Oscar Hughes, project leader with overall responsibility for the Royal Austra- lian Navy's new submarine project, recently vis- ited Sweden's Hedemora Diesel AB to test-start a prototype engine that is one of a series of engines intended for six submarines. The order, which includes a total of 19 engines, including logistics, is a significant breakthrough for Hedemora Diesel in the inter- national naval vessel market. It is also confirma- tion that the company is manufacturing engines that satisfy the technological requirements of the 1990s. The test-start of the prototype engine is an important milestone in the total delivery pro- gram, ordered by Australian Submarine Corpo- ration, ASC, which will be completed in stages between 1990 and 1995. Hedemora Diesel engines are currently in- stalled in a large number of industrial, marine, naval-defense and railway application areas, worldwide. For the 1990s, Hedemora Diesel is focusing increasingly on the development of high-per- formance engines for naval-defense installa- tions.

The 136-foot, triple-decked excursion vessel "Grand Romance" recently began excursion ser- vice on the St. Johns River between Sanford and Jacksonville, Fla. Designed by John Brever, an associate of Florida Naval Architects, Inc. of East Palatka, the 600-passenger vessel was constructed by Freeport Shipbuilding & Marine Repair. Powered by a pair of fuel-efficient NT-855-N Cummins engines with two NT-855G/GC2 Cummins generators—all supplied by Cummins Alabama, Inc.—the Grand Romance replaces its predecessor, the 110-foot "Rivership Romance," that operated out from Sanford for seven years.
