$540-Million Order For Two Cruise Ships Placed By HAL With Bremer Vulkan Shipyard Bremer Vulkan shipyard in Bremen will con- struct two cruise ships for Holland America Line (HAL) at a cost of $540 million. Bremer Vulkan will begin construction of the vessels as soon as details for financing have been worked out of what is now an agreement in principle between HAL and the shipyard. The 600-gross-ton cruise ships have been designed to have an overall length of about 857 feet and width of 100 feet, and a service speed of about 21 knots. They will each have 1,876 berths, two special hospitality suites and 20 oth- er suites with private balconies. The vessels,which will operate in the U.S. west coast and Caribbean markets, are sched- uled to be delivered in April 1991 and April 1992.

Offshore Technology Corporation, one of the largest commercial, marine hydrodynamics la- boratories in the U.S., is known worldwide for its facilities for testing hydrodynamic models of ships and offshore platforms. Arctec Engineer- ing, Incorporated, is equally well known in the field of arctic marine, coastal and environmental engineering and for model and full scale testing in ice-covered waters. The merger was designed to streamline the internal operations of the firm and to provide a single source of integrated engineering and tech- nical services to support clients whose opera- tions are conducted in hostile marine environ- ments.

The cannister permits mounting of the Coast- line Life Raft on deck or in exposed locations, placements many owners of small sailboats and center-console fishermen have wanted to make. The valise has been principally intended for sto- wage inside lockers or within the console. Avon Coastline was developed for smaller boats and for inshore/coastal navigation. Less expensive than Avon's standard ocean life rafts, Coastline still provides the security of two inde- pendent buoyance chambers (each adequate to support the rated capacity of six persons with 3.4 cubic feet/person), lanyard-triggered CO-2 inflation, protective canopy, moderate ballast system to resist overturning and the reassurance of Avon quality and reliability The fiberglass deck cannister adds just 2 pounds to the valise's packed weight to 56 pounds. It is strong enough to be stood on or to withstand impacts from sailing or fishing tackle. Berwyn hydrostatic releases are optional.
