Power (AMP) program that requires ships to shut down their diesel genera- tors while in port but Evergreen expects many more ports to follow LA's lead.

The Group estimates that the cost of meeting AMP requirements amounts to approximately $2m per vessel.

Evergreen has chosen to class those S- class vessels allocated to Hatsu with

Lloyd's Register (LR) while those for operation by Evergreen Marine

Corporation will be classed with the

American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). It has obtained LR's EP (environment pro- tection) notation for the Hatsu ships and the equivalent ABS ES (environment safety) notation for the EIS vessels.

With an overall length of 300 m and a beam of 42.8 m, the S-class vessels are able to carry containers 17 rows across on deck and 15 rows across below deck.

They are 78,700 dwt on a service draft of 14.2 m. Each vessel has a single 10- cylinder Mitsubishi Sulzer 10RTA96C main engine developing 74,700 bhp (54,900 kW) to provide for a service speed of 25.3 knots.

Malaysian Made Buoy

Tender

The Marine Department of Malyasia is taking delivery of the 131.2 x 32.8 ft. (40 x 10 m) buoy tender Permata from the NGV Tech Shipyard near Port

Kelang. With a raised foc'sle and low midships deck the vessel is equipped for servicing navigational aides. A large crane mounted forward will be used to deploy and retrieve the buoys. A shallow two meter draft combined with a pair of electrically powered spuds located on the stern quarters can be used to create a stable working platform in shallower harbor areas. A pair of keel-cooled

Cummins KTA50 M2 engines, each rated for 1,875 hp (1,398 kW) @ 1950 rpm, supplied by Scott and English (Malaysia) provide main propulsion power for the vessel. Large deck mount- ed cooling fans pump ample air to the engine room. The engines turn fixed pitch open propellers through ZF

W7000 gears. Accommodation is pro- vided for a crew of 17. Tankage includes about 42,000 liters of fuel and about 23,000 liters of potable water.
