The Marine Section of the Na- tional Safety Council cited eight operations for special awards.

They included the Marine Divi- sion of Atlantic Cement Compa- ny ; the Gulf Coast Fleet of Exxon

Inland Waterways; the Gulf Tow- ing Division of Nilo Barge and the River Towing Division of Nilo

Barge; the Marine Repair Divi- sion of Ashland Petroleum and the Tanker Division of Ashland

Petroleum; the United Brands

Stevedoring at Charleston, S.C., and the Charleston Naval Ship- yard.

AIMS represents American-flag vessel companies throughout the

U.S. and is the largest manage- ment organization in the coun- try's merchant marine industry.

The Marine Section, on the other hand, is one of 28 industrial com- ponents comprising the National

Safety Council. As such, it is the largest group in the coast-to- coast marine industry devoted to safety and reducing accidents among workers in the U.S. ship- ping industry.

In addition to compilation of records related to the annual

Awards program, AIMS and the

Marine Section are active in a wide range of other areas that further the concept of industry safety. These include the study of issues, development of pro- posals to reduce accidents, and participation in conferences in the

United States and abroad that deal with such matters.

Rigos Firms Will Engage

In Brokerage For Ocean

Transportation Of Coal

Rigos Chartering and Rigos

Maritime have announced that in addition to their present activi- ties, they will also engage in brokerage for the ocean transpor- tation of coal.

Capt. E.N. Rigos, president, said that special attention will be directed to such areas as port fa- cilities (existing and proposed), transshipment areas and voyage analysis which will assist all parties concerned with coal trans- portation. The combined exper- tise of their dry and oil broker- age will be an asset to shipown- ers of combination tonnage, ex- porters, importers, traders and suppliers of coal, worldwide, he said. In addition, Mr. Rigos said they have assigned a special tel- ephone number (212) 599-2512 for this activity.

IHI's New Shaft Generator

System Meets Its

Design Expectations

Installed on a new 80,700-dwt tanker, the first unit of the SSG (Super-economical Shaft Gener- ator) system developed by IHI

July 1, 1981 (Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy

Industries Co., Ltd.), Japan, has demonstrated excellent perform- ance through the ship's official trial runs, meeting all of its de- sign expectations.

The SSG system is an exhaust gas turbogenerator mechanically connected with the main shaft of the propulsion engine through a reduction gearing. The first unit was employed for the tanker

Neptune Pegasus delivered re- cently to Neptune Orient Lines,

Singapore.

Through the performance tests, it was confirmed that the surplus turbine output is fed back to the propulsion system and that in case of turbine output shortage the power from the main engine can assist the generator to drive.

Thus, it has been proven that the steam obtained from waste heat is effectively transformed into power and that the power is transmitted through the reduc- tion gearing.

The propulsion machinery of the Neptune Pegasus is a 15,000- bhp IHI S.E.M.T. Pielstick 10-

PC4V diesel engine. With the en- gine operating at a 75-percent- rated output (11,250 bhp), ap- proximately 220 bhp surplus was fed back to the propulsion sys- tem after having completely pro- vided the electricity required for the ship.
