<BODY> <div> PROPULSION UPDATE Deutz MWM Offers Diesel Engines For Propulsion, Power Generation Aboard Naval Vessels —Free Literature Available— Throughout its almost 125-year company history, Deutz MWM has powered a number of naval vessels. Additionally, KHD has also sup- plied engines for army and air forces. Some of the company's most recent success is built around two engine series—TBD 234 and TBD 604B. The compact TBD 234 diesel en- gine series, which has an exceptional low weight to power ratio of 4.4 pounds/bhp, is available in six-, eight-, 12- and 16-cylinder "V" con- figurations, rated at up to 1,224 hp at 2,300 rpm. Each of a series of sev- en Spanish Customs Service patrol craft were fitted with a pair of TBD 234 V-12 diesel engines. Rated at 1,000 hp each, the engines directly drive Riva Calzoni waterjets to pro- pel the 47-foot craft at speeds of about 54 knots. The engines' ex- tremely low fuel consumption allows the vessels to operate for long peri- ods of time and in a greater sea radius. The design of the engines also allows for simple servicing.

Deutz MWM also has begun the delivery of 24 self-contained gener- ating sets of 850 kw each to the Canadian Navy for their new patrol frigates. Deutz MWM sold 32 sets of Both of these Deutz MWM en- gine series feature low fuel con- sumption—with ratios as low as .315 pounds/bhphr. This low fuel con- sumption allows for a substantial increase in a vessel's range while reducing its operating costs. Deutz MWM diesels have relatively high compression ratios for excellent low-load performance and are equipped with special low-load fea- tures to reduce smoke and other emissions. Deutz MWM also offers the popu- lar 628 Series engine, which has been selected to power several Ca- nadian Coast Guard vessels and similar ships. The power range of these diesels covers up to 4,460 hp at 1,000 rpm. Larger engines rated at 9,860 hp at 600 rpm are available. Deutz MWM engines have been used aboard several types of vessels, ranging from catamarans to frigates, patrol boats to high-performance passenger vessels. For free literature detailing the full line of marine diesel engines for main propulsion and power genera- tion offered by Deutz MWM, Circle 61 on Reader Service Card Stolt-Nielsen Buys Three Parcel Tankers Stolt-Nielsen will purchase three 39,000-dwt parcel tankers under a recently reached agreement with Slobodna Plovidba, one of Yugo- slavia's largest shipowners. The tankers, the M/Ts Maasus- kok, Maasgusar and Exporter, will be bareboat chartered back to Slo- bodna Plovidba, who will time-char - ter them to Stolt Tankers Inc. for operation in its worldwide parcel tanker services upon expiration of their present time-charters. The M/T Exporter is already on time- charter to Stolt Tankers, while the remaining two ships are time-char- tered to Nedlloyd until the end of the year. Slobodna Plovidba will subcontract the ship management functions to Stolt-Nielsen for an ini- tial three-year period. Besides the purchase, the agree- ment also includes cooperation in the parcel tanker trade to and from Adriatic Sea ports as well as the training and development of Seafar- ers employed by Slobodna Plovid- ba. an almost identical configuration to the German Navy for use aboard their F-122 Bremen Class frigates. The sets are installed with a double- elastic mounting in soundproof con- tainers. The modules are arranged to allow easy transfer from the ship to base for overhaul. Deutz MWM designed the units to be shock-resis- tant, allowing the generator sets to continue to operate in extremely severe conditions. The incorporated TBD 602 V-16 K engines are available in a second development stage as the 604B Se- ries diesel engine. The engines cover a power range of up to 2,624 hp at 1,800 rpm for main propulsion. The engine features easy service accessi- bility to all running parts, even to the crankshaft and conrod assembly through the crankcase ports.
