Pictured above nearing compietion is
Radisson D i a m o n d , the world's first large
SWATH cruise liner. As work on the
18,000gt vessel is ahead of scheduie at
Rauma Yards' Rauma worl<s in Finland,
completion should be prior to the
con-tractual delivery date of 30 April 1992.
IVlodel tank tests were carried out at
IVIARIN in The Netherlands and the vessel
is classified with Det norske Veritas.
Fur-ther details can be found in Tony
New-man's annual cruise liner report on page
E6.
Solidarnosc marks the return ofthe
Cop-enhagen yard of Burmeister & Wain to
the Panamax bulk carrier market, after a
period spent concentrating on the
con-struction of products tankers. This BCT70
bulk carrier departs from previous
prac-tice by dispensing with the distinctive
bulbous bow, in favour of a newforebody
hull form with a straight stem.
S o l i d a r n o s c is the first vessel to receive
Det norske Veritas' HC/EA notation which
allows heavy cargoes to be carried at full
draught, with specified combinations of
empty holds, thus allowing greater
flexi-bility of loading. Details of other new
de-signs from Denmark can be found in our
special feature which begins on page E33.

The magnificent grand atrium on Ecstasy,
the second of Carnival Cruise Lines'
70,000gt diesel-electric liners ordered
from Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Finland. It
rises up through six decks and is
sur-mounted by a large giass dome. Carnival
has recently ordered a fourth ship in this
class, which will boost the fortunes of
Fin-land's consolidated shipbuilding industry
— see our feature on page E75.
This unfamiliar piece of equipment is
like-ly to be seen on all future generations of
self-unloading bulk carriers. It is a special
bulkhead door (illustrated here in its open
position) designed by the Swedish
Consilium group to seal travelling
con-veyor belts. Further information on this
and other advances in the cranes,
cargohandling and access gear sector can
be found in our feature which begins on
page E95.

An example of surface objects (the
tanktop and main transverse bulkheads
of a bulk carrier) generated by one of the
design packages from the Finnish
com-pany Napa Oy. A full report on this and
other leading CAD/CAM consultants'
sys-tems appears in our special feature which
begins on page Et94.
A total of 31 integrated bridge systems
of the SNA-90 Total Navigator 3 type
have been sold to date by the Japan
Radio Co Ltd, together with 45 sets ofthe
more complex SNA-91 model, which
fea-tures machinery and hull-condition
dis-plays. The concept of integrated bridge
control systems seems firmly set to stay
with the industry, as our feature on page
E206 explains.

year for Deutsche Seereederei, of
Rostock, is an example of Bremer
Vulkan's BV2700 Panamax-breadth
cellular container design. The 45,000dwt
ship can carry 2,674TEU (including 100
reefer boxes) or 2,400 TEU at 14 tonnes
homogeneous load. Propulsion is by a
BV-Sulzer 6RTA72 engine of 16,440kW for
a speed of 19 knots. A special feature on
German shipbuilding begins on page
E239.
Truckline Ferries' new passenger/vehicle
ferry, the 20,000gt Barfleur, entered
ser-vice last month. She was built by
Kvaerner IVIasa-Yards at Helsinki and will
be followed this month by a second
vessel of a different design from the same
builder's Turku yard; this vessel will be
operated by Truckline's parent Brittany
Ferries. An article on the Barfleur appears
on page E260.

In advance of the formal announcement
(anticipated in June) of the European E3
supertanker design, one of the German
participants in the consortium,
Howaldts-werke-Deutsche Werft, has already been
working on a 280,000dwt double-hull
concept (illustrated here). Other aspects of
tanker designs for the future are discussed
in our feature which begins on page E314.
Brittany Ferries has taken delivery of its
second new ship in two months from
Kvaerner Masa-Yards. The 27,000gt
Normandie, built at the Turku New Yard, is
designed for overnight cruise-ferry voyages,
initially from Portsmouth to Caen. Seen
here is the l\/lacGregor-Navire lift serving
the lower hold. A description of this vessel
appears as part of our Scandinavian feature,
beginning on page E296.

Chiquita Frances is the first of five
400.000ffi refrigerated cargo ships
originally ordered by Gustaf Eril<son from
Kvaerner Kleven, but subsequently
transferred to Chiquita Brands. The
underwater hull has been optimised for
speeds up to 22 Icnots. The remaining four
ships in the series have been modified using
new hull lines to give a greater cargo
capacity. See our special feature on reefer
ships and reefer technology which begins
on page E441.
Dealing with the refuse problem: entrance
to one of two chutes on the
environmental-friendly ferry A u r o r a af
Helsingborg, where special technical efforts
have been made to deal with both stores
provisioning and waste disposal in an
efficient manner. Our special feature on
these waste destruction and galley services
begins on page E427.
