builders at Wallsend, U.K., and Chantiers du Nord et de la Medi- terranee at Dunkerque, France, is building one. Main propulsion machinery in the Atlantic Companion consists of a six-cylinder, slow-speed Go- taverken/B&W 6L90GBE diesel engine developing a maximum continuous rating of 23,800 bhp at 97 rpm, direct-connected to a Stone Manganese Marine propeller. Electrical power is provided by four Wartsila/Vasa diesel engines, two 8R32 and two 6R32, directly connected to Norsk Elektrisk/ Brown Boveri alternators of 2,310 kw and 1,722 kw, respectively. Main and auxiliary engines are all capable of burning heavy fuel oil, providing a "single-fuel" in- stallation. The ship is fitted with two KaMeWa thrusters, one for- ward and one aft.

Ericsson Cathodic protection Bergsoe Coatings International Galley equipment Electrolux May 1,1984 Considerable effort was ex- pended in achieving a functional and economic bridge layout. The totally enclosed wheelhouse is ar- ranged with control desks forward but having a walkway directly be- hind the windows. The bridge wing consoles are equipped for complete control of the main engine, bow and stern thrusters, and rudder, and have data readouts on all ma- neuvering functions. For maximum safety, sophisti- cated equipment installed includes an integrated Sperry radar system with ARPA functions and position information connected on-line to the adaptive automatic pilot, and a satellite communications system making possible fast communica- tions via telephone and telex and incorporating a high-speed data link for loading information. Cargo control instrumentation, featuring a Kockumation Load- master computer, as well as the ship's safety instrumentation, is located in a separate control room on the starboard side of the super- structure, close to the lifeboats. The location of this control room gives easy access from cargo com- partments and the accommoda- tions area, as well as convenient escape routes in case of an emergency.

Air does not spark. This guarantees the funda- mental safety inherent in all our lifting equipment for explosion hazard zones. Our air hoists are available in special designs with modified load-bearing elements for use in the highest-risk zones. These types preclude the possibility of any metal sparking. JDN air hoists for loads from 100 kg to 1001 are of low weight in relation to their load-bearing capacities and are, therefore, easily transported. The lifting and lowering speeds can be accurately regulated by means of the cable control. All our lifting equipment is very sturdy and extremely resistant to aggressive environmental conditions.
