Skipperliner Shipyards Delivers Cummins-Powered Passenger Vessel The new 150-passenger vessel Jean Nicolet was recently launched and delivered by Skipperliner Ship- yards, Inc., LaCrosse, Wis., to own- ers Robert and Marlys Falkner of Bomar Cruise Lines of Sturgeon Bay, Wis. The vessel, which is currently in Stuart, Fla., for the winter season, is patterned after the combination freight and passenger vessels that operated on the Great Lakes in the late 1800s and early 1900s. She was designed by Timothy Graul Marine Design of Sturgeon Bay. With an overall length of 65 feet, breadth of 24 feet and draft of 4 feet JEAN NICOLET Equipment List Main engines (2) Cummins Propellers Michigan Wheel Generator engine Cummins Generator Marathon Reduction gears Twin Disc Engine controls Morse Steering controls .

The engines were supplied by Cummins Great Lakes, Inc., Chippewa Falls, Wis. Unlike most passenger vessels, the Jean Nicolet will not be oper- ated on a set route. A portion of her Wisconsin 1988 season will be scheduled with bus tours. The tour bus will discharge passengers at one of several locations within the Stur- geon Bay, Green Bay, Door County and Fox River areas. The passengers will then board the Jean Nicolet for point-to-point tours. The Jean Nicolet has facilities for serving meals and holding corporate meetings.

As one of the major producers of plate heat exchangers in the world, Pasilac Therm has, naturally, trans- ferred the principle of the plate heat exchanger technology to the fresh- water distiller. The plates which are used in the distillers are made of titanium. They do not corrode and the plate patters used only cause a very small scaling. Pasilac Therm A/S is concentrat- ing on the branch of marine indus- try that demands a continuous sup- ply of fresh water. To meet this demand, the new freshwater distill- er is built up of modules. "This means," says C.K. Postborg, man- aging director, "that instead of of- fering 1 x 12 m3/24 h, for instance, we can offer 2x6 m3/24 h and still only use a minimum of space. Hav- ing two distillers working in parallel, a minimum production, even if one of the distillers has been taken out of operation, is ensured."
