Schichau Seebeckwerft reported that European

Union authorities have given the green light for the construction of two RoRo ferries, and the yard has signed contracts. The ships were ordered by COTU-

NAV, the national Tunisian carrier, and will be built as hull numbers 1093 and 1094. Both are scheduled for delivery in 1997.

Meanwhile, in July the yard launched what is report- ed to be the largest combined rail/trailer/passenger ferry under construction for DFO (Deutsche

Fahrgeselschaft Ostsee).

The 656-ft. (200-m) ferry is scheduled for delivery in

December.

It is powered by four, 6,300-kW diesel engines driving two variable pitch propellers through two twin reduc- tion gears.

Safety and performance is enhanced with an anti- heeling system for loading and unloading, and all safe- ty equipment is to the latest standards.
