Southwest Marine $100M Contract

The U.S. Navy granted a contract worth more than $100 million to Southwest Marine (SWM).

The five-year, phased-maintenance contract is the follow-on to ships the company has been repairing since 1985, including USS Denver, USS MT. Ver- non and USS Anchorage. SWM initially won the first LPD/LSD contract in 1985, followed by a second contract in 1990 and a third in 1995.

This current contract, which is the company's fourth consecutive, has a total of 16 availabilities.

The first scheduled nine-week availability includ- ed the drydocking of USS Denver this September.

President Clinton is expected to sign the FY 01 $8.6 billion military construction bill by mid-July, which will allow for emergency supplemental funding for ship depot maintenance for FY 00.

Wartsila To Outfit Costa Classica

Wartsila NSD has received a contract for addi- tional diesel engines from Italian cruise ship owner Costa Crociere to outfit its ship Costa Clas- sica with six more Sulzer diesel engines for increased propulsion power and shipboard electri- cal supplies. Cammell Laird will perform the mod- ification of the 1991-built Costa Classica this fall for a March 2001 completion. The vessel will be extended by 147 ft. (44.8 m) to 871 ft. (265.4 m) overall, in addition to a new full-length super- structure deck. Passenger occupancy will expand from 1,308 to 2,020 persons, and the gross ton- nage will go from 52,950 to 78,000. The vessel's propulsion plant is being extended for an increased service speed of 21 knots in spite of increased ship's length. Power for the thruster and shipboard electrical services will be provided by six Sulzer engines with a combined output of 27,000 kW.
