According to Don Logan, MMS vice president, the systems will be installed on the eight other Del Monte reefers under construction at AESA.

FANTASY Wartsila Marine The 70,000-grt superliner Fanta- sy, built by Finnish shipbuilder Wartsila Marine Industries, was de- livered to Carnival Cruise Lines, Miami, Fla. The 855-foot, 2,600-passenger vessel is one of the most expensive ships ever built. The 14-passenger deck Fantasy and her two sister cruise vessels under construction at Wartsila Marine each feature 2 x 14 MW Cyclo propulsion drives, 6.6 kv switchboards, four 10.3 MVA main and two 6.8 MVA auxiliary genera- tors, plus six thruster motors and the main transformers, all engi- neered and supplied by ABB Ma- rine of Helsinki. Six Wartsila-Sulzer diesel engines with a total of more than 57,000 bhp are the prime mov- ers of the diesel-electric propulsion system. The Fantasy is also fitted with two highly skewed KaMeWa type 144 x F3/4W controllable-pitch propellers. Six Brunvoll 1,500-kw thrusters provide the ship with added maneuverability.
