Alpha package for new fruit-juice tanker

摘要

The Frederikshavn factory of MAN B&W Alpha Diesel has recently been working on another of its interesting propulsion packages, this time for a new fruit-juice tanker under construction at Kleven Flora in Norway - a yard which has built this type of specialised vessel previously. The new ship, for the Swiss operator, Atlantship SA, will be powered by a MAN B&W 7S60MC-C two-stroke engine; it will drive an Alpha VBS1800 CP propeller and will be equipped with Alpha controls. Off the forward end, an alternator will be driven through a flexible coupling and gearbox.
