The PetroLiminator 630 systems will replace the existing conventional oily water separator systems on the 1,000-ft. (304.8 m) cargo vessels MV Mesabi Miner and MV Paul R. Tregurtha. The installations will be completed during the winter layup period. The new order from Interlake follows on the successful sea trials of the PetroLiminator system on another Interlake ship, MV James R. Barker, earlier this year. The PetroLiminator 630 is a new, patented maritime oily water separator that uses bioremediation to treat bilge water so that it meets international clean-water standards for discharge into environmentally sensitive waterways. It contains safe, non-pathogenic, hydro- carbon-ingesting bacteria that converts oils, grease, detergents and other hydro- carbons into harmless end products. Circle 14 on Reader Service Card Wartsila Powers Revolutionary Tankers Wartsila Corp. has been granted an order to supply diesel engines to power a pair of 106,000-dwt Aframax ice- breaking tankers of the new double-act- ing concept. The tanker pair, which was contracted by the Finnish energy group Fortum Oil & Gas, will be built by Sum- itomo Heavy Industries in Japan for a mid-2002 delivery. Each vessel will be powered by a 22.9 MW diesel-electric plant supplying all propulsion and ancillary power require- ments. Each plant boasts two Wartsila 9L38B diesel engines each of 6,320 kW output at 600 rpm; two Wartsila 6L38B diesel engines generating 4,220 kW each; and one Wartsila 6L26 diesel engine providing 1.860 kW at 900 rpm. Electric propulsion is provided by a sin- gle 16 MW podded drive. The icebreakers will operate between the North Sea and refineries in the northern Baltic ports of Porvoo and Naantali, and are being built to Ice Super Class - following a Double Acting Tanker (DAT) concept — developed by the Arctic Technology Center of Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Helsinki.
