Propel Ferries

Danish yard 0rskov Staalskibsvaerft AS has finalized the design for two, 465.7 x 83.3- ft. (142 x 25.4-m), double-ended train/car fer- ries on order from DSB Rederei AS, Danish

State Railways. The ships — which will oper- ate on the 45-min. crossing between Rodby in

Denmark and Puttgarden in Germany — feature an innovative propulsion package consisting of Finnish equipment. The deci- sion was made to link four 3,000-kW ABB

Sami Megastar diesel-electric power units to four 3,000-kW Contaz propulsors. The new

We'll

Repaint It!

Our belief is so strong in the corrosion prevention prop- erties of The ISOTROL/ISOGUARD System that we guarantee it!

The revolutionary ISOTROL/ISOGUARD System has approached the rust problem in an unconventional way with low surface tension and low viscosity and a high content of total solids. These characteristics allow

ISOTROL/ISOGUARD to penetrate the substrate of rust- ed steel surfaces encapsulating all rust particles. In addi- tion it encapsulates all inorganic salts removing them from the electrolic system.

In addition ISOTROL/ISOGUARD bonds onto the sur- faces mother lattice, eliminating all air and moisture pockets which when dry, presents a pore-free surface to the atmosphere.

POWER & PROPULSION SYSTEM

DSB Double - Ended Ferry ferries, with two propulsors fitted at the sides of each end, have made it possible to obtain an optimum hull form and to fit a specially designed bulbous bow at each end.

The decision to opt for the new generation Contaz propulsor unit is, according to Aquamaster-Rauma, a milestone in its strategy to make Contaz a well known brand of azimuthing thrusters for oceangoing ships. The incorporated contra-rotating propellers, known for high efficiency, and low noise and vibra- tion level, are also streamlined in appearance to pro- vide higher speed than traditional thrusters.

The first units were delivered early this year for an

RMT 6000 Norwegian platform supply vessel build- ing at Brattvaag Shipyard in Norway, for delivery next summer to DOF Management AS (two smaller units, each producing 2,200 kW have been pur- chased).

Wartsila 26: Technologically Advanced

Power

The new Wartsila 26 — using the company's low

NOx technology — is designed to optimize space and ease of maintenance, while meeting the most strin- gent emissions standards of the day. With a maxi- mum power of 310 kW per cylinder and speeds of 900 and 1,000 rpm, the engine is designed for main propulsion applications. It is available in in-line (6, 8 and 9 cylinders) or Vee configurations (12,16 and 18 cylinders), covering an output range from 1,450 to 5,600 kW. The enginemaker claims that low emis- sions and low fuel consumption is achieved via high firing pressures, combined with optimum cylinder dimensions and state-of-the-art engine components.
