V-Line Compressor Gets LR

Approval

Hamworthy Marine's V-Line range of marine starting air com- pressors — launched early in 1995 — has received Lloyd's type ap- proval. The new V-Line range has enjoyed many new orders since its international launch, the manu- facturer reports. One such order was for a Canadian Coast Guard vessel, and another for the MT

Kishore for Essar Sisco Ship Man- agement of Madras, India. A key benefit of the compressor touted by

Hamworthy is the fact that the compressor requires maintenance inspection only after 2,000 hours.

The V-Line compressor also re- quires little wiring, only three fix- ing points and a minimal support structure.
