The second paper was co-au- thored by a group of senior ma- rine engineering students of the

State University of New York

Maritime College, class of 1982—

Brian Emch, Christopher John- son, and Lautaro Montgomery.

The title of the paper was "Coal

Fired Commercial Vessels — A

Practical Alternative."

In each of the past two years, one section of Maritime College senior marine engineering stu- dents has been engaged in the design of coal-fired merchant ves- sels and related sub-systems.

These projects have included the design of a coal-fired container- ship, and a coal-fired ro/ro vessel, concentrating on power plant re- finements and the interface of the vessel and the bunkering facility.

The present paper summarized the results of the work done and discussed the economics of coal- fired ships. The paper illustrated how coal firing can offer a viable economic alternative to oil firing of ships, and the various possi- ble alternative designs were dis- cussed. The design projects on which the material presented in the paper was based were per- formed under the direction of

Prof. Jose Femenia, who made the introductory comments.

Lbe New 35 Our customers tell us the new Tensor fie best lashing tensioner f hey have ever used "We had both Tensors and toggle gear on the tankers. I could see movement in the toggle lashings, but not the

Tensor and chain." .. .".The Tensor" will not slip...We can get the chain tightened with less effort and it won't come loose once it's tight — it's 100% safer to use." .. .'.'It's less susceptible to damage and is easier to adjust.

The Tensor can be tightened with a socket wrench without releasing the lashing. It has a marked advantage over the toggle and lever." 1 w. ex. \ * % 1 \ O 1 \ > ^ \ pro on t tend- and 1 what the un while \ \ \ \ ** '
