Handled by the ship's gear, provision is made for fitting the panels at var- ious heights in the holds as well as vertically at various longitudinal locations to permit cargo separa- tion. The hatchcover sets and associated hydraulic operating equipment have been engineered to function effectively in the most extreme winter conditions in the

Baltic, St. Lawrence Seaway and

Russia's Arctic regions, where

Mammoet anticipates extensive project activity. As the symbol of her primary purpose, the two

Huisman Itrec mast cranes stooled on the starboard side of the hatchway are each designed to lift 400-tons at 60-ft. (18-m) radius, or up to 350-tons as far as 67.4 ft. (20.5 m) outboard, slewing

The pairing of the equipment can allow piece weights of up to 800 tons to be handled, and still offering a tandem lift capacity of 700-tons at an outreach of 29.5 ft. (9 m) from the ship's starboard side. Auxiliary hoists are provided for the efficient working of lighter cargoes.

The primary power installation in Happy River is a nine-cylinder, in-line example of the Wartsila 46 medium-speed engine, devel- oping a maximum continuous rating of 8,775 kW at 500 rpm, and coupled to a Renk Tacke reduction gearbox. Rotational speed is thereby reduced to 130 rpm at the Lips controllable pitch propeller. — David Tinsley
