PROPULSION UPDATE MAN B&W Diesel To Power Chandris Luxury Cruise Liner Being Built By Meyer Werft —Literature Available— MAN B&W Diesel GmbH, Augs- burg, West Germany, recently achieved a considerable sales suc- cess when its L40/54 four-stroke diesel engines were selected to pow- er the new Chandris Cruise Line's cruise ship, which will be built at the Papenburg yard of Meyer Werft. Seven sets of the medium-speed L40/54 design have been ordered by Meyer Werft for use aboard the new 45,000-grt cruise vessel. Four of the sets will be used to provide propul- sion for the 1,400-passenger ship, while the three remaining sets will be installed as auxiliary units. MAN B&W will supply two six- and two nine-cylinder engines which will de- velop a total of 19,960 kw in a "fa- ther-and-son" arrangement, which offers excellent operational flexibili- ty and economy, for propulsion. They will drive two variable-speed propellers via two duplex reduction gear units. For auxiliary power, 7,980 kw of the "son" engines will be utilized as well as another three six- cylinder engines to produce a total output of 9,900 kw. Under the $150-million contract, the Chandris cruise liner is sched- uled for delivery in the spring of 1990. She will have an overall length of 682-1/4 feet, width of 95 feet and service speed of 18 knots. Chandris plans to use her in the Caribbean cruise market.

The engines are now in operation as part of the world's most powerful merchant marine propulsion plant. The medium-speed L40/54, which incorporates several design features from the L58/64 diesel, is designed to operate in the 500-514 rpm range on heavy fuel with a vis- cosity of 700 est.
