Sundance, a consor- tium of the MacDonald Corporation of Seattle, Johnson Line of Stock- holm, and Effoa Finland Steamship Company of Helsinki, bought the cruise vessel from DFDS Line of Denmark last November. To be re- named Stardancer, the Scandinavia was completed in 1982 by the Dubi- geon Normandie yard in Nantes, France. The liner is due to arrive at the Blohm + Voss yard on April 10 this year, with redelivery scheduled for "the 28th of that month. B + V is understood to have been the low bidder for the conversion job, but the deciding factor may have been the fact that the Hamburg yard had the available berth to meet the very tight schedule.

The system has been accepted for Navy shipboard installations in ac- cordance with Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) publications, and also has been accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard for use on U.S.-flag vessels in Class A, B and C bulkhead and decks. It complies with the Interna- tional Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) A-60 fire tests and is approved for A-60 class bulk- heads and decks. It has also been accepted by Lloyd's Register of Shipping and by the American Bu- reau of Shipping. The brochure contains color pho- tos that illustrate the simplicity of steps necessary to complete the GK- A60 Multi-Cable Transit System, beginning with installing the endfit- ting compression plate into the frame, then installing the first row of cables followed by the stay plate above, and then additional rows of cables and stay plates as required. The fill-in plate is then installed and the top bolt tightened until all air gaps are removed between pack- ing modules. The system is then complete. Specifics, along with line draw- ings, are given for vaiious parts of the assembly for the system, such as the frame, endfitting compression plate, fill-in plate, stay plate, and packing modules.
