U.K.-based Cathelco Ltd., a sup- plier of pipework anti-fouling sys- tems, has been chosen to provide equipment for Disney Cruise

Line's Disney Magic and Disney

Wonder, due to be launched in 1998. The two, 85,000-ton ships will each have forward and aft sys- tems with sea chesff BW^mted anodes designed Vto I protect pipework wi^i ^j^^ra^Vf^^lO-

CaViBccfisysiemsliv^jased on the eVcufcyte Vrmriple and usu- ally cnns|g^ of copper and alu- minuiA anodes, fitted in the sea chest strainer or wired to a control panel.

The copper ions create an envi- ronment where barnacles and mussels cannot settle and the alu- minum ions form an anti-corrosive layer on the internal surface of pipes. In the case of cruise ships with mainly cupro-nickel pipework, a soft iron (FE) anode is substituted for the aluminum.

Other Cathelco-equipped cruise newbuilds include: Legend of the

Seas; Splendour of the Seas;

Grandeur of the Seas; Carnival

Destiny; Galaxy; and the upcom- ing Superstar Leo and Superstar

Virgo.
