U.S.-Based Repair Service Introduced by Cityvarvet AB Cityvarvet AB, previously Go- taverken Cityvarvet AB, recently introduced a new United States- based service for their subsidiary, Ciserve AB, at a reception in the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Ciserve is the travel arm of Sweden's Gothenberg-based ship- yard that specializes in providing highly skilled labor to vessels at any port or while at sea. Based in Norfolk, Va., at the NORSHIPCO shipyard, the ser- vice began with several diesel en- gine repairs and the complete overhaul of the main engines on the passenger ship Daphne. During the reception, City- varvet's vice president Bengt Fink described the condition of the ship repair industry and dispelled some of the misconceptions about Swe- den's climate and accessibility due to its geographic position. Mr. Fink explained that the yard's reputa- tion for efficiency is well known to Europeans, making them frequent callers at the facility. Cityvarvet is now actively contacting the United States maritime fraternity to better acquaint them with their ship repair capabilities. Cityvarvet dropped the Gotav- erken name from its former title, Gotaverken Cityvarvet AB. in or- der to emphasize their specializa- tion in repair only, as opposed to the newbuilding and engine man- ufacturing of the large Gotaver- ken group. Cityvarvet's facilities include nine drydocks, with the largest being the floating drydock for 240,000-deadweight-ton ves- sels, and the mammoth graving dock that will handle up to 400.000- dwt vessels.

They can be used for applications that require isolating fluids or hot gases from bearings and other mechanisms. Specific applications include com- pressors and aircraft auxiliary power units. The spring-loaded clearance seals operate by maintaining a minimal clearance between ring and shaft. Matching the ring assembly's ex- pansion rate to that of the shaft keeps clearance and, thereby, leakage content throughout the operating range. The new design requires no pressure differential, permits unlimited shaft movement and limits leakage. For more information on the new seal design.
