Diesel Engine Simulator

Engineering students at Texas

A&M University at Galveston, Tex- as, (TAMUG) will soon be able to simulate a ship's engine room in the classroom with a new $205,900 Nor- control Diesel Engine Simulator which will be installed at the Mit- chell Campus on Pelican Island.

According to Prof. William C.

Van Loo of the TAMUG engineer- ing department, the equipment can compress years of experience into a few weeks of training and can give the student an easier introduction to background theories.

The configuration of the simula- tor is that the instructor is equipped with shipshape consoles and panels arranged in a realistic environment, while the students are furnished with color graphic displays and key- boards.

The system is also applicable for simulation of the deck operation of the ship, which will allow students who are training toward licenses as third mates to experience the "bridge" relationship with the en- gine room.

ScanRope Introduces

Two New Mooring Ropes

ScanRope a/s, one of Norway's largest manufacturers of wire ropes and fiber ropes, has introduced two new mooring ropes in the market, based on its successful Karat fiber.

The products are "Karatlas," and "18Karat." Karatlas is a six- strand wire rope laid rope with a combination of Karat-fiber and thick monofilaments. The manufac- turer reports the main benefit is its structural stability, which allows it to be used on self-tensioning win- ches in several layers without crush- ing or jamming. It has low elonga- tion and excellent abrasion resist- ance. Until now, this rope has been produced with nylon fiber only. Ka- ratlas weighs less and is therefore more economical.

With 18Karat, ScanRope uses a process that covers the outer yarn in the Karat Maxi hawser with a thin mantle of polyester. This gives an optimal combination of Karat's very high strength with Polyester's excel- lent abrasion properties. ScanRope indicates at least a 50 percent in- crease in abrasion resistance when compared to ordinary Karat, poly- propylene, etc., but with only a small cost increase.

A new brochure, "Shipping Ropes

For The 90's," explaining all these products in detail, is now available from ScanRope. For a free copy,
