At first the firm concentrated on ship containerization and bulk transportation, but it soon became noted for naval engi- neering and ship design. The company's current emphasis on defense contracts came later. JJMA is the lead naval architect of the winning design for the U.S. Navy's DDX pro- gram. Though the firm was purchased in 1998 and formed an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Trust, John J. McMullen's influence and prosperity remained. Dr. McMullen has made numerous innovations in ship design and construc- tion, including systems installed in hun- dreds of merchant, passenger and naval ships. McMullen attended the United States Naval Academy and graduated in 1940 with a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering before serving aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and the USS Stack (DD-406) during World War II. After the Korean War and 14 years of Circle 254 on Reader Service Card service, he left the Navy and founded John J. McMullen Associates. McMullen held a master of science degree in naval architecture and marine engineering from MIT, and a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. He began building his fortune through McMullen Associates and, eventually, the steamship shipping agency Norton Lilly International. On top of his shipping accomplish- ments, he became widely known with his involvement in pro sports. McMullen is survived by his wife of 50 years, Jacqueline; son, Peter, and his wife, Cheryl; daughter Catherine; son John Jr.; and five grandchildren.

INNOVATION • ENGINEERING • TOOLS • TRAINING
Climax machining solutions can improve your numbers, too.
Until Climax came on- board, 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.

APM Terminals knows ports. APM Terminals chose Portsmouth, Virginia.
When APM Terminals, the world’s most successful container terminal operators, decides to build a $450 million terminal in Portsmouth, that says a lot. What makes Portsmouth so attractive to APM Terminals? The same things that could make it the ideal location for your company’s headquarters. Portsmouth is strategically located midway along the Atlantic coast at the Zero Mile Marker on the Intracoastal Waterway. Portsmouth is also part of Hampton Roads, the world’s largest natural harbor and one of the busiest ports in America. The city’s business-friendly environment includes Empowerment, Enterprise and HUB zones, work- force development programs and much more. With a new business park and retail and residential developments underway, now is the time to join leading companies like APM Terminals in the city of Portsmouth.

On December 8, 2004, Christensen filed a motion asking the Court to dissolve the preliminary injunction and dismiss the case under a "forum selection clause" in the yacht contract opting for Washington State Court to resolve certain disputes. Ms. Woods is not a party to the yacht contract and is not bound by the "forum selection clause." On September 23, 2005, after extensive briefing on the issues, Judge Zloch denied Christensen's request and held that "the result of enforcement of the forum selection clause would be parallel proceedings in different forums on the same set of facts and legal issues…The Court finds that enforce- ment…would lead to…unreasonable and, arguably, unjust results…" In other words, enforcement of the clause would result in the unreasonable sit- uation of requiring Woods to sue in Washington while his wife's case would proceed in Florida. The Woods' attorney, J. Douglas Baldridge of Washington, D.C.-based Venable LLP, said "We firmly believe that the evidence will show Christensen violated and exploited the Woods' valuable rights for the company's own commercial gain. We are pleased with today's ruling and look forward to presenting the merits of this case in Florida where the Woods reside." The The steel hull of the 253-ft.

Marine Design SWEEP: A New Hull Concept
A pending ship hull concept dubbed SWEEP (for Ship with Wave Energy Engulfing Propulsors) - touted as greatly reducing the wave drag of high speed dis- placement hulls - has been proposed by SeaSpeed SWEEP, Inc. of Miami. The following is a presentation of the design and the engineering logic behind the creation, according to Don Burg of SeaSpeed SWEEP, Inc. Wave drag increases dramatically as ships operate beyond hull speed. As such, the operating speeds of most displacement hulls remains low. Wave drag makes up 70 percent of total drag at 45 knots on a 400 ft. (122 m) length waterline (LWL) ship. Further, wave drag has increased 25 times at 45 knots over its value at 15 knots for that 122 m ship. The bulbous bow is employed to reduce wave drag and is used on most of today's ships where it reduces total drag by 10-15 percent at high speeds. Friction reducing air layers have also been employed; however, friction drag makes up less than 20 percent of total drag of our example 122 m ship at 45 knots. Air layers, while effective at low speeds where friction drag pre- dominates, only help marginally at high speeds. What the patent pending SWEEP technology does is takes this a step further by accelerating the wave mak- merged bow.

LNG Waterways Suitability Assessment: A Benchmark for All
Milne Waryas
By Gordon Milne, Head of Risk Assessment Services, Lloyd's Register EMEA, and Ed Waryas, Vice President Marine Business, Lloyd's Register North America, Inc.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) has been successfully transported and used for more than 45 years and is poised to play a significant role in the world's future Commissioned by Shell Gas & Power to supply its growing number of LNG terminals. energy needs. The industry maintains an exemplary safety record, but concerns are continually posed about the safety of LNG. Opponents claim the industry's attitude focuses on its own needs rather than the safety of the general public, while proponents cite the results of numerous studies commissioned by private organizations, carried out by respected companies including Lloyd's Register, Sandia Laboratories and Quest, as well as government bodies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The primary objective of these studies was to demonstrate that the risks associated with an LNG incident are minimal and above all, con-

There has clearly been a need to turn these analyses into a single best practice - a common approach to which the industry could point when challenged. This best practice was established on June 14, 2005, when the US Coast Guard (USCG) released its Navigation and Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 05- 05, providing "Guidance on Assessing the Suitability of a Waterway for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Marine Traffic." The NVIC is intended to pro- vide guidance on the marine traffic safe- ty and security information that must be submitted by those planning to build and operate a shore-side terminal. This information will then be used by USCG in its role of advising FERC on the ade- quacy of an applicant's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and also to pro- vide USCG with guidance when issuing a Letter of Recommendation.

Since providing one of the key reports that helped the LNG ship Matthew re-enter Boston after September 11th, Lloyd's Register has been at the forefront of developing prac- tical analysis of LNG incidents, produc- ing a large number of privately-commis- sioned studies on the nature of attacks or accidents, direct consequences to the ship and wider consequences to the gen- eral public.

The T50 gasketed plate heat exchang- er from Alfa Laval is reportedly the world's largest of its kind for marine and land-based applications. The T50 is designed to meet the demands of mod- ern engines for increasingly larger ves- sels and industrial plants. Cooling large engines at reasonable costs requires sufficiently large flow rates at low velocities and with minimal pressure loss. The T50 plate heat exchanger uses available pump pressure for heat transfer while reducing the pres- sure losses in ports and connections, contributing to savings in terms of capi- tal expenditures and operating costs. The T50 has a 500 mm port to ensure Circle 255 on Reader Service Card that its flow rate is as large as possible. To provide the best capacity, it also has a large heat transfer surface area (approximately 3.5 sq. m. per plate). However, although the T50 is one of the world's largest plate heat exchanger, it is also the world's most compact solution for cooling large engines and therefore occupies less space than other solutions. This translates into savings in installa- tion costs since fewer pumps are required and in operating costs since fewer exchangers are required to heat the same volume of media. The T50 has a new plate system that is designed to improve heat exchanger per- formance for large cooling require- ments. The system enables three basic plates (low-theta, medium-theta and high-theta) to be combined in five dif- ferent channel arrangements. This allows heat exchanger design to be opti- mized to specific temperature programs. Circle 14 on Reader Service Card

Training & Education Virtual Reality Preps Crews for High-Risk Ops
In the Incident Configurator tool that VSTEP made for the Port of Rotterdam authorities, an instructor can configure an incident to his preference. He can choose from three ship types, set the location (inside the harbour or on open sea), and set some weather conditions like wind direction and force. Students subsequently experience the incident from a viewpoint of an incident response ship. In a class- room, they discuss the best way of attacking the fire.

Using the mouse or joystick, he is free to move around, make decisions, communicate with others and take appropriate action. The trainee is directly confronted with the consequences of his decisions. As a result of powerful visuals, active participation and direct feedback, people learn faster and remember procedures better. Being able to repeat incident sce- narios over and over, shapes behaviour and develops competencies.

The well spud- ded on July 7, 2005, and encountered a significant hydrocarbon column in a high-quality reservoir inter- val. A drill stem test was conducted that flowed gas at a rate of approximately 33 million standard cubic feet per day on a one-inch choke. The well reached a total depth of 4,037 meters and will be plugged and abandoned as programmed. Technical evaluation to assess the further appraisal and development of the Caldita discovery is in progress. NT/P 61 is located in the Timor Sea approximately 265 kilometers north northwest of Darwin. The Caldita No. 1 well was drilled in 137 meters of water. The NT/P 61 license is jointly held by an affiliate of ConocoPhillips (operator, 60 percent) and Santos Offshore Pty. Ltd.
