The sea trials of Azipod-pro- pelled cruise ship Elation were recently successfully completed after its construction at

Kvaerner Masa-Yards' (KMY)

Helsinki yard for Carnival

Cruise Lines. The $300 million, 2,040-passenger ship was tested in the Gulf of Finland.

Elation is fitted with two 14

MW Azipod units azimuthing through 360 degrees, and incor- porates an electric AC motor which is located inside the pro- peller pod.

The Azipod units replace the internal electric propulsion motors, shaft lines, rudders and rudder machinery along with three 1,500 kW tunnel stern thrusters, found on the six exist- ing 70,400 GT/2,600 passenger fantasy-class cruise liners built by KMY.

The tests revealed an increase of eight percent efficiency, a half-knot of speed and savings of 40 tons of fuel per week in nor- mal operation. The turning diameter of the ship was decreased by 30 percent. After sea trials, Elation returned to the yard for a final fitting, and was scheduled for delivery this month.

A single compact design which monitors all shipboard generator functions and can, when needed, start up the standby unit and place it on-line while dropping the unit experiencing problems off-line and shutting it down all in 7 seconds. It alerts the duty engineer who, by that time, is acknowledging the alarm that alerted him. He can then proceed to check what is now his off-line generator without a flashlight. • ABS and USCG approved. • Data buss control.
