The first of these two diesel-elec- trically powered ships is to be deliv- ered to Astramar in the spring of 1990, with the second to follow in 1991. Each 1,950-passenger liner, with a service speed of 19.5-knots, will feature extensive passenger fa- cilities including lounges, night clubs, disco, casino, shopping ar- cades, cafeteria, conference room/ cinema, swimming pools and other amenities. About 80 percent of the 792 passenger cabins will have outer balconies. There will also be 355 cabins for the crew of 700. Designed for worldwide cruising, the vessels will be powered by a highly advanced diesel-electric plant. There will be four 6.6KV, 60- Hz main alternators driven through a flexible coupling by a MAN B&W eight-cylinder, in-line L58/64 four- stroke, medium-speed engine, with a maximum continuous rating of 9,720 kw at 400 rpms. These alter- nators will supply power through transformers to the two 12,000-kw, three-phase synchronous-type pro- Astramar's 70,000-grt cruise ship, yard newbuilding No. 5839, taking shape at the Monfalcone, Italy, shipyard of Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani. The 1,950-passenger vessel will feature diesel-electric propul- sion. pulsion motors, each directly driv- ing a fixed-pitch propeller via shaft- ing. In addition to supplying 6,600/ 450 volt, 60 Hz electrical power to the propulsion motors, this same power is fed to the motor-driven thrusters and air conditioning com- pressors, while other motors are (continued on page 19) SHIP'S STORES Marine Head Oily Water Separator Quality Products For The Worldwide Marine Industry Microflush Marine Heads in stainless steel or vitreous china use only two quarts of water per flush.
