Marine Diesel Annual (Continued from page 51) propulsion power systems from a single source, integrating all aspects of propul- sion and maneuvering systems from the engine, through the gear box to the ship's propellers and controls.

The global commercial shipbuilding market is expected to grow significantly over the next decade. In the face of com- petitive pressures, environmental regu- lations and greater complexity in ship design, shipowners and shipbuilders are now seeking to outsource substantial elements of ship construction, including marine propulsion power systems, to suppliers. Under the co-operation agree- ment, Wartsila NSD, with 560 marine support people worldwide, will act as prime contractor to shipyards for total marine propulsion power systems. It will provide diesel engine based prime movers and gearboxes while John

Crane-Lips will supply on-board propulsion and sealing systems. Using innovative and advanced technology, the co-operation agreement addresses the entire commercial marine market, from fishing vessels and tug boats to cruise ships and VLCC's, as well as defense markets, and should provide significant growth opportunities for both compa- nies. Both Wartsila NSD and John

Crane-Lips retain the right to market their own product ranges independently.

Wartsila NSD Helps Powers

Greek Ferry Revolution

In the past two years, Wartsila NSD has sold medium-speed diesel engines to the value of more than $220 million for ferries, RoRo vessels, cruise ships and other vessels contracted by Greek owners. These involve a total of 103 main diesel engines having an aggregate power of 1.13 million kW.

Most of these newbuildings are ferries for upgrading domestic services to the

Greek islands and for providing greater capacities on the Adriatic services. A recent order is for the engines to be installed in the pair of 30,000 grt ferries contracted by Attica Enterprises at the

German shipyard Flender Werft. Due for delivery early in 2002, these ferries will each be powered by four Wartsila 12V46C engines of 48,000 kW output for a service speed of 28.5 knots.

Maxim: Keeping It Quiet

As a pioneer in the field of engine exhaust silencing and with more than 100 years of experience, MAXIM prod- ucts, manufactured by Beaird Industries in Shreveport, La., has earned its place in the silencer industry. A complete line of silencers is available for noise control of both dry or wet engine exhausts, high pressure gas vents, compressor and blower silencers, ASME Code designs for pressure service, waste heat recov- ery, and catalytic units. Many stock and standard design silencer models are available but one of MAXIM's strong points is its ability to custom design a silencer to meet a specific design requirement.
