sair 600 or Corsair 900, each con- structed with high strength, low weight material to help reduce cor- rosion and increase speed. The 60- meter long Corsair 600 will have a capacity to carry approximately 800 passengers and 50 cars. The gas turbine-powered water jet propul- sion system is expected to provide a service speed of 40 knots.

Norwegian-based Kvaerner group, which launched the 40M Fly- ing Cat in 1990, has received sev- eral orders for new 40M Flying Cats due for delivery through 1993.

Three 262 passenger, 38-knot 40M Flying Cats will be in service between Hong Kong and the

Shenzhen airport by late 1993. The vessels are to be built in the Kvaerner

Fjellstrand Singapore yard. Sched- uled for delivery in January is a 400- passenger version of the 40M Flying

Cat, which is planned to have a service speed of 33 knots from twin

MTU 16V engines, driving KaMeWa waterjets.

KaMeWa Establishes New

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Office

KaMeWa, a world leader in ma- rine propulsion technology, strengthens its international pro- file with the opening of its new Fort

Lauderdale, Fla. sales office.

KaMeWa pins its success on the international market to several fac- tors, including its ability to meet the service and price needs of custom- ers, as well as its advanced marine laboratory for hydrodynamic re- search. KaMeWa customers are supported by qualified technicians in more than 20 service units around the world. The company offers a complete range of controllable-pitch and fixed-pitch propellers, to highly skewed types for low vibration/pres- sure pulse levels and quiet running, to supercaviating propellers for high speed craft, and shock resistance and ice strengthened propellers up to Arctic standards.

KaMewa also manufactures ro- tatable thrusters, used for propul- sion and positioning of semi- submersibles, drill ships, diving sup- port vessels, supply boats and tugs, as well as merchant vessels.

In the field of water jet propul- sion, the company is an acknowl- edged technical leader. Earlier this year three KaMeWa 20,000 hp wa- ter jets powered the racing yacht,

Destriero, on its record-breaking

Blue Riband transatlantic run. Fi- nally, KaMeWa also designs and produces electronic remote control load control, joystick and auxiliary equipment.

XMT Portable Welder

From Miller Electric

Features 'Auto-Link'

XMT Series inverter welding power sources now have Auto-Link, a unique Miller Electric feature which makes the unit easier to in- stall and use. The features allows the unit to require no manual pri- mary voltage relinking, as opera- tors can power up and weld using any of the three primary voltages: 208v single phase; and 230v or 460v single or three phase. Voltage ad- justs automatically on three mod- els, XMT-300 CC/CV, CC/TIG and 300 CC.

Miller Electric's XMT Inverter welding power source.

Units provide up to 200 or 300 amperes of constant current or con- stant current/constant voltage DC output, depending on the model, weigh between 72 and 84 pounds, and come in a fiberglass case. The units feature solid state power and control circuitry, a cooling system which exchanges all air through the rear of the unit to reduce contami- nants drawn through the power source and digital meters.

Admiralty Lubricants

Introduces Environmentally

Safe Degreaser/Cleaner

Admiralty Lubricants, Ltd., of

West Babylon, N.Y., has developed an environmentally safe degreaser/ cleaner called Admiral-Clean, a non- toxic, non-flammable and non-caus- tic system of surface active agents (surfactants) and oil solubilizers which desolve grease and grime into microscopic droplets.

When used in a pressure washer or in conjunction with agitation, usu- ally brushes or brooms, the surfac- tants in Admiral-Clean penetrate the contaminates. This causes the oil to disperse into droplets, which are more vulnerable to natural bio- degradation and can be dispersed by dilution in water. Admiral-Clean is 99.98 percent biodegradable within seven days when used as an oil dispersant.

Admiral-Clean can be used with most Msd systems and oily water separators. When Admiral-Clean is left in a storage tank with oily wa- ter, most of the oil floats to the sur- face where it may be skimmed off, reducing the amount of oily water disposal.

According to the company, Admi- ral-Clean has no associated health or environmental hazards and is so safe to work with that standard eye protection or ventilation precautions are not required.
