Ulstein Nabs Swire Design

And Supply Business

Ulstein is to supply designs and equipment packages for four

UT719 anchor-handling supply vessels which are to be built at

Imamura Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. in

Japan.

The order has been placed by

Swire Pacific Offshore (SPO), a major operator of offshore vessels based in Singapore.

The first is to be handed over by

Imamura in March 1999, with the others following at approximately three-month intervals.

The UT719, a new design, is a relatively small vessel which brings experience from the leading edge of offshore support technolo- gy into an established market.

There has long been a general market requirement for a small combined platform supply vessel and anchor-handler, and many of these currently in operation are either nearing the end of their eco- nomic lives or are technically out- dated. The UT719 has a length of about 58m, a deadweight of around 1,400 tons, and a design bollard pull of 60 tons.

Ulstein In Joint Venture To

Develop New Diesel Engine

Ulstein's diesel engine division has completed agreements with

Hyundai Heavy Industries to cover the manufacture of Ulstein

Bergen engines in South Korea and the joint development of a new engine.

The two companies will jointly develop a new generation of diesel engines, and in the interim

Hyundai will build Ulstein

Bergen's existing range of 'K' and 'B' series engines under license in

South Korea for both marine appli- cations and land-based power pro- duction.

LR Seeks To Boost Communications Links

Radically improving its communications with both clients and surveyors is a key objective for Lloyd's Register (LR), Chris Wade, managing director of LR's Marine Division, said recently.

In detailing the organizations efforts, Mr. Wade said "We have launched a new Ship Survey Reporting System (SSRS). The new software system will improve consistency in surveys and survey reporting, reduce reporting time, and provide the capability for fast, electronic updating, storage and retrieval of information.

ClassDirect will soon provide client with direct access to survey sta- tus information via the LR Web site."

In noting the plethora of product advances, Mr. Wade did howev- er say that "LR's central mission remained the same: that of con- stantly striving to improve ship safety."

He added that the safety of bulk carriers remained a top priority

The LR-classed fleet rose again during 1997 to 104.8 mgt (com- pared with 103.2 mgt in 1996) and LR maintained the largest share, 20.1 percent, of the existing fleet.

LR Updates Bulk Carrier Safety Publication

Lloyd's Register (LR) published a completely revised edition of

Bulk Carriers — An Update, to take account of the latest interna- tional developments and requirements to enhance bulk carrier safe- ty. The document was originally published in July 1995, followed by an updated version in January 1996.

The new version incorporates a number of additional features, including an important section on areas at risk. This describes the likely flooding scenarios resulting from failure of a bulk carrier's primary and secondary barriers, and identifies the structural areas at risk from damage that could contribute to failure of each barri- er. Such damage includes cracking at hatch corners, buckling of cross-deck strips, corrosion and cracking of side shell frame end brackets, corrosion and buckling of watertight bulkheads, and grab and bulldozer damage to the inner bottom.
