Climax machining solutions can improve your numbers, too.

Until Climax came onboard, it took 240 hours for a shipyard to re-machine just one submarine missile tube. That’s nearly 3 man- years for a sub’s usual array of 24 tubes. In response, Climax came up with an innovative custom boring tool based on its patented technologies. Setup and monitoring are radically easier, and Climax provided on-site training. Now each tube takes a single shift five days, start to finish. When it comes to improving their maintenance and repair, shipyards rely on Climax. The solution may range from a clever new mount for a standard Climax tool to an all-new custom machine. It may involve on-the-job consultation or a major training program like one we recently Bringing the solution to you. held for ten of China’s largest shipyards. Today Climax is uniquely equipped to support you everywhere that machining and machine tools affect your bottom line.

Quantum System electronics are driven by a CM 850 controller. Integrated information systems and panels help maximize engine efficiency and performance while providing diagnostic and prognostic data. A single connection in the customer interface box simplifies the link between the engine electronics and vessel systems. A combination of features onboard the engine is designed to enhance reliability and durability as well as increase engine life. A single piece cast iron piston, hardened cylinder liners, and premium ceramic sur- faced rings increase the life of the power cylinder. The elimination of injector load on the camshaft and over- head rocker levers reduces wear on these major components. Additionally, a robust marinization features a water cooled triple-wall exhaust manifold and turbocharger with a titanium compressor to ensure the engine performs in demanding marine environments. The exhaust system design provides the added benefit of improved fuel economy while eliminating potential exhaust leaks. Minimal changes to the footprint, mounts, ratings and optional equipment from the current K and KV engines aim to ensure less complexity for new installations and repowers. The engine sub-system enhancements require no added service. Additionally, Cummins Marine offers many alternatives to help reduce or eliminate maintenance and downtime; for example, the two-stage Fleetguard fuel filtration is designed to utilize larger elements for longer filter life; the Cummins Centinel Oil Management System is designed to increase oil change intervals by up to 4000 hours; and the Eliminator filter, which replaces disposable lube filters, has been scaled in size for the new QSK19 engine. Working together or individually, the Centinel and Elminator are designed to reduce the possibilities of oil contamination during oil-related service events; help- ing to balance the needs of the environment with the expectations of marine operators.

There is now a 22 sec- now a 13 second difference between Julian calendar and the Gregorian calen- ic clocks to synchronize their highly ond difference between the LORAN-C GPS clocks and UTC. At the speed dar had been resolved some 200 years before. As mechanical clocks came into widespread use at about the same period, people started scheduling their days by reference to the clock, rather than the sun - hence the term "o'clock" when telling time. Time zones were officially established by international treaty in the 1880s. In the United States, time zone boundaries are designated by the Secretary of Transportation. The dates for daylight savings time are controlled by Congress (daylight seems to be the only thing these legislators can save). Timekeeping in general, as with so many other things, revolved around the sun. That changed with the arrival of the Atomic Age. Scientists discovered that certain atoms vibrated with amazing consisten- cy. Engineers started developing highly accurate clocks based not on a pendu- lum, but on these vibrating atoms. They soon discovered that there was a difference between these atomic clocks and the rotation of the Earth on its axis. It seems that, for a variety of reasons that are not germane to this article, the rotation of Earth is slowing down, although not consistently. It takes slightly longer today for the Earth to rotate 360 degrees on its axis (a full solar day) than it took on the same day last year. The difference is so slight that I, for one, did not notice. Mechanical clocks do not detect this slowing either. But atomic clocks do register the difference. In 1967, before the implications of the slow lengthening of the solar day were fully appreciated, the General Conference on Weights and Measures decided, in the interest of scientific accuracy, to change the definition of the second from "1/86,400 of a mean solar day" to "the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom." Soon, it was apparent that the atomic clocks and the Earth were getting out of synchronization. The process of adding leap seconds (generally at the end of various years) commenced in 1972. To date, 22 leap seconds have been added in an attempt to keep the atomic clocks and the Earth in sync. Why does, or should, the mariner care? Because life is no longer simple.

Great Ships of 2005

Maritime Reporter & Engineering News’ annual presentation of “Great Ships” has again set a new benchmark, with 25 ships receiving the honor as a result of the rigorous process to identify and present ship’s details. Nearly 40 percent (9 of 25) of the award winners this year are in the Container Vessel category, as technological innovation has mushroomed in this niche with the race to build the largest, fastest and most efficient containership. While size does matter in the case of MSC Pamela, currently the world’s largest capacity containership, able to carry an incredible 9,200 TEU, sporting the world’s largest marine diesel, an MAN B&W 12K98MC-C unit which generates 93,120 bhp, the small also prosper, as evidenced by the Benchijigua Express • RoPax • Austal inclusion of the 812 TEU Geeststroom built by Damen. RoPax Ferry A new milestone in both high-speed ferry operations and in Australian lightweight shipbuilding technology Tugs: The Guiding Force. was marked by the 2005 service debut of the 127-m trimaran Benchijigua Express. Demonstrating designer and builder Austal Ships' ability to marry technical innovation with production competitiveness and close attention to the practical requirements of operators, the vessel signified an advance in size, payload and power in the company's Auto Express ro-pax offering. The new multihull ferry confers a capability to maintain speeds of 40-knots with a capacity for 1,350 passengers and 341 cars, or 400 freight lane-meters plus 123 cars. The project was shaped by the vital competitive importance to contractual owner Lineas Fred Olsen of ensuring all-weather scheduling dependability on high- speed operations in the waters around the Canary Islands, prone to rough sea conditions, while meeting passengers' growing expectations as to ride quality. This led to the adoption of a hull configuration which departs from the norm, resulting in what is claimed to be the world's largest trimaran. Using a trimaran hull shape, effectively a stabilized monohull, has enabled the designers to separate the regulatory stability requirements from the seakeeping, comfort and desired motion requirements. The shipowner also required increased engine power without embracing gas turbine technology and its perceived higher operating costs. Benchijigua Express has been allocated to the traffic from Los Cristianos, on Tenerife, to the islands of Gomera and La Palma. It was anticipated that the superior seakeeping performance of the trimaran would improve passenger comfort by up to 40 percent compared to Fred Olsen's existing fast ferries, and that the The story of the development of the tugboat industry in one of the vessel would yield higher levels of operability in “busiest seaports in the world is a remarkable one, and Matteson delivers adverse weather conditions.

Last in the container vessel class, but certainly not least, is Geeststroom. Geest North Sea Line has taken a significant step forward in its plans to expand its intermodal door-to- door capacity with the introduction into service of Geeststroom, the first of two 812 TEU containerships that were ordered in 2003 from the Damen Shipyards Group by the German shipowner Jorg Kopping. More than twice the size of the largest ship in the Geest fleet, it is employed on Geest's routes between Rotterdam and Tilbury and Rotterdam and Hull. Geeststroom and her sister, Geestdijk, due for delivery in April 2005, have been built specifically for long-term charter to the Dutch shortsea and intermodal specialist. Designed to meet Geest's particular requirement for a vessel able to carry a full load of 45 ft. pallet-wide containers or a mix of 45 footers plus heavy 20 ft. tanks and 30 ft. bulk containers, the two ships were constructed by Damen Shipyards Galatz in Romania. Geest is committed to the expansion of European shortsea shipping and, in particular, to greater use of intermodal options including rail and inland waterway transport in Europe. However, to be competitive with 13.6m road trailers, the company had to replace its entire container fleet with 45 ft. palletwide containers. Until this vessel was delivered, no-one had built a containership specifically designed around the 45ft box and so any vessel we have chartered has always been a compromise. Geeststroom has changed that. The owner, Mr. Kopping, said "Geest is not only interested in 45ft containers. Many of its quay-to-quay customers are NVOs with shippers' owned equipment operating tanks and dry bulk units. Consequently, Geest also required a ship with a good deadweight able to accommodate heavy 20 ft. and 30 ft. containers."
