Artist's rendering of 1,900-passenger cruise ship that Wartsila Turku Shipyard will build for Kloster Cruises A/S. New vessel will operate in Caribbean area as part of Norwegian Caribbean Lines fleet. Ship is scheduled for May '88 delivery. Wartsila Wins $122-Million Contract To Build Big Cruise Ship For Kloster Wartsila has been awarded a $122-million contract for construc- tion of a 1,900 passenger cruise liner for the Norwegian shipowner Klos- ter Cruise A/S. According to the contract, signed recently in Oslo, the Finnish builder's Turku Ship- yard will deliver the 40,000-gt vessel in the spring of 1988. The contract includes an option for a second simi- lar vessel to be placed with Wartsila. The design of the vessel was a coop- erative venture between Kloster Cruise and both the Turku and Hel- sinki Shipyards of the Wartsila Shipbuilding Division. The new ship will have an overall length of 695.5 feet, beam of 93.2 feet, and draft of 22.3 feet. Main propulsion will be by four Wartsila/ Sulzer 8 ZAL 40S medium-speed diesels with a total output of 28,720 bhp. Electrical power will be pro- vided by four 2,900-kw generators driven by Wartsila Vasa 8 R 32D engines. The new vessels will join the Nor- wegian Caribbean Lines fleet which already has five ships, including the Norway (ex-France).

Olsen & Co. recently acquired the tanker Al-Oyour (ex-Athene) on long-term charter from foreign in- terests, who had purchased the ves- sel recently for about $8.3 million. Built by Kockums in Malmo in 1974, the 260,000-dwt tanker has been renamed Nock Dolian. Olsen also took control of two oth- er tankers recently, the Wangli and the Wangskog, each of 128,400 dwt. The addition of the three vessels, which will sail under the Liberian flag, has doubled the Norwegian company's tanker capacity. Wilson Walton Introduces Improved Version Of Aquamatic Impressed Current Cathodic Protection System An improved version of the wide- ly used Aquamatic impressed cur- rent cathodic protection system, in- corporating a larger, 225-amp anode and a more compact power unit, has been introduced by Wilson Walton International. The first installation of the new system will be on the new Hull 321, a 108,000-ton tanker currently un- der construction at China Ship- building Corporation for CPC of Taiwan. Advantages of the larger 225-amp anode are significantly reduced in- stallation costs, since only two are required instead of four 150-amp anodes; secondly, being manufac- tured from platinized titanium, a considerable savings in weight is achieved. Also the cost per amp sup- plied is reduced by 12 percent using the 225-amp anodes. The Aquamat- ic 3 power unit also offers advan- tages over the previous unit, being lighter in weight, more compact and cheaper to install. Developed in the U.K. under an exclusive agreement with Westing- house, Aquamatic 3 now features thyristor control and LED bar- graphs for output display of the sys- tem parameters. An important advantage of the unit's light weight and compact size is that Aquamatic ICCP systems can now be retrofitted to existing vessels much more easily and eco- nomically than before, making the Aquamatic 3 more competitive with traditional sacrificial anode sys- tems.
