Historic Side-wheeler to Operate on Yukon River Elliott Bay Design Group of Seattle recently completed sta- bility tests and calculations for the Klondike Spirit, an all- steel side-wheeler recently built on the Yukon River in Alaska. The vessel, which can carry up to 120 passengers, will be used to take tourists on Where You Go To School DOES Matter! daytrips through the scenic Yukon canyons downriver of Dawson (Yukon, Canada) when it begins operation in June 2005. Built in Eagle City, Alaska, by Nick Turner and Charlie House, the vessel offers three passenger decks, a food service galley and two staterooms for crews. The Klondike Spirit is the first side-wheeler to be built on the Yukon in decades. Historically, side-wheelers were used to navigate rivers because their configuration made them extremely maneuverable. However, the location of the paddles along both sides of the boats made them vulnerable to damage, and their popularity faded. The Klondike Spirit brings back a piece of nostalgia that com- plements Dawson's "Gold Rush" tourist theme. The side-wheeler is 88 ft. long with an 18 ft. beam and a 4 ft. hull depth. Maximum draft is 30 in. The hull was fabricated by Eagle Boat Company and the Northern Lights 20 kW generator was furnished by Alaska Diesel Electric. The main engine is a 400 hp Cat 3406 that drives Denison hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic motors power each side wheel through a separate Brevini gearbox and 3:1 chain reduction drive. The paddle wheel speed is 40 rpm. Elliott Bay Design Group's contributions included structural calculations and scantling determinations for U.S. Coast Guard approval. The firm also per- formed tonnage analysis, designed the tonnage plan, and performed the admea- surement survey on behalf of Germanischer Lloyd. Currents in the Yukon River and the absence of a dock made performing stability tests a challenge. Typically, such tests are executed in protected water with the vessel tethered to a dock with no outside forces affecting the boat. Because that wasn't an option, Elliott Bay Design Group engineers tied the Klondike Spirit to trees on the river's shore, and Maritime Professional Training then floated the boat onto an eddy. Currents flowing down one side of the boat 1915 South Andrews Avenue • Ft.

Although steam turbine plant can utilize boil-off gas very easily, efficiency losses in the boilers, high- speed reduction gear, shafting, and the steam turbine itself bring overall effi- ciency of the installation to a level of approximately 30 percent at full load. A substantial amount of heavy fuel oil is needed to complement the available boil-off gas in laden condition, and more so when the ship is in a ballast state. By comparison, the latest low-speed diesel machinery offers thermal efficiency fac- tors up to around 50-percent, resulting in lower energy consumption and operat- ing costs.

LNG: Fleet Could Expand 80% by 2010 According to R.S. Platou Shipbrokers of Norway, some 60 new LNG carriers will have been ordered during this year and, by the end of November, the orderbook consisted of 104 vessels equivalent to about 80 percent of the existing fleet. "By taking some scrap- ping into account, the world LNG fleet is therefore set to grow by 9 percent annually in the period to 2010," the broker estimates. However, still more LNG carriers are likely to be ordered in the months ahead, and the pace of fleet expansion could become even faster, perhaps hitting 12 percent by the end of 2010. Platou believes that LNG builders could be turning out as many as 40 new ships per year by 2010 and questions whether the number of new projects will be sufficient to absorb that scale of extra ton- ALSTOM Power Conversion offers innovative propulsion solutions for current and future LNG carriers ALSTOM, a with either membrane or spherical tanks, from conventional diesel electric propulsion already used in nage.

Then you realize that they handle just like the ships they are duplicating. To quote Captain Jim Nolan, retired San Francisco Bar pilot " I know these ships from real-life experience. These models are incredibly realistic". As important as the models and the facilities is the team of instructors assembled by Captain Peg Brandon, the Director of Commercial Maritime Training. The most senior of the facilitators are Captain Jim Nolan, retired pilot and "spark-plug" of the original program and Captain Richard "Red" Shannon, who, among his other accomplishments, is a master of both power driven and sailing vessels of any gross tons and former master of the sailing passenger ship Sea Cloud. Complementing these two are Captain Kerry Fitzpatrick, retired containership master, Captain Ron Mason, retired Boston docking-master, Captain Craig Dalton, retired tanker captain, and Captain Pat Crane, who is a current ITB master. The Circle 206 on Reader Service Card shared background and experience of these instructors guarantees a rewarding experience for course partici- pants. Among the many skills taught as part of the syl- labus are some that are nearly forgotten, such as the use of an anchor in a narrow channel, the use of the anchor while docking, and Mediterranean mooring with both anchors. In years past the anchor was referred to as the "poor man's tug." It is still used this way in some parts of the world where, due to economic or mechanical constraints, tugs are not available. Because tugs are readily available most places however, this skill is being lost. The captain or pilot who must proceed with- out a tug for one reason or another may not be readily familiar with this anchoring technique. It is a difficult skill to learn on your own, on the job, but easy to address with the manned models. Circle 41 on Reader Service Card

TECHNOLOGY GLOBIC technology ensures the OPTIMUM RELEASE OF POWERFUL ANTIFOULING AGENT in all operating conditions. The use of microfibres in GLOBIC antifouling products results in maximum strength and IMPACT RESISTANCE. The innovative combination of microfibres and the special binder provides a perfect balance between mechanical properties and polishing perform- ance. ENVIRONMENT GLOBIC antifouling products are fully compliant with the latest environmental standards, including new regulations that ban TBT-based products from 1. January 2003. GLOBIC products feature a VOC content of less than 400g/litre, along with very high volume solids. This significantly REDUCES SOLVENT EMISSIONS into the environment.
ONLINE PROFITABILITY DOCUMENTATION: The high volume solids in GLOBIC products means less WWW.HEMPEL.COM paint consumption. GLOBIC paint can be applied in a relatively high dry film thickness, thus minimising the number of coats needed. The excellent polishing properties result in 1-3% LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION, which is an added bonus.

For selfsmoothing and selfpolishing performance from a TBT-free antifouling
The world’s best solutions
Ready to convert to a TBT-free antifouling? Jotun has solutions that don’t soak up your money. Most other TBT-free antifoulings are selfpolishing-only. SeaQuantum is selfsmoothing and selfpolishing. Some of the backbone of these other selfpolishing-only paints remains after the soluble components are absorbed by seawater. This increases the roughness of the hull. Over time, the sponge-like build-up affects the antifouling process – soaking up your money in extra fuel costs. Whichever selfsmoothing, selfpolishing SeaQuantum solution you choose, we guarantee it will reduce the roughness of your vessel’s hull and, hence, your fuel costs. SeaQuantum saves you money
