The engine of change

Article Abstract:

The 20th Marine Propulsion Conference sponsored by the publication 'The Motor Ship' deviated from past conferences by doing away with a single overall theme. Instead, a distinct issue was tackled by each session. Among the items discussed were the International Maritime Organization regulation limiting a 1.5% sulphur limit in fuel, marine engine problems and benefits and myths associated with synthetic lubricants. The closing session of the conference featured a panel composed of engine manufacturers that fielded questions from conference participants. The Motor Ship/cnf; Marine propulsion/cnf

Convergence of naval and commercial shipbuilding standards

Article Abstract:

Speakers of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Natship conference stated that there is a revolution in the way naval ships are adopting commercial design and maintenance standards. The commercial shipbuilding standards have evolved rules for noise, vibration, high-speed craft and commercial submarines together with pressure to reduce manning by adopting machinery surveillance.
