Circle 227 on Reader Service Card the passenger transport service between Sumoto and Tsuna, Hyogo Prefecture, and New Kansai

International Airport, which opened on Septem- ber 4.

The high-speed passenger vessel is the third vessel delivered to the same owner, following the

Trident Ace and the Artemis.

The Apollon is a hybrid-type vessel, one that has twin hulls equipped with submerged hydro- foils fore and aft.

The weight of the vessel is supported both by the buoyancy of the two hulls and the lift of the two hydrofoils. Two diesel engines and two waterjets, manufactured by Niigata Engineer- ing Co., Ltd., reportedly minimize noise and vibration.

The Apollon is 101 ft. (31 m) long, with a breadth of 33 ft. (10 m), depth of 11 ft. (3.5 m) and draft of 6.5 ft. (2 m).

Workskiff 23 Now Available To

GSA Buyers

The new 23-ft. version of the Workskiff, Inc. craft sports a "walk- through" pilothouse that gives access to both the aft and fore parts of the vessel. Workskiff 23s have recently been approved for government agency purchase through the Government Services

Administration.

The Workskiff 23 heavy aluminum boat can now be ordered by Government Services Admin- istration (GSA) buyers. GSA approval makes the boats available to U.S. government operators.

A number of Workskiff boats have been sold to government agencies for use as research, survey, and patrol vessels. The strength of the boats is based on monocoque engineering, which carries the stress out to the thick, high-strength marine aluminum plating instead of internal structures.

Petrobras Block Booking For ASRY

Hitachi Zosen Delivers Apollon, Foil-

Assisted Catamaran

Hitachi Zosen completed the Apollon, a foil- assisted catamaran in its Superjet-30 series, at its Kanagawa Works and delivered the vessel to its owner, Fuke Kaiun Co., Ltd. in Osaka. The vessel, the last of seven constructed consecu- tively by Hitachi Zosen, was commissioned in

One of the three VLCCs owned by Petrobras of Brazil scheduled for work at ASRY in a block booking, the Jose Do Patrocinio, shown in drydock at ASRY in August 1989 during an earlier repair.

Tanker owner Petrobras of Brazil has awarded

Arab Ship Repair Yard (ASRY) a block booking for three of its VLCCs, two of which, the Jose Do

Patrocinio, 279,913 dwt, and Felipe Camarao, 279,688 dwt, will carry out their third Special

Survey at ASRY, while the Vidal De Negreiros, 292,823 dwt, will undergo an intermediate sur- vey prior to its fourth Special Survey in 1997.

Taken together, repairs to the three vessels are expected to total 126 days, of which 30 days are scheduled for repairs in ASRY's 500,000-dwt graving dock.

The Jose Do Patrocinio was the first vessel to dock and arrived in the yard in August, followed by the second vessel in September. The third vessel will arrive in December.

Blasting and painting of the main deck, cargo slop and ballast tanks is expected to total 31,000- sq.-m per ship and dock work will include the renewal of rudder bushes, tailshaft survey and propeller polishing.

Other items will include overhaul of valves, renewal of piping (including hydraulic lines), overhaul of main turbine, main boiler, cargo pumps, generator turbine, coolers, heaters, com- pressors and other machinery. Electrical repairs include overhauls to alternators, motors, trans- formers, switchboards, and engine room fans, and lighting circuits will be tested. Major re- pairs, renewals and overhaul will be carried out to the automatic boiler and other automation systems. Attention will also be given to servicing and repairs to radar, radio equipment, and the fire detection system.
