"The Stena contract for the HSS fast ferries is a first-of-a- kind for GE in the commercial marine industry, although we currently have long-standing gas turbine maintenance agreements with various marine and indus- trial customers," said GE Marine Engines General Manager Bill Millhaem. "The agreement with Stena Line illustrates that GE offers customers not only the equipment but the value-added expertise and knowledge to maintain this machinery." The agreement covers full onboard and shop repair mainte- nance for the 12 GE LM aeroderivative gas turbines on three HSS fast ferries, Stena Explorer, Stena Voyager and Stena Discovery, which began commercial operation in April 1996, July 1996 and June 1997, respectively. Each semi-swath fast ferry has two GE LM1600 and two GE LM2500 aeroderivative gas tur- bines in a COGAG configuration. The LM1600s are rated at 13.1 megawatts and the LM2500s are rated at 20.2 megawatts. The vessels were built by Finnyards in Rauma, Finland and measure 413 x 131 ft. (126 x 40 m). Each vessel can achieve speeds of more than 40 knots and has the capacity for 1,500 pas- sengers. The vessels are operat- ed by Stena Line on the Irish Sea between the U.K. and The Netherlands.
