Wartsila Diesel, Babcock &

Wilcox Sign Cooperative

Manufacturing Agreement

Wartsila Diesel North America,

Inc. has recently completed a coop- erative manufacturing agreement with The Babcock & Wilcox Co. (B&W).

According to terms of this agree- ment, diesel engines will be manu- factured at an existing B&W pro- duction facility located in Mount

Vernon, Ind.

The Mount Vernon site will be used to manufacture Wartsila Vasa 46 diesel engines, some of which will be utilized in the construction of modular ship stern sections.

The facility will also be used to assemble auxiliary power generat- ing sets such as Wartsila's Vasa 32 and Wartsila 25 models.

Among the many markets cur- rently served from Mount Vernon are the U.S. Navy's Strategic Sealift program, the U.S. Coast Guard's

Polar Class Ice-Breaker, commer- cial shipbuilding, as well as diesel power plants in developing coun- tries.

Daniel W. Kabel, Wartsila

Diesel's vice president responsible for spearheading the cooperative manufacturing venture, reported that manufacturing capabilities add a new dimension to his company's market responsiveness to custom- ers in the Western Hemisphere.

The emphasis on commercial marine and defense applications at

Mount Vernon represents a deepen- ing of Wartsila Diesel's activities in this market.

As one of the world's largest manu- facturer of medium-speed diesel en- gines, Wartsila Diesel reportedly pioneered the complete engine room concept through its development of

PROPAC, a fully-integrated propul- sion system that includes engines, propellers, gears and control sys- tems coordinated into a single mod- ule.

GF Marine Contracts To

Cruise Ship

More than 50 air handling units (HVAC) and 1,300 cabin units to- gether with pipes and fittings com- pose the delivery from GF Marine to the Greek cruise ship Regent Sky, currently being built at Avlis Ship- yard in Greece. The cruise ship, contracted by the Lelakis Group, is 728 feet long and has 12 decks.

Most of the air handling units are complemented by an energy recov- ery system to reduce the need for cooling installation.

The refrigeration plants are of chilled water systems, and the cool- ing medium in use shall be the non- ozone depleting refrigerant HFC22, type R 134A.

GF Marine's sales manager, Roar

Sather, in charge of the offer and negotiations with the shipyard, said, "We have obtained the contract in hard international competition. The contract has been negotiated in close cooperation with Carrier Transicold division of Carrier Inc., which is the world's biggest supplier of refrigera- tion plants." According to GF Ma- rine owner Gerhard Flate, the or- der totals more than $5.5 million.
