cept of Antony Prince, president of GTR Campbell, who has been with the organization 23 years and was George Campbell's right- hand man. The design was devel- oped jointly by GTR Campbell and Algoship Designers Ltd. of Nassau, the Dalian Ship Design and Research Institute, and the Dalian Shipyard, which is to build all eight vessels on order. Fantasy was conceived as an open, multi-purpose dry cargo, con- tainer and self trimming dry bulk carrier, 594 ft. (181 m) long overall, with a 28,000-dwt capacity on a draft of 31.8 ft. (9.7 m) and a beam of 85.3 ft. (26 m); depth is 47.2 ft. (14.4 m). Grain capacity is 36,300 cu. m. while a total of approxi- mately 980 TEUs (including the provision for 12 TEU reefers) can be carried, 300 on deck in two tiers, and the remainder in the five holds in five tiers. Five 30-ton-capacity electro-hydraulic deck cranes are installed — one on the forecastle and two twin units between holds 2 and 3, 4 and 5. Propulsion is from a Dalian-built MAN B&W 5S50MC, producing 5,706 kW at 120 rpm for a fully- laden service speed of 14 knots on a daily fuel consumption of 23.5 tons. Scanmix Announces New Line Of Single Lever Faucets Scanmix Corp. announced a new line of single lever Marine Quality faucets for commercial marine use. These faucets provide internal mechanical presets for hot water and for volume flow. The faucet can be preset by ship's engineering to conserve water without sacrific- ing passenger comfort. The single lever also has a built-in device which reportedly reduces the flow to 70 percent when the handle is released. Full flow is attained by holding the lever fully open. All faucets have the safety feature of a hot water "child" stop which can be preset to avoid scalding. All Marine Quality faucets use a sin- gle, standardized, interchangeable cartridge and have the patented "soft closing," anti-water hammer system built in. Faucets have ceramic sealing (no rubber wash- ers) and are constructed from solid cast marine brass with a chrome finish.
