<BODY> <div> Outstanding Ships (continued) is capable of carrying 2,000 TEUs, 650 TEUs of which are the Conair system for transporting refrigerated cargo. She is powered by a single 22,080- hp Sulzer main diesel engine and has a service speed of 18.5 knots. This vessel embodies a develop- ment of Flender Werft's successful standard geared containerships, "Flender 2000," which incorporate some of the major "Ship of the Future" principles. These principles form part of a comprehensive scheme aiming at improved operat- ing efficiency and reduced manning levels. The Ship Operating Center, for example, is arranged for one- man watch-keeping at sea. All the necessary controls and instruments are provided on the bridge.

With a length overall of 804 feet, beam of 106 feet, draft of 26 feet and passenger capacity of 1,950, the Crown Princess is one of the largest cruise ships afloat. She features ex- tensive passenger facilities includ- ing lounges, night clubs, disco, casi- no, shopping arcades, cafeteria, con- ference room/cinema, two swim- ming pools, two Jacuzzis, and other amenities. About 80 percent of the 792 passenger cabins have outer bal- conies. Alfa-Laval, SpA, Italy, supplied the complete cooling system for the liner. The ship's graceful and very dis- tinctive silhouette looks somewhat like that of a dolphin.

The 705-foot-long by 105-foot- wide carrier is the third vessel of the Panamax Optima type developed by Hitachi Zosen as the largest Pana- ma-passable standard economy ship. The Cemtex Orient has a molded depth of 61 feet and scant- ling draft of 44 feet. She is capable of multi-cargo transportation, such as grain, ore and coal. The main engine is the energy- saving Hitachi Zosen-MAN B&W 6S60MCE-type diesel which, with derated use, enables it to save fuel significantly. The engine has a max- imum continuous rating of 10,360 hp at 102 rpm. Service speed for the bulker is 16 knots. The Hitachi Zosen Super Stream Duct is installed astern to improve propulsion efficiency. Four 25-ton deck cranes are in- stalled to enhance cargo-handling efficiency.
