The new Nera F33 is based on the Inmarsat Fleet F33 service concept, providing the light marine market with improved data communications from equipment suitable for the demands of today's commercial and leisure fleet. The launch of the service is due in early 2003. For vessels operating on deep-sea global routes, the new Nera F77, based on Inmarsat Fleet 77 services would be the preferred installation.

VideoRay announced that the Cygnus Instruments Mini ROV Thickness Gauge has been specially designed for mounting on the 8-lb. VideoRay Pro ROV. Proven inside the USS Arizona battleship, the gauge is less expensive than the cost of diving excursions to measure thickness underwater and is especially useful for potable water tank inspections. The gauge uses a technique known as Multiple Echo, which allows metal thickness measurements to be taken without first removing coatings. The unit is pressure tested to 500 meters. Dedicated software displays the time, date and thickness readings on the surface, and all readings can be stored. Jon Sharland, Sales and Marketing Manager of Cygnus Instruments, com- mented, "The gauge is based on the larger ROV mountable unit which has already been proven many times in the harsh conditions of the underwater and offshore industries worldwide.

Sea State Helps Maximize Comfort To maximize passenger comfort during transit to areas where whale watching will occur on Blount Barker s new aluminum hulled vessel, a motion control system designed by Australia's Seastate is installed. Due to the vessels operating profile, in which a large amount of time is spent at 25 knots or less, active trim tabs were incorporated into the system. To maximize the motion control capability T-foils have also been utilized. Both the trim tabs and t foils assist in the control of the pitch- Environmental Challenge ing and rolling motions.

A motion sensor, featuring two angular rate gyros contained in a rugged, environmentally sealed canister, is located in the bridge. The motion sensor output is sent to the central control unit, which uses a sophisticated high-speed monitoring, and control algorithm to constantly monitor the motion sensor output and calculate the required control surface command.

Flaps / Trim tabs A trim tab is mounted on each hull and is designed to control motion in both pitch and roll. Flaps or trim tabs as they are often referred to, are a flat plate lifting surface hinged at or slightly forward of the transom. The flap forms an extension of the hull lines aft. By varying the angle of actuation of the flap, the flow exit angle at the transom is modified to produce lift. Flaps are effective at high and low speeds. Flaps are typically used in low or moderate speed applications where interceptor performance is limited.

38 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News QUITE POSSIBLY THE SMOOTHEST TRANSITION OF POWER IN NAVAL HISTORY.

The proven gas turbine, integrated-electric-drive propulsion system.

With over 100,000 hours at sea (and cruising), GE-gas turbine, integrated-electric-drive systems are already a huge success on commercial applications, in addition to their outstanding service in foreign navies. Delivering the perfect balance of power for both propulsion and ship services, the compact and efficient gas turbine design lets three or four engines do the work of six, saving both space and capital. To see how smooth a transition to integrated-electric drive systems can be, call 513-552-2347 or go to www.geae.com.

January, 2003 43 Propulsion Updates

Cummins Introduces the QSK60 Emission-Reduction Test a Success Cummins literally unveiled its QSK60 powerplant to the marine market at the Workboat Show in New Orleans, ushering in a new. more powerful age for the surging diesel engine manufacturer. "This engine will take Cummins into new markets," said Geoff Conrad, general manager, Cummins Marine. "But it is meant for the Workboat market ... it's meant to last a very long time." The new engine (new for the marine market, that is) has a power range of 2.000 to 2,300 hp (1.492 to 1.716 kW for New emission reduction technology propulsion and 1,500 to 1.825 kW for auxiliary applications, was recently proven in a joint test with Holland America and RINA.
