree maneuverability.
