Meyer Werft Launches Two Sister Passenger Ships For Indonesia An impressive double launching was held recently at the Papenburg, West Germany, shipyard of Meyer Werft. Numerous guests attended the ceremony, including some from Indonesia. Prior to launch, the 6,400-grt ves- sels were named Kelimutu, after a mountain on the island of Flores in Indonesia, and Lawit, after a moun- tain in Kalimantan, Borneo. The sponsor of both ships was Mrs. R.A. Soerjati Roesmin Nurjadin, wife of the Indonesian Minister of Communication. These newbuildings are the fifth and sixth passenger vessels built by the yard for the Directorate General of Sea Communication, Jakarta, and follow a series of four 14,000-grt passenger ships built for the Repub- lic of Indonesia between mid-83 and early 1985. Delivery of the Kelimutu is scheduled for July this year, with the Lawit to follow in September. The two ships, which have a cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles, will be employed in the Indonesian inter- island service. Accommodations are provided for 920 passengers and a crew of 84. Propulsion for each ship is pro- vided by two MaK 6MU453 diesel engines, each developing 2,176 bhp at 600 rpm. Service speed at 90 per- cent of mcr and 15 percent sea mar- gin will be 14 knots. For enhanced maneuverability, each ship is equip- ped with a bow thruster with con- trollable-pitch propeller, providing a thrust of about 7.5 tons. The ships have an overall length of 327.4 feet, beam of 59 feet, depth to weather deck of 30.8 feet, and draft of 13.8 feet. For the safety of passengers and crew, eight motor lifeboats and 20 life rafts are pro- vided, meeting the highest require- ments of SOLAS 1974. The ships are built in compliance with the reg- ulations of the Indonesian classifi- m .vin i 1«»i., 1 >« The 6,400-grt passenger ship Lawit is launched at Meyer Werft's Papenburg yard.
