E.H. Wachs Introduces New Model HPS-15 Hydrostatic Power Supply The E.H. Wachs Company of Wheeling, 111., recently introduced its new Model HPS-15, Hydrostatic Power Supply which, according to the company, offers all the advan- tages of larger stationary hydraulic power stations yet is portable, light- weight, and designed for the most demanding needs. The HPS-15 is completely self- contained in a compact package to ensure ease of movement in tight places and minimize vulnerability to component damage. The power unit is also lightweight compared to sim- ilar units. Its weight advantage, con- venient handles and detachable cas- ter cart make it possible for two people to effectively maneuver the unit. The unit is well suited for power plant pipe cutting and end prepara- tion work where variable output is required to power a wide range of hydraulic tools and equipment. It is also the right choice for fabrication shops and isolated field sites where a smooth, continuous power source is needed.

Christened the M/S Athena, the 580-foot cruise ferry was named by Marianne Myrsten, daughter of Rederi Ab Slite president of com- mittee Lars Myrsten. The chris- tening ceremony for the Athena also included the initial plate cutting for her sister ship, which is expected to be delivered in the spring of 1990. The Athena, with 573 cabins and 1,742 berths, will be able to carry about 2,200 passengers. She will have a capacity for 620 cars or 62 trucks and 145 cars. The main particulars of the Athena include a breadth of 95 feet and draft of 19.6 feet. She will be powered by four flexible-mounted 7,965-hp Sulzer-Wartsila 9ZAL40S diesel engines to speeds of 21 knots. Auxiliary power will be supplied by four 2,250-kw Wartsila 6R32D die- sel generator sets. The three new luxury ferries be- ing built by Wartsila Marine, the other two were ordered from Bro- dosplit of Yugoslavia, will all be fit- ted with the advanced navigation and command systems NACOS 25 from Krupp Atlas Elektronik GmbH. NACOS 25 was developed to ensure safe navigation of these ships on their routes between Stock- holm and Helsinki. In particular the skerries between Stockholm and Turku are among the most danger- ous shipping waters in the world. NACOS 25 will offer the vessel's precise navigation in these difficult waters. The M/S Athena is intended to operate in the 24-hour cruise traffic on the route between Stockholm and Mariehamn beginning in March or April of next year. She will offer passengers many amenities includ- ing 70 luxuriously appointed cabins, an a la carte resturant, a buffet res- taurant, dance bar, piano bar, lounges, sauna, fitness center and disco. The building of the Athena marks a milestone for Wartsila, which is utilizing a new production unit pro- cedure for the first time. Wartsila Marine divided its shipyard into production units, with each being responsible for its returns. This has enabled the shipbuilder to better utilize the special know-how in the different branches.
