Westinghouse Receives $98 M Order For Ship's

Service Turbine Generators

Westinghouse Electric Corp. has received a $98 million order from

Newport News Shipbuilding to pro- vide eight ship's service turbine gen- erator (SSTG) sets for CVN-76, the

U.S. Navy's most recently autho- rized Nimitz class aircraft carrier.

Westinghouse's Marine Division, in Sunnyvale, Calif., will manufac- ture the turbines, condensers, and bedplates for the SSTGs. The gen- erators will be provided by the company's electro-mechanical divi- sion in Cheswick, Pa. The SSTGs will be delivered in mid-1998.

Ship's service generators provide electricity for ship electronics and general service load. Westinghouse has provided eight SSTGs for each of the eight Nimitz class carriers built to date, reportedly the largest marine generators ever constructed.

U.S., U.K. Ship Management

Businesses Form Merger

Two ship management busi- nesses, Interocean Management

Corp. (IOM), based in N.J., and

Ugland Brothers Limited (UBL), a

British firm, have formed a merger.

The strategic alliance was an- nounced by the companies that will be managed by the new merger:

Totem Resources Corporation (TRC), the Seattle-based Alaska cargo ship operator; and London- based Ugland International pic, a shipowner, manager, and drydock operator.

According to Robert B.

McMillen, co-chairman and CEO of TRC, this is the first time two established marine management businesses have combined forces on an international scale. The new company is qualified for the man- agement of U.S. and foreign flag vessels.

June, 1995

The agreement for the merger was reached with both TRC and

Ugland acquiring a 25 percent own- ership in the other's subsidy. The organization, which will be called

Interocean Ugland Management

Corporation in the U.S., will have 11 offices. There are presently 27 vessels under its management.

Proposal Selected For

Maritech Funding

Bender Shipbuilding & Repair

Co., Inc.'s proposal "Reefer 21, a

Small Reefer Ship for Worldwide

Training" has been selected for fund- ing under the Maritech program.

As part of the initiative for revitaliz- ing the U.S. commercial shipbuild- ing industry, the Advanced Research

Projects Agency solicited proposals for cost-shared projects under the

Maritech Program, in collaboration with the Maritime Administration. "Reefer 21" is a design for a self- sustaining reefer ship with a 200,000-cu.-ft. capacity, capable of accommodating several different kinds of temperature-sensitive car- goes, providing more flexibility than conventionally-designed reefer ships.

ENVIRONMENTS DEMAND a

POLLUTION-FREE RELIABILITY I * . . -;.»» i *

Working in the world's most ecologically sensitive environment, the Antarctic Icebreaker and research vessel, Nathaniel B. Palmer relies on 640 mm (25")

Thor-Lube stern tube bearings for pollution free reliability. The ship is also equipped with

Thordon rudder and thruster bearing systems.

Today's environmental challenges and government regulation demand a move from traditional oil lubricated stern tube systems to pollution-free alternatives.

The Thor-Lube bearing system combines proven Thordon XL bearings with Thor-Lube; a water soluble, environmentally friendly lubricant to deliver pollution-free performance. Wear life is comparable to conventional oil-lubricated systems and the system is considered equivalent to oil-lubricated by most Classification Societies.

Higher operating efficiencies can be expected with the Thor-Lube system. Operating friction is lower, particularly at start-up and higher shaft speeds. Similar in size to oil-lubricated bearings,

Thor-Lube bearings can be as easily integrated into conversion projects as new build.

For pollution-free reliability in your marine bearing application contact

Thordon Bearings Inc. or your local

Thordon distributor (located in over 55 countries around the world).
