form, in two separate enginerooms, the engines (the
first marine GO versions built by Wartsila) can oper-
ate on natural gas (primed with 3% liquid pilot fuel)
or crude oil direct from the well, or normal heavy and
diesel oils.
Also supplied in the package by Wartsila is the
complete installation for gaseous fuel compression,
and automatic and smooth switch-over from one fuel
to another can be achieved without engine shutdown.
Station keeping uses the catenary mooring lines and
one forward/two aft 2830kW thrusters, computer-
controlled to ONV POSMOOR ATA requirements.

Digital Governor Series

Compact Actuator (EAR-l00)
In 1987, NABCa delivered its first digital type electronic governor (MG-800
series) for the B&W 5S80MCE engine.
Since then its high reliability has been proven through the delivery more
than 380 units for large, low speed diesel
engines. Taking advantage of this experience, we developed a compact actuator
(EAR-100) suited to medium and
compact size low speed diesel engines, the first delivery of which was made
for the Mitsubishi UEC50LSII in April,
1996. For B&W engines, we shipped a unit for the 6S42MC which has been
operating with favourable results.
These compact actuators are targeted at B&W Engines L/S42MC and smaller, the
Mitsubishi UE Engines
UEC60LS(lI) and smaller and Sulzer Engines, RTA48T, where they have
facilitated adjustment and maintenance,
and have permitted stable running at an
extremely low speed range. Today, these
