J.S.-Built Cruise Ship Project Receives $32 Million Commitment Sea Ventures, Inc., a cruise industry venture devel- ipment company, has announced their intention to mild three 41,800-grt luxury cruise ships in the Jnited Sates and operate under an American flag. The project, named SeaAmerica Cruise Lines, has jrogressed with two architectural concept studies, ship specifications development, and engineering plan development. Kvaerner Masa Marine of Annapolis, Md. success- fully developed the selected conceptual engineering studies. Northeast Capital, Inc. has arranged and delivered to Sea Ventures, Inc. commitment letters totaling $32 million to be used for the development and construc- tion of the SeaAmerica project. Chairman of Sea Ventures and president of the SeaAmerica project, David W. Turner, says the project is "extremely important to American shipping and tourism as it represents an easy-to-build vessel, with export possi- bilities, for an American yard." Shipowners Standardize Bilge Water Systems Marinfloc bilge water systems by Marin Miljoteknik AB have been chosen by Royal Caribbean International as the standard for the fleet, including the Eagle class currently under production at Kvaerner Masa Yards. Celebrity Cruises has also equipped its ves- sels with the Marinfloc system. The bilge water system, with quality of discharged water at less than three ppm, has been installed on Swedish shipowner ACL's five RoRo vessels.
