CROWN PRINCESS Cruise Ship Fincantieri-CNI The first of two luxurious 70,000- grt cruise ships, the Crown Princess, ordered by P&O Cruises was deliv- ered this past year by the Monfal- cone yard of Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani. With a length overall of 804 feet, beam of 106 feet, draft of 26 feet and passenger capacity of 1,950, the Crown Princess is one of the largest cruise ships afloat. She features ex- tensive passenger facilities includ- ing lounges, night clubs, disco, casi- no, shopping arcades, cafeteria, con- ference room/cinema, two swim- ming pools, two jacuzzis, and other amenities. About 80 percent of the 792 passenger cabins have outer bal- conies. Alfa-Laval, SpA, Italy, supplied the complete cooling system for the liner. The ship's graceful and very dis- tinctive silhouette looks somewhat like that of a dolphin. The profile of the "head" constitutes a large front dome over the Belvedere Bar/Casi- no. Designed for worldwide cruising, the vessel is powered by a highly advanced diesel-electric plant con- sisting of four 6.6KV, 60-Hz main alternators driven through flexible couplings by four MAN B&W eight- AUDUBON EXPRESS Passenger Catamaran Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding In the summer of 1990, Gladding- Hearn Shipbuilding, The Duclos Corp., delivered the M/V Audubon Express, the first high-speed cata- maran (INCAT) for passenger serv- ice on the Mississippi River.

Powered by twin 1,600-hp General Motors De- troit Diesel 16V149TI main engines, supplied by Stewart & Stevenson, and driven by two KaMeWa model 63S2 water jets, the ferry was de- signed for medium speeds up to 26 knots (30 mph) on the Mississippi.
