The en- gines which have supplied these marine services are the 501-KF and the 570/571-KF. The 501-KF has been uprated twice: first by increasing the engine firing temperature from 1,800° F to 1,860° F, and then by increasing the firing temperature to 1,935° F. The second uprated model is called the 501-KF5. Overall, the 501-KF upratings offer more power and higher fuel efficiencies with no in- crease in engine weight and a maxi- mum number of common parts. The 571-KF engine offers many improvements geared to increase life and reduce costs. The improve- ments include: newly designed an- nular combustion; improved turbine vane coatings; long-life hot gas path thermocouples; single crystal first turbine blades; strengthened com- pressor blades; and compressor vari- able vane schedule optimization. For information on the 501-KF and/or the 570/571-KF from Allison Engine Co., Circle 42 on Reader Service Card Bollinger To Build 145-Foot Utility/Supply Boat Bollinger Machine Shop & Ship- yard of Lockport, La. and Gilbert Cheramie Boats of Golden Meadow, La. agreed in principle on the con- struction of a 145-foot utility supply vessel. The boat, for service in the offshore marine industry, is sched- uled for an October 1994 delivery. The contract provides an option for one additional vessel, to be deliv- ered in March of 1995. The project will be managed by Brian Cheramie for the owner, and by Charlie Hebert for the shipyard. Bollinger began operation in 1946 and is a full-service ship construc- tion and repair company, with fa- cilities in Algiers, Harvey, Larose and Lockport.

Avail- able with four, six, eight and nine cylinders, the S20 now has a maxi- mum continuous output of 160 kW/ cylinder (217.5 bhp/cylinder) at 1,000 rpm, regardless of the type of fuel used. It covers the power range from 460 to 1,440 kW (620-1,960 bhp) over a speed range of 720 to 1,000 rpm. The standardized ratings give a 10 percent increase in output on heavy fuel oil to exactly the rating already employed for installation using marine diesel oil. With a 200mm cylinder bore and a 300mm piston stroke, the Sulzer S20 is pur- pose-designed for pier-to-pier con- tinuous operation on heavy fuels. It has real 700 cSt heavy fuel capabil- ity, being able to accept fuels up to ISO class RMH55 in generating set applications. Along with the stan- dardized ratings, the engine specifi- cation including the turbocharging match has been unified.
