Brown Brothers Wins

Stabilizer, Steering Gear

Orders Worth $17 Million

Brown Brothers, the Edinburgh,

Scotland-based specialists in marine motion control equipment, won or- ders for ship stabilizers and steering gears worth about $17 million.

Brown Brothers, part of the Ma- rine Engineering Division of Vickers

PLC, has been jointly selected by

Meyer Werft shipyard of Papenburg and P&O Cruises Ltd. to supply the ship stabilizer system for the 67,000- ton cruise liner under construction at the German yard. With an area of 231.3 square feet per fin, the VM600 stabilizers will reportedly be the larg- est ever fitted to a ship.

Previously, the 156-square-foot

Brown Brothers fins fitted to four of

Carnival Cruise Line's Fantasy Class of cruise liners were the largest in the world. The state-of-the-art tech- nology employed means that, where previously four fins would have been necessary to achieve required per- formance, now only one pair of VM

Series fins is needed.

Kvaerner Masa-Yards of Helsinki have also ordered 166.7-square-foot

VM500 stabilizers for two additional

Fantasy Class vessels to be built for

CCL.

Brown Brothers will also manu- facture the stabilizer and steering systems for two light frigates for the

Malaysian Navy under construction at Yarrows Shipbuilders in Glasgow.

Brown Brothers will also supply Yar- rows Shipbuilders with ancillary equipment for the latest batch of

Royal Navy Type 23 frigates which were recently awarded to the

Scotstoun yard.
