(NKK) in Japan this year delivered the world's first oceangoing, sail-assist- ed motor vessel, the 30,900-dwt bulk carrier Aqua City, to her owner, (continued on page 18) PROVEN Flawlessly surpassing the trial of time. In a marine engine, dependability is an obvious benefit. The dependability that keeps an engine running day in and day out, in all conditions, offers safety advantages that are obvious to those who go to sea. The dependability that keeps a vessel in service, doing its job, run after run, free of downtime, has rewards that are obvi- ous to those who mind the bottom line. For over 75 years Volvo Penta Marine engines have proven they can deliver that kind of time-tested dependability. But there's another definition of de- pendability, not so obvious, but vital to the profitable operation of any working craft or fleet of working craft. And that's dependability when it comes to service and support. It begins with the installation. We put all of our experience at your disposal, from the correct engine specs to pro- peller calculations, from choice of hydraulic equipment and power take-off dimensioning to speed and torque requirements. VOLVO When it comes to ma i ntenance we understand that time spent waiting is money lost. That's why we stock a full line of spare parts at convenient locations all around the country, ready to be deliv- ered when you need them. In addition, Volvo Penta technicians are always on hand to solve particular problems. At Volvo Penta we build a complete line of diesel engines for workboats, from 60 h.p. to 400 h.p. Including turbo- charged and aftercooled models that boost power and efficiency potential Volvo Penta has made a firm commit- ment to back up its investment in the North American Marine Industry. A commitment that has built an outstand- ing network of service and support. A system that is your guarantee that we'll be here tomorrow to back up what we sell today.
