Finnish Maritime Report Kvaerner Masa-Yards Delivers Despite a year of turmoil spurred by its parent company's withdrawal from ship- building, Kvaerner Masa-Yard's Helsin- ki shipyard continued to build on its world renowned tradition of delivering some of the finest cruise liners ever built. In mid-November, Costa Atlanti- ca, newbuilding 498, was launched. The 84.000-gt cruise ship is scheduled for Call for a free catalog or to order our demonstration video. Jack Fisher, President I "Fishers side scans will give you a highly detailed picture of any object on the lake, river, or ocean bottom. Whether you need a low frequency' side scan to cover large areas quickly, a high frequency side scan to find those small soft targets, or a dual frequency side scan, Fishers can provide the system you need. Each of their side scan sonars come with a 17" wide high resolution printer to give you a detailed picture unmatched by other low cost side scan systems." jJW FISHERS Proton 3 DHC-1 Pulse 12 Sea Li on ROV TOV-1 Torted f 1 wti/l f V \ Marine 0 ^Bi Magnetometer $8,995 6 Diver-held • Camera 1 $3,795 /^Mp ' " Boat-towed Metal Detector $6,495 t^Sit ' IkJM&rROVs - - J^Sr from r r $19,995 Video/* ^4,295 1953 County St. £ Taunton.

The 2,680-passenger ship provides the latest in amenities to ensure the cruise boom continues, including that fact that 80 percent of all staterooms are outside, while 70 percent of all state- rooms boast a balcony. The ship features a diesel-electric machinery arrangement, powered by six Wartsila NSD 9L46D diesel engines, which produced a cumulative 62,370 kW. The propulsion unit consists of two azimuthing electric Azipod propulsion units, with a power of 17.6 MW each, driving the ship to a service speed of 22 knots. In addition, the ship has three l.9l MW tunnel thrusters in the bow. The Turku yard - which last October delivered Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship - subsequently floated out the second ship in the mammoth new series. Explorer of the Seas, just two weeks later. Explorer, which is due for delivery in the autumn of 2000, will be followed by the third ship in the series, Adventurer of the Seas, in the spring of 2002. Powered by six Wartsila NSD 12V46C engines and propelled by three 14MW Azipod propulsion units, the 3,840 passenger, 1,020-ft. (3H.1 m) ship travels at a service speed of 22 knots.

PPTH-Nor- den Oy and UWIRA Oy signed a letter of intent to establish the feasibility of transferring the manufacture of welded components and pipework for Wartsila NSD engines to PPTH-Norden and UWIRA. The transfer would apply to Wartsila NSD Finland's welded compo- nents and pipe factory close to Vaasa. The factory, which has 70 employees, supplies components for engines manu- factured in Finland. PPTH-Norden's expertise lies in welded plat structures, and is a leading steel constructor in Nordic countries. UWIRA concentrates on piping. Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
