SNAME Annual out and system performance.

Using the results from the SHEBA study, Fleet Technology Ltd. is working in partnership with the University of

Greenwich to develop a new generation of ship evacuation simulation software called maritimeEXODUS. This tool enables marine designers and inspectors to assess the effectiveness of evacuation procedures, as well as provide design recommendations for new ships. Both hope that the research will be completed

Westfalia Debuts New

Separator Breed

Westfalia Separator Mineraloil Sys- tems has introduced what it is dubbing a radically modified new separator genera- tion, dubbed the "D" series — a line of products characterized by a modified bowl design, which help to make the units safer and more efficient.. The D- type series is comprised of the models

OSD 5, OSD 15, OSD 30 and OSD 50, a line-up designed to cover the complete application and performance range of today's shipping customers.

The new line is designed to provide improved separation efficiency, lower fresh water consumption, and mainte- nance intervals up to 16,000 hours, while demanding 40 percent less space and a 60 percent reduction in weight.

All self-cleaning separators of the new

D-Type generation for diverse applica- tions in oil and water treatment will operate with belt drives. By using a flat belt drive in lieu of a gear, the manufac- turer delivers a unit that is easier to maintain, thanks in large part to a 30 per- cent reduction in the number of parts.

Lower sensitivity to vibrations, low noise level and better price-performance ratio are also promised.

October, 2001 in the next few months and plan to launch maritimeEXODUS this autumn. "maritimeEXODUS will be the ship evacuation and passenger modeling pro- gram against which all others will be measured. Its pedigree, and the fact that it is being offered through a leading marine engineering company who truly understand the industry's issues, backed by a full time research and development staff at the University of Greenwich make it totally unique," Glen said.

As a nation with one of the world's largest ferry fleets and with a range of passenger vessels from small ferries to cruise ships calling at its major ports.

Canada has a direct interest in effective evacuations. Canada is working with the International Maritime Organization and other nations to improve ship evac- uation methods and developing tools for assessing the suitability of designs.
