World's First Full Mission Diesel

Electric Simulator Debuts

RTM STAR Center (Simulation,

Training, Assessment and Research) has installed what it dubs the world's first

Full Mission Diesel Electric Simulator -

DE III. The simulator is located at

STAR Center's Dania Beach. Fla., facil- ity and is based on a previous design by

Kongsberg Maritime Ship Systems.

This simulator, however, has enhanced mechanical and electrical systems enabling it to meet the demanding

STCW '95 requirements for Class "A" full mission simulation. The simulator is based on a large cruise ship requiring 40

MW of power at 6,600 volts. There are four diesel generator sets, each rated at 11 MW, connected to two 14 MW syn- chronous propulsion motors. In addition there are four thrusters (two forward, two aft) and two 600 KW emergency generators. The ship modeled is 77,000 grt, with a cruising speed of 18.5 knots.

The simulator equipment is arranged in a three-room suite consisting of a

Control Room, Engine Room, and High

Voltage Room. The training can be spe- cific in nature for equipment familiariza- tion or more general when used for plant management or Engine Room Resource

Management (ERM).

Hagglunds Drives Makes

Major Changes

Hagglunds drives is kick- ing off the new year with, what it dubs, a radical image change that includes a new slogan

January, 2002 "Our Drive is your Performance," the emphasis on red as the brand color and a mascot named Max. "We hope our cus- tomers will take our new mascot Max to heart," said Per Nordgren, the compa- ny's new managing director. In addition to the new marketing ploys, the compa- ny is planning to expand its presence in

North and South America, which cur- rently accounts for 30 percent of its business but is believed to contain much more potential.

The company has developed a new range of radial piston motors called

Compact CB, to be available in 2002.

The motor range, designed into a com- pact package, builds upon the strengths of current designs.

It can provide torques of up to 213,500 lbf-ft., displacements of between 3.9 and 13.7 gallons and speeds approaching 100 rpm.
