sair 600 or Corsair 900, each con- structed with high strength, low weight material to help reduce cor- rosion and increase speed. The 60- meter long Corsair 600 will have a capacity to carry approximately 800 passengers and 50 cars. The gas turbine-powered water jet propul- sion system is expected to provide a service speed of 40 knots. Norwegian-based Kvaerner group, which launched the 40M Fly- ing Cat in 1990, has received sev- eral orders for new 40M Flying Cats due for delivery through 1993. Three 262 passenger, 38-knot 40M Flying Cats will be in service between Hong Kong and the Shenzhen airport by late 1993. The vessels are to be built in the Kvaerner Fjellstrand Singapore yard. Sched- uled for delivery in January is a 400- passenger version of the 40M Flying Cat, which is planned to have a service speed of 33 knots from twin MTU 16V engines, driving KaMeWa waterjets.

The features allows the unit to require no manual pri- mary voltage relinking, as opera- tors can power up and weld using any of the three primary voltages: 208v single phase; and 230v or 460v single or three phase. Voltage ad- justs automatically on three mod- els, XMT-300 CC/CV, CC/TIG and 300 CC. Miller Electric's XMT Inverter welding power source. Units provide up to 200 or 300 amperes of constant current or con- stant current/constant voltage DC output, depending on the model, weigh between 72 and 84 pounds, and come in a fiberglass case. The units feature solid state power and control circuitry, a cooling system which exchanges all air through the rear of the unit to reduce contami- nants drawn through the power source and digital meters.

When used in a pressure washer or in conjunction with agitation, usu- ally brushes or brooms, the surfac- tants in Admiral-Clean penetrate the contaminates. This causes the oil to disperse into droplets, which are more vulnerable to natural bio- degradation and can be dispersed by dilution in water. Admiral-Clean is 99.98 percent biodegradable within seven days when used as an oil dispersant. Admiral-Clean can be used with most Msd systems and oily water separators. When Admiral-Clean is left in a storage tank with oily wa- ter, most of the oil floats to the sur- face where it may be skimmed off, reducing the amount of oily water disposal. According to the company, Admi- ral-Clean has no associated health or environmental hazards and is so safe to work with that standard eye protection or ventilation precautions are not required.
