Lloyd's Approves Triple Engine Diesel Installations For New Generation Of Containerships Four fast triple-screw containerships now on order to Lloyd's Register class at Burmeister and Wain, Denmark (two ships), Oresundsvarvet A/B, Sweden (one ship), and the Mitsui Ship- building & Engineering Co. Ltd., Japan (one ship), will each have power installations ap- proved by Lloyd's Register consisting of three main diesel engines delivering up to 75,000 hp to three propellers. The ship to be built in Sweden will have a 12-cylinder Gotaverken DM 850/1700 VGS 12U center engine with 10-cylinder engines of similar design port and starboard. The other three ships to be built in Denmark and Japan will have a 12-cylinder Burmeister & Wain K84 EF center engine with 9-cylinder engines of similar design port and starboard. All the ships will have fixed-pitch port and starboard propellers and controllable-pitch center propellers—the most powerful yet made by Karl- stads Mekaniska Werkstad, Sweden. This means that the center engine can be operated at a speed which will avoid resonance between engines and so reduce vibration. These new containerships for owners, Scan- service (East Asiatic Co. Ltd., Swedish East Asia Co. Ltd., and Wilhelm Wilheltnsen), should be capable of about 26 knots on three engines, or 20 knots using the center engine only. At present there are 24 fully cellular container- ships over 20,000 grt in service, and 13 of these are classed with Lloyd's Register. Out of a total of 41 fully cellular containerships over 30,000 grt under construction or on order throughout the world, 19 are to be built to Lloyd's Register class. Professional JAMES E. BEST P.E.
