Outstanding Oceangoing Vessels of 1985 (continued) the transverse bulkheads make it possible to load/discharge the entire ship via only one of the outside ramps. All navigation equipment is of the latest design. The Raytheon radar installation has an anti-collision computer with free choice of picture presentation and other features. The Kockumation autopilot is of the totally adaptive, fuel-saving type with set-radius steering for turns. In addition to a Decca Navi- gator, a Magnavox satellite naviga- tion system is installed. The speed log equipment is dupli- cated, a Jungner pressure log for deep waters and a Krupp-Atlas doppler log for more restricted WALLENIUS LINES % Isolde built by Kockums. Centrico, Inc., 100 Fairway Court, Northvale, N) 07647 (201)767-3900 Circle 175 on Reader Service Card OnlyWestfalias On-Demand Purifying System Removes M the Dirt and Water from your 1010 fuel. Whether your fuel oil is heavier or lighter than water, only Westfalia's two-stage Unitrol/Secutrol system assures 4 maximum purity even under widely varying feed conditions. Here's why. Other oil purification systems are timer-controlled, which means they de-sludge only at pre-set intervals. If heavy seas stir-up the "muck" in your fuel tanks, the intervals may be too far apart. Result: dirt gets into your day tank and fuel lines, causing disastrous engine wear...In the Westfalia system, a unique sensor continuously monitors de-sludging intervals, discharging dirt and water only when the sediment-holding compartment is full. So there's no chance for dirt to get into your fuel because of too few de-sludgings — or fuel wastage from too-frequent de-sludgings. And either stage can be operated independently, thus adding even more flexibility. No water in fuel lines. With Westfalia's unique design, there's no way water can enter the clean fuel line. With other systems, this is a distinct possibility. Reliable purification. No matter how wide the variations in density or feed characteristics, you get the most efficient, reliable purification. Automatically, with no need for gravity disc changes. For maximum reliability we've substituted simplicity for complex electronics and intricate circuitry. Thus Westfalia purifiers are more dependable and much less likely to break down than other separators. Contact Centrico for the Westfalia system you need. waters.

Designed to carry iron ore and coal, the huge ship is operating mainly in transportation of iron ore between Australia and Europe, and from Brazil to Japan under contracts of affreightment with Hamersley Iron Pty. Ltd. and Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd., respectively. The Apricot has an overall length of about 984 feet, beam of 156 feet, depth of 82 feet, and maximum draft of 60.16 feet. Her main engine is a low-speed Hitachi/B&W 6L80MCE diesel with a maximum continuous output of 16,500 bhp at 83 rpm, providing a service speed of 13 knots. A range of energy-saving factors and various devices allow the ship to operate with a crew of 28.
