I Japanese shipowner Shin Nihon- fii Ferry has ordered two 173,000 ferry liners from the shipyard likawajima Harima Heavy Indus- lies (IHI) in Tokoyo. The maxi- mum speed of the liners will be 30.8 lots. The propulsion machinery is fmposed of two 18 PC4.2B diesel lgines running on heavy fuel;

Manufactured by Diesel United in le AIOI factory. The unit output is 13,850 kW at 410 rpm. Each engine ml drive a controllable pitch pro- leller through a IHI planetary re- luction gear and a Geislinger elas- tic coupling. Each engine, weighing

B68 tons, will be installed on 20 resilient pads made of rubber to reduce hull vibrations and increase phe passengers' comfort.

Caterpillar Inc.

Caterpillar continues to refine and devlop its offering of engines for the marine market. Of most signifi- cance to the workboat market is the addition of the 3500 Series B en- gines. Caterpillar took a top selling family of engines and strengthened them to handle electronics and the advantages electronics offer. The mechanical 3500 engines are the

No. 1 selling engines in their horse- power range, the company reports.

But electronics improve fuel effi- ciency and emissions levels, and provide enhanced diagnostic and monitoring capabilities.

The 3500 Series B electronically controlled engines show an average increase in power output of 17 to 30 percent while either reducing fuel consumption by as much as 15 per- cent with some emission reduction il'I'.Ml jjSffrSI |nj •TOSI / ^-"^pS and torop
