concert with shipbuilder Fincantieri to fulfill the stringent safety brief issued by owners P&O by providing a diesel electric plant supplying an electrical grid control system. The system is designed to put the ship on top of power availability within the cruise industry, a strong statement given the propulsion and hotel power needs. Six Sulzer engines drive generators which supply the grid with 11.2 MW each. Thanks to four independent busbars, the entire grid is divisible, which allows the complete electrical system of the ship to be divided into four areas, which can be run together or inde- pendently. ABB is another name which has made significant waves in the cruise market, with its innovative Azipod propulsion offering. The company recently nabbed a $100 million propulsion package contracts for cruise liners being built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards and Meyer Werft. "ABB has been awarded contracts to supply innovative electric propul- sion systems for three new luxury cruise vessels, with provisional orders on a further three ships. The total value of all the orders is about $100 million," the company said. The cruise liners are being built for Genera/Thermodynamics Corporation CYLINDER POWER EQUALIZER BMEP BALANCER MODEL 300-A * Saves fuel * Makes exact fuel adjustment * Scans entire engine cycle, not just peak pressure. * Assures equal power delivery from all cylinders.
