Cegelec Chosen To Power Four RCCL Ships Cegelec was selected by Kvaerner Masa-Yards to supply the electrical package — including all equipment for on-board power generation and main electrical propulsion with the synchrodrive solution — for a sec- ond cruise ship for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCCL). The first order was last spring. Per ship, Cegelec will provide two 17MW -143/145 rpm synchronous motors associated to 12-pulse synchroconverters. Cegelec was also awarded a con- tract from Chantiers de 1' Atlantique for the electrical package for a pair of cruise ships (one firm, one option) also for RCCL.

OPS has started funded engineering work to provide a detailed E-BT develop- ment cost estimate, currently as- sessed at $75 million, and to confirm the feasibility of the project. Negotiations are in progress to finalize a definitive agreement by mid-March 1995 which will then be submitted to Soekor's, Engen's, and Oceaneering's respective boards of directors and to the government for final approval. The development plan for the E- BT field is based upon the use of subsea completed wells producing to a Mobile Offshore Production System (MOPS).
