Flender Werft Launches

Containership Santa Elena

On September 8, Flender Werft launched its latest containership, SantaElena, for shipowner Claus-Peter Offen. Eva

Maria Zehm, spouse of Flender

Werft's chairman of the board, acted as the sponsor for the vessel. The ship is a further development of the

Flender series FW 1200-4500, ves- sels which are reportedly distin- guished by effective economy and a large stowage capacity of 14-ton con- tainers at low fuel consumption. The vessel will be classed by

Germanischer Lloyd.

Propulsion is executed by a cross- head engine of the long-stroke MAN

B&W 8L80MC type, having a rating of27,440 kW at 93 rpm. The engine transmits its power to a CP propel- ler plant. For electrical power at sea,SantaElena is fitted with a shaft generator having an output of 1,500 kW. Delivery of the vessel is sched- uled for December, after which it will enter into a five year charter contract with Messrs. Senator Lines.

Flender Werft has won a follow-up contract for five additional vessels to be built for the same owner after delivery of the current project.

OUTLOOK FOR SHIP CONSTRUCTION

An average of 485 large ships have been built annually over the past three years.

Our analysis indicates the rate of construction will increase to between 605 and 765 large ships annually during the second half of the 1990's. With 52 percent of existing large ships over 15 years of age, replacement demand will be the principal driver of future construction requirements. — - Forecast — 765 - - Actual - -

Astilleros Espanoles Contracts To Build frain Forry For Swodish Interost 1992-94 1995-2000

Astilleros Espanoles has contracted with Swedish shipowner Sweferry for the construction of a large ferry for the carriage of trains, road ve- hicles, cabins, with a capacity of 600 passengers, to be operated between

Sweden and Germany. According to

Astilleros, the vessel will be built at the Puerto Real yard and will be delivered in 23 months. The ship's dimensions will be 659.1 ft. by 95.1 ft. (200 m by 29 m), with a dwt of 7,290 metric tons.

Sweferry, a subsidiary of Swed- ish national railway company

Statens Jarnvagar, currently owns a fleet of 10 highly specialized ves- sels. The new ferry will enter ser- vice in the Trelleborg-Rostock line, and will be able to complete five round trips per day, cruising at 21 knots, and completing a loading and unloading cycle in 75 minutes.

The ferry will be driven by four main engines geared to two shafts, and due to its large dimensions and the difficult access at the Port of

Trelleborg, will be fitted with three transverse thrusters as well as an extra rudder located at the bow, to allow for manuevering astern at 14 knots in a narrow channel. A dupli- cated navigation bridge will also be located to the aft. IMO regulations governing RoRo safety have been 60 accounted for in the ferry's design.

This increased demand will produce excellent opportunities for shipbuilders and marine equipment suppliers during the second half of the 1990's. But. . . When will the growth begin? Will there be a spike — or more gradual increase? What types of ships will be required? How many of each type? What's the value of the available market? Who are the customers? Who are the builders? What technology changes are occurring? An in-depth 550 page study completed by IMA in September addresses these questions.
