(Continued from page 64) veloping 3,250 kW at 1,640 rpm. Each is con- nected to a 1,500-mm KaMeWa four-bladed skewed propeller through a Reintjes gearbox, the center unit having a trolling valve to provide a loiter facility at two to four knots. Reduced speed operation is possible in the event of either engine room becoming flooded. Furthermore the vessel is divided into nine water, smoke and gas- proof compartments extending from keel to weatherdeck. All the machinery is arranged for unmanned operation; control and monitoring is effected from an air-conditioned machinery con- trol room (MCR) equipped with CCTV and a Regulator Europa electronic surveillance and control system. Each engine is monitored by a 64 channel data acquisition unit which is inter- rogated by two processing units and the informa- tion relayed to both bridge and MCR. A built-in trend function allows for permanent recording of all channels. A high standard of air conditioned accommodation and recreational facilities has been provided for the normal ship's complement of 21 (with four extra berths for "visitors"), and active roll damping fins are fitted to enhance both crew comfort and platform performance in beam and quartering seas. The vessel is equipped with a 45-knot 21.3-ft.(6.5-m) RIB for rescue, boarding and high speed pursuit in shallow wa- ter. Manufactured by Delta, this daughter craft is powered by a 330-hp, 7.4-liter Mercruiser engine coupled to a PP100 waterjet. According to Robert McBurney, McTay's commercial direc- tor, the contract to build the Greek Customs Patrol Boat A.L. 50 was won against intense competition from European warship builders. Indeed, cost effectiveness is being highlighted by the three major concerns behind the Europatrol series, which includes versions spanning 150 to 600 tons displacement — all of which can be provided with a variety of naval weapon systems. Kohlenberg Celebrates 100 Years Kahlenberg Bros. Co. of Two Rivers, Wis. started as a gasoline engine manufacturer in 1895, and in the hundred years since, has devel- oped an expanded product line and a reputation for quality service and supply to the maritime industry. Now well-known as a manufacturer of airhorns and other quality marine equipment, Kahlenberg began making propellers in 1906, then airhorns in 1932. Marine diesel engine production stopped in 1964, but overall the company's product line has significantly expanded: today Kahlenberg's many offerings to the marine market include propellers up to 120 in. in diameter (three, four and five-blade); airhorns up to 12 in. in diameter (diaphragm size); piston horns; fog signal timers, automatic and at will switches; air compressors; air tanks; propeller RPRs; propeller shafts; air whistles; subcontract machine work; muff cou- plings; air strainers and whistle valves and lights. The company's air horns are manufactured for just about every size of vessel, from aircraft carriers on down. Kahlenberg expects the marine market's future to include more com- puter-driven machinery, new propeller designs and a stronger shipbuilding industry and com- mercial fleet.

Kvichak Marine recently delivered two high- speed, multipurpose oil spill response vessels (OSRVs). The all-aluminum vessels were de- signed and built for Clean Rivers Cooperative and the Maritime Fire and Safety Association, both of Portland, Ore. The shallow-draft boats are powered by 380-hp Ford engines driving Hamilton waterjets, giving them response speeds well in excess of 30 knots. The new vessels are 36.6 ft. (11.1 m) long, with a beam of 11 ft. (3.4 m). Each has an enclosed pilothouse for all-weather operations, a bow ramp for boom handling, a l,000-lb.-capacity davit, a rescue platform, tow- ing equipment, and a LORI oil recovery system.
