and control, alarm and monitoring systems.

The specification package for the hull design should be on the street by late April. Bids are expected from Todd Shipyards, and a consor- tium of small yards in the Seattle area who are proposing a modular construction package similar to that utilized in the construction of the two Spirit class ferries recently built in British Columbia.

Astilleros Espanoles Sells 20

Percent Of Manises To MAN

B&W Diesel A/S

Spanish state-owned shipbuilder

Astilleros Espanoles has partially privatized its diesel engine factory in Manises, Valencia, by selling a 20 percent of the shares to MAN

B&W Diesel A/S, the Danish two- stroke diesel engine designer and manufacturer.

Manises factory has become a new company, named Manises Die- sel Engine Company, S.A., acting independently and separately off the Astilleros Espanoles group.

Nevertheless, the new company maintains the strong links with the parent group deriving from the share of 80 percent kept by Astilleros

Espanoles.

Manises Diesel Engine Co. manu- factures two-stroke diesel engines in unit sizes of up to 75,000 bhp for both marine propulsion and sta- tionary power generation purposes.

AESA has been licensed from

MAN B&W Diesel A/S to manufac- ture two-stroke diesel engines since 1939, and the cooperation between the Spanish shipbuilding group and the Danish manufacturer has been increasing over the years, particu- larly in the technical field.

The Manises factory has mainly delivered engines to the Spanish market, Spanish shipyards and power generation plants in the

Spanish Balearic and Canary is- lands, and few times to foreign markets.

Through the new basis of coop- eration with MAN B&W Diesel A/

S, the Manises Diesel Engine Co. will get an extended access to other markets. For more information on the new venture from Astilleros
