Limongelli And Elia Named Vice-Presidents By East West Shipping Eugene B. Limongelli has been named vice-president of sales for East West Shipping Agencies, Inc., 17 Battery Place, New York, N.Y., according to an announcemnet by Edward M. Halloran, president. Mr. Limongelli has been actively engaged in foreign trade since 1957 both in operations and solicitation. Prior to joining East West he was manager of the Virginia State Ports Authority office in New York. During his years in the steam-ship business, he has gained vast experience in all phases of foreign trade and transport. Allen F. Elia also has been named vice-president of operations. Mr. Elia was formerly vice-presi-dent in charge of terminal opera-tions for United States Navigation Company for both break-bulk serv-ice and container service. Westours Acquiring 250-Passenger Ship Westours, Inc., a Seattle-based cruise ship organization, has an-nounced plans to acquire the 250-passenger liner Izarra for opera-tions in the Alaskan trade in 1970. With the new ship, to be re-named the West Star, Westour's fleet will number four vessels. Al-ready in operation are the Polar Star, Glacier Queen and Yukon Star. Littleton To Prepare Vibration Studies For Avondale On LASH Littleton Research and Engineer-ing Corp. was recently awarded a contract by Avondale Shipyards Inc. for the continuation of hull vibration studies on the LASH ships. Under a previous contract with Avondale, Littleton Research studied the vertical vibration of the LASH ships in order to predict where vibration problems might occur. On the basis of these studies a number of recommendations re-sulted in design changes. Avondale Shipyards then decided to have the vibration prediction on the LASH ships completed by studying the coupled torsional-lateral modes. The torsional-lateral modes of vibration are considerably more complex than the vertical modes. Thus, although they are often the more severe form of vibration, they are considerably harder to predict than the vertical modes. The prediction procedure de-veloped by Littleton Research re-quires a detailed evaluation of the mass and elastic properties of the ship, and a careful estimate of both the hull pressure forces and the harmonic forces generated on the propeller. The calculations take in-to account the effects of local re-sonances, the influence of added mass due to water inertia and the effect of the gyroscopic forces oc-curring at the propeller. The re-sult is a prediction of overall vibra-September 1, 1969 53 tion amplitudes at key points throughout the ship. Filippo Cali, chief naval archi-tect for Avondale Shipyards, is co-ordinating the program. F. E. Reed, president of Littleton Research, and Ronald G. Orner, a senior analyst, are making the vibration predictions.
