Name .. Navatek II

Navatek II is the second twin strut SWATH vessel designed and built under the banner of Navatek

Ships, Ltd., one of the subsidiaries of Pacific Marine, Honolulu. The vessel is a 149-passenger, 86-ft. (26.2-m) all-aluminum vessel, which features a unique fixed stabilizer with split rudder system.

Navatek II's propulsion package includes twin MTU 12V183 TE02 engines with ZF 255, 3.5:1 reverse/ reduction gears.

The shafts are Aquamet 17, and the wheels are from Bird-Johnson.

The hull form was designed and tank-tested by Pacific Marine Engi- neering Science Co. and Navatek

Ships. Computer lofting was pro- vided by Specialty Marine of

Scappoose,Ore.,andvesselinternals and shell plating were plasma cut and formed by Sovereign Yachts of

Seattle.

The vessel, approved for full ocean service, has its seakeeping charac- teristics augmented by a ballast sys- tem which is computer-controlled to automatically compensate for the movement of passengers, as well as such influences to heel and trim as wind.

The sensory and computer sys- tem was developed by Lockheed's

Marine Group in Sunnyvale, Calif.

Control of active canard fins, by

Koopnautic, is also integrated through the outboard computer.

WHICH CRUISE SHIP HAS CARRIER

Yes, the cruise ship at the top has dependable Carrier Transicold air conditioning.

The other, unfortunately, doesn't. And the passengers are steaming.

Carrier centrifugal, screw, and reciprocating chiller packages have earned a reputation for reliability and efficiency, backed by millions of operating hours on merchant, naval, and cruise ships, worldwide.

Our systems set the standard for smooth-running, quiet operation. Compact, spacesaving design speeds installation and service. What's more, our systems can be delivered in sections, then assembled belowdecks. This greatly simplifies retrofit, saving time and cost.

To meet international standards, our chiller and condensing systems feature advanced- design compressors and environmentally responsive refrigerants R-134a and R-22.

It's all backed by the most extensive service-and-parts network on earth. So insist on

Carrier Transicold. And steer clear of an unexpected turn of events.

Yard.... WaveMaster

Type.... Fast ferry

Name .. Nansha No. 28

WaveMaster Intl., an Australian fast ferry builder, delivered the

Nansha No. 28, a high-speed vessel reportedly offering extraordinary passenger comfort.

The 137.8-ft. (42-m) boat is ca- pable of carrying 385 passengers at 43.7 knots, and was built for Panyu

Nansha Port Passenger Transport

Co. Ltd. for the superfast Hong Kong to Nansha City route.

The ferry is powered by four MTU diesels tandem-mounted in each hull. The engines drive four

KaMeWa waterjets through special offset Reintjes gearboxes, used to allow straight drivelines.

To enhance passenger comfort at these high speeds, WaveMaster went to great lengths to reduce sound and residual vibration by: fitting a floating floor to the after half of the main deck; mounting the inner floor on a rubber grid inter- posed between it and the structural deck; and installing acoustic mate- rial in the rest of the deck, plus trunkways and other sound conduc- tors.
