Panama Canal Authority Customizes GHS
A longtime user of GHS (General HydroStatics, ship stability software), the Panama Canal Authority took advan- tage of the flexibility of this software to develop a special interface for use by its Boarding Officers. This was done in conjunction with a training session at the offices of Creative Systems in Port Townsend, Wash., covering advanced modeling techniques. The Panama Canal uses GHS to calculate interior volume of hull and superstructure for assessing the tonnage of ships passing through the canal. It is expected that the training along with the new interface will reduce the time it takes to create vessel models and calculate tonnage.

Pusher Tugs for the Amazon's Barge Trade Over the last two years, MAN B&W Diesel A/S, Denmark has been successful with a total of 19 engine and propulsion package contracts to Brazilian tugboat owners. Ten medium-speed engines, five of type 6L23/30A-F and five of type 8L23/30A-F, were recent- ly selected for a series of single-screw pusher tugs under construction in Brazil, at the yard of Estaleiro Sao Joao. The vessels were ordered by the owner J.F. de Oliveira Navegacao Ltd, Brazil. This new MAN B&W Diesel powered series follows another series of six pusher tugs. These vessels are powered by three single-screw, and three twin-screw propulsion packages, type MAN B&W 8L23/30-FKV, ordered by the Brazilian owner Transportes Bertolini Ltda, Manaus. Both series of tugs will be deployed in the special- ized Amazon inland waterways transport system - based on barges. Soya beans, bauxite and trailers from the inland of Brazil and Bolivia are loaded on barges and pushed via the Amazon river system to Santarém and Belém on the Atlantic coast. In Santarém, the barge cargoes of soya beans and bauxite are transferred to overseas trading, ocean-going cargo vessels for the export markets. The engines for the Oliveira tugs will be operating on Heavy Fuel Oil (IF180) and will be driving FP pro- pellers via reverse/reduction gearboxes. For the Bertolini tugs, also operating on HFO IF180, complete MAN B&W Alpha Propulsion Systems with CP Propellers and Alphatronic Control Systems were chosen.

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.

As we all know, the American cruise business purchases all of its hardware from mainland Europe: this is a problem shared by both the U.K. and the U.S. The romance of the liner via its recent- ly invented brand message of 'the classic age of travel' has proven a powerful elic- itor of emotion, and the longevity of the myth far exceeds its practical applica- tions. The launch last year of the RMS Queen Mary 2 is the biggest possible confirmation from Cunard of the con- cept that 'emotion sells'. The largest, tallest, longest, fastest liner of today, weighing in at a mighty 150,000 gt, car- rying 2,600 passengers, is a massive statement for any cruise company to make. Its more than notional references to the past go well beyond the name, from the revisitation in the atrium space (see mural from QM2 and QM symbol- izing the link between Europe and North America), to the architectural massing of the vessel herself. Inside we are reminded of an historical past, albeit a mythical one, while at the same time the ship is furnished with the latest in onboard technology. Strangely, her fun- nel pays homage to her older sister, the QE2, although perhaps with some of the “ TO FIND THE FINEST practicalities of James Gardner's orig- inal design being superseded by the sheer iconic symbolism of the thing.

senger accommodation into a single tourist class. Even though there were isolated exam- ples of cruise specific newbuildings, convert- ed liners were destined to be the interim solu- 2005 tion to providing sufficient cruise ships for this growing market. These first cruise ships have strong links to YEARBOOK the past simply because they began their lives as liners. In particular British cruise passen- gers became so attached to them that the own- ers insisted on carrying over into their cruise- specific newbuildings the well loved features of their old liners in order to maintain cus- tomer loyalty. Of course this oft quoted 'Golden Age' may well have existed, but we suspect only on a good day and if you were traveling first class. Yet this is what the modern day cruise ship is trying to emulate for the holiday market. Should it? We suspect this is not too dissim- ilar from today's trend for ferry companies to invite you to cruise to your destination, rather than just journey there. Not only were the architectural characteris- tics of the ocean liner handed down to subse- quent cruise ship designs, but also the appar- ent romance connected with ocean liner trav- el. So the liner appears not only to have shaped the way we now design cruise ships, but also the way we travel on them and what we expect from a cruising holiday. Of course many designers and architects are notoriously elitist and even arrogant in what they feel makes a good ship. If you look at these ves- sels from the technological perspective then perhaps we should not be so harsh, they real- ly are, as one senior cruise executive said to me recently, "fabulous bits of kit and provide mass market cruising in a business which has been largely elitist till now". The technologi- cal breakthroughs which the industry has forced are many and indeed fabulous but more of that later. By far the most important route was the transatlantic one between European cities and New York. All the famous operators plied this route and there were prizes to be won for the line which achieved the fastest crossing. America, emerging from World War II rela- tively unscathed and buoyed by victory, understandably set out to capture the Blue Riband at virtually the 11th hour of the transatlantic liner. In 1952, the United States Line's vessel, United States, relieved the Queen Mary of this coveted prize through lower weight brought about by the extensive use of aluminum. She was described as a 'ship of innovation' and a 'technological marvel' and her recording breaking crossing pro- pelled her 50,000 ton sleek body at an aver- age speed of 35.59 knots - a feat never to be matched by such a scale of vessel.

The future of such vessels now lay in their adaptation for cruising and all new buildings would henceforth be designed specifically for this burgeoning leisure market. When the designs for the QE2 were exhibited at the Design Centre in London in the early 1960s it was clear to the visitor that she had been conceived as a liner. Her interior concepts and pro- file had the air, though not the style, of her predecessors the Queens Mary and Elizabeth.

"A large cruising liner is the nearest thing so far to a completely man-made nameless. total environment. It houses every kind of human concern, work, play health, sickness, birth and death and at its best the scope of its facilities transcends most buildings and many towns." (Kenneth Agnew, 'The Building of the QE2', Architectural Review, 1969) All these years later she still retains a form of regal elegance which seems to defy time and logic, even the addition of the two (aluminum) penthouse decks during the 1987 refit have not stolen too much of Gardner's original form.

heavily from both the 'old Queen Mary' and from the QE2 herself, the result being more of a hybrid than a thoroughbred. But the true power of the QE2 is as an icon and it has been an 2005 almost 'religious' search by cruise ship designers and architects to rediscover this mysterious power which has continued ever since. By 1966 vessels like Norwegian Caribbean YEARBOOK Line's Sunward represented the start of the boom period in Florida-based cruising and cruise business, a trend still going strong almost forty years later. For me the modern era really began with Royal Caribbean and the building of Sovereign of the Seas, not just because we were lucky enough to be involved with the project, but more because this was the building of a major vessel with one idea firmly in mind - the cruise experience. Described at the time as a "hotel at sea", her creation was to set the scene for the future. It was almost like the firing of a starting pistol: the race was on and everybody wanted a piece of the action. This 'Klondike' of the cruise building industry was great news for Western European shipyards as the boom in building exceeded all predictions. Sovereign of the Seas broke all the rules, or rather re-invent- ed some of them. The famous atrium, a shipping innovation in its own right, had no precedent, and at the time I recall the debate that raged around Njell Aides' concept. In the end, creativ- ity and market drivers won the day and 'atrium envy' began. No ship could be built without one, and Njell excelled himself as a master in their creation, outperforming his previous creation every time. Since those early days in modern cruising the industry has moved a long way buoyed up not just by the burgeoning number of new large cruise ships rolling off the stocks in European shipyards and arriving on station in Miami or New York but also by the steady increase in passenger numbers globally.

The 25-ton crane, which used to stand on the port side, has been relo- cated to the starboard side, and has been upgraded for work down to a depth of 500 m. The vessel used to accommodate a crew of 70. That capacity is adequate for pure pipe-laying assignments, but more hands are needed for the more demanding construction jobs. "This challenge is met by the upgrad- ing of existing accommodation, and by extending the superstructure towards the stern. We have put in extra cabins, an ROV hangar for remotely controlled mini-submarines, an ROV control room, an office and a conference room. We will now be able to accommodate a crew of 102.

The umbilicals are cables that provide sub- sea and other installations with among other hydraulic, fiber optic and electric power. Flexi pipes are designed to con- duct gas and oil between installations on the sea bed. "Three of the assignments are inside the English sector, and involve laying umbilicals and flexi pipes.

And, with proper operation, repair and maintenance the actual service life can be quite a long time. The other approach, characterizing much of design criteria to date, is "deter- ministic" which, to continue the exam- ple, would assign a numerical value to "design life" and rely on currently understood design criteria to specify a structure that should function for that period of time. The working group appears to have reached majority agree- ment that, in the short term, Tier II func- tional requirements will be expressed as numerical standards with further consid- eration of risk-based methodology post- poned until the next session. That will provide those delegations supporting the risk-based approach an opportunity to submit more detailed presentations. Both Greece and the United States expressed a pragmatic approach: because the data sets needed for a fully risk-based methodology were enormous and the efforts for their analysis and cal- ibration to current standards would require years, the more prescriptive approach should be followed in order to achieve practical standards for tankers Circle 299 on Reader Service Card and bulk carriers in the short term.

Further, the coating life functional requirement no longer speci- fies a design life and reads as not much more than a general exhortation that sur- face preparation and coating mainte- nance shall be in accordance with man- ufacturers' specifications. There is a functional requirement for design transparency: the process should be reliable, controlled and sufficiently transparent to confirm the safety of the new, as-built ship, consistent with pro- tection of intellectual property rights. Similarly, construction should be in accordance with controlled and trans- parent quality production standards, also consistent with intellectual property rights.

The working group was unable to con- sider Tier III verification and compli- ance criteria. These are intended to be methods, practices and procedures, to confirm that classification societies' pre- scriptive rules accord with Tiers I and II, that the designs of individual ships meet class rules and that their construction enables them to satisfy class rules throughout their design lives.

Another possibility is that the GE Transportation International Association of Classification Societies ("IACS"), as a Marine body distinct from its members, could undertake the verification task. IACS has just completed a lengthy project of formulating common structural rules for tankers and bulk carriers, a most worth- while and positive step for the entire industry.

His body washed up in South Carolina after a fierce storm. What could be smaller? How about a 19-and-a-half-foot "folding kayak?" This well-engineered craft, built by German Franziskus Romer, was com- plete with foot-operated bilge pump, inflatable gasbags and sponsons. Romer even had the foresight to conduct sea tri- als before embarking on an impetuous voyage. On June 3, 1938, he set out from the Canary Islands to the Antilles, a 3,000-mile journey. After 58 days at sea, fighting fatigue, hunger and sharks, Romer arrived at St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands. He was hailed as the new Lindberg. After recovering his strength, Romer decided to sail the rest of the way to New York, but was lost in a force-12 hurricane shortly after depart- ing St. Thomas. How about driving across the Atlantic? Australian Ben Carlin bought an Army surplus amphibious GP-A (General Purpose - Amphibious) craft at government auction, modified it with a "cabin" and large fuel tank, "water- proofed" the underside with neoprene rubber, recruited his wife, Elinore, as first mate, and in 1950, after months of fits and starts, left Halifax for the Azores. Carlin named his improbable craft Half Safe. It took 32 demanding and difficult days to reach the Azores, at about three knots, but after replenishing and some voyage repairs they continued to Cape Juby in the Azores. Elinore had seen enough, and divorced Carlin.(that's hysterical!) Ben enjoyed the experience, and set out to cross from Hong Kong to Japan, this time with another friend. In 1957, with yet another mate, he crossed from Japan to Anchorage, island hop- ping along the way, then drove to Montreal.

Indeed, between 2001 and 2004, over 60 MasterClasses were undertaken in UK shipyards, boatyards, suppliers and subcontractors, delivering an average productivity improvement of 26% and leaving each company with a long-term improvement plan and the wherewithal to tackle continuous improvement year on year. Some of the companies that benefited from this scheme included Buckie Shipyard, Solar Solve, A&P Falmouth and VT Shipbuilding. The MasterClass initiative came to an end last year after the UK Department of Trade and Industry changed the way in which it offers support to the industry. But despite this, the SSA intends to soon launch a similar concept, with, it is hoped, equally successful results. The overall effect that this level of commitment has had on the UK mar- itime industry is indicative in the num- ber of military contracts on the horizon. Industry leader in There is the CVF program, of course, and the A&P Group has been invited to new construction, bid for work on the Future Carrier which conversion, and includes the building of super blocks to be constructed at the A&P dry docks at shiprepair for over Hebburn, Southampton and Birkenhead.

This major lengthening project was awarded to A&P Tyne Ltd. in August 2002, following intensive global compe- EQUIPMENT SHOWN IS NOT TO SCALE COPYRIGHT 2000~2003 tition. The repair yard utilised state of Circle 203 on Reader Service Card Circle 213 on Reader Service Card the art laser mapping technology before craftsmen performed the actual cutting and rejoining of the vessel. "Any time a vessel like that is off-line it means a huge loss in costs so A&P turned it around in record time. A good indication of the yard's skills is that the owner brought the ship all the way from West Africa when there are yards out there to a European yard and A&P won that contract. It's testament to their skill in repair and conversion," he said. Ship Recycling Repair yards could also be best placed to benefit from new initiatives that could see the UK becoming a center of excel- lence for environmentally-safe ship decommissioning, recycling and scrap- ping — an area of research in which the SSA is also heavily involved. As part of a wider $9.8 million EU- funded project, the SSA is looking at the feasibility of a European ship recycling market and what kind of dedicated facil- ities and technologies would be required for established yards to undertake this kind of work. Tom Dougherty, SSA director, said "Ship recycling is a viable market and the UK Department for Circle 288 on Reader Service Card Circle 247 on Reader Service Card June 2005 63 MR JUNE 2005 #8 (57-64).qxd 6/2/2005 4:12 PM Page 64 The UK lengthened the !GARIEP, a De Beers diamond the hazardous contents of a vessel from design mining vessel by A&P Tyne, in 2003. through to disposal. Equipment Suppliers 2005 UK marine equipment suppliers, however, have experienced tough times over the last few years "but have emerged lean and hungry generally producing innovative and high tech products at competitive YEARBOOK prices which the world's shipbuilding yards are pre- pared to procure and place on their makers lists", claims John Southerden, director of the British Marine Equipment Association (BMEA), emphasizing that some 70% of newbuild value can be in equipment alone. Marine equipment producers in the UK have had to embark on major export drives to survive and Southerden estimates that the majority of UK OEMs export up to 80% of their products, which encourages competitiveness and react favourably to quotes and delivery times with dispatch to keep ahead of the game. UK companies are establishing a very good image worldwide in respect of after sales service through long established agency networks and this can reduce the "through life" costs which shipowners, operators and managers face throughout the life of the ship. They also keep ahead of the competition by ensuring their products are class type approved by the leading classification societies, said Southerden. BMEA plays a major role in facilitating Government grants through U.K. Trade and Investment to ensure UK marine equipment suppliers are able to explore new export markets as well as further develop those where they have a foothold. "We have recently taken marine companies to Poland, Turkey, and China on outward trade missions to the shipyards, design cen- tres and to meet shipowners," said Southerden, whose Association is able to arrange for firms to meet ship- yard procurement teams on a one to one basis, match- ing the type of product with the actual buyer. Korean Seal of Approval Southerden said that Samsung Heavy Industries had shown him a list of its U.K. suppliers, which "embraced the majority of our members", while the Procurement Director at DSME in charge of their massive newbuild programs, singled out Hamworthy's unique and innovative boil-off gas reliquefaction sys- tem for LNG propulsion units." In December, last year the UK-based fluid systems supplier won orders Circle 234 on Reader Service Card and a letter of intent totaling $87.6 million to supply eight LNG Reliquefaction Systems (RS) to the world's largest LNG carriers — and the first to use low-speed diesel propulsion engines — being built in Korea by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME). At the time of writing, Hamworthy has also announced firm orders for four more liquid natural gas reliquefaction systems plus an option for one further shipset from Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI). The systems will be deliverable to SHI over the period mid 2006 to mid 2007. However, due to commercial sensi- tivities Hamworthy was unable to disclose to Maritime Reporter the value of the contract. These LNG tankers will be part of the fleet that will carry LNG from the expanding QatarGas II field. The new orders bring the total number of confirmed Hamworthy LNG-RS on order to 12 shipsets. Kelvyn Derrick, Chief Executive, Hamworthy plc said: 'They reflect a growing trend for oil companies to seek the long term cost savings provided by slow speed diesel Circle 237 on Reader Service Card propulsion with LNG-RS. 64 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News MR JUNE 2005 #9 (65-72).qxd 6/3/2005 11:21 AM Page 1 COMPLETE MARINE PUMP PACKAGES Products: • Screw Pumps • Piston Pumps • Centrifugal Pumps • PC Pumps Services: • Marine Diesel Oil • Sea Water • Fuel Oil • Fresh Water • Lube Oil • Cargo • Hydraulic Oil • Anti-Heeling • Waste Oil • Grey and Black Water Pump Design Features: • Vertical, Horizontal or Deepwell Mounting • Meet ASTM F998 and F1510 requirements • In-line Flanges (ANSI or DIN) • Inherent Pump/Motor Alignment • Integral Relief Valve • Easily Maintained • Class Approved Contact Leistritz Corporation at: phone: (201) 934-8262 website: www.leistritzcorp.com/pumps Circle 265 on Reader Service Card Circle 310 on Reader Service Card June 2005 65 MR JUNE 2005 #9 (65-72).qxd 6/2/2005 5:12 PM Page 2 SeaWave Onboard M/V Transportation and Public Facilities and Harris Teams with ANS experience, is seeking to expand its Chenega other interested parties to track the voy- Harris Electric has teamed with Aleut presence in the Oregon, Washington and Derecktor Shipyards, builder of the age using SeaWave's STAR (ship track- Northwest Services (ANS) to pursue Alaska regions, specifically focusing on Alaskan Maritime Highway's newest ing and reporting) vessel tracking soft- future government business.

The genset also lim- its noise and vibration while generating power for a wide range of needs, including heavy load applications. Improved fuel economy is achieved throughout the C4.4 genset's entire speed range and is facilitated by a greater degree of timing control in the combustion process. The C4.4 genset features an integral oil cooler inside the cylinder block, so that no external hoses or pipe work are required. Long service intervals of 500 hours also contribute to reduced maintenance needs. Anti-vibration mounts connected to the engine drip tray and a steel base are designed to provide significant noise and vibration reduction. Adding an optional sound-attenuated enclosure (available in the second quarter of 2005) can further reduce noise. A standard electronically governed fuel injection pump is designed to provide the genset with superior load acceptance. When loads change, the unit maintains power and delivers it smoothly for uninterrupted operation of connect- ed components. For example, lights operated by a C4.4 genset do not flicker when genset load demands increase. The C4.4 genset features an in-line, four-stroke diesel engine with a crossflow cylinder head. It has a 4.4-liter (269 cu. in.) displacement and is available in nat- urally aspirated, turbocharged and turbocharged aftercooled options. In addition, the genset meets EPATier 2 emission standards at its 1800 rpm ratings and Central Commission for Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR) standards at its 1500 rpm rat- ings.
