SHIP COSTS & ENERGY 82

September 30 - October — New York, NY

The New York Metropolitan

Section of SNAME, in conjunc- tion with T&R Panel 0-36 (Eco- nomic Analysis of Marine Trans- portation Systems), The Society of Naval Architects and Marine

Engineers, will present from Sep- tember 30th to October 1st a "Symposium on Ship Costs and

Energy." This symposium is a follow-up on the most successful "Shipboard Energy Conservation

Symposium" held in 1980 and is being held clue to the many re- quests for an updating on this vital subject. The symposium ses- sions will be held at the Waldorf

Astoria Hotel.

During the Technical Sessions, 26 papers will be presented along with one panel discussion. The keynote paper, "Ship Costs and

Energy Conservation from an

Owner's Point of View," will be given by Eugene K. Pentimonti, vice president, engineering, Amer- ican President Lines, at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 30, and will set the tone of the sympo- sium.

Following the keynote paper, the symposium will split into two concurrent sessions. The "Ship

Costs" portion will address ship- building and ship operating costs.

The recent economic environment of double-digit inflation, high in- terest and exchange rates, has been complicated by changing vessel designs, new pollution and safety regulations, and energy shortages. This highly dynamic situation did not exist 10 years uled for both Thursday and Fri- day in the Empire Room of the hotel. Prof. Harry Benford, Uni- versity of Michigan, will speak at the Thursday luncheon, and the Hon. Harold E. Shear, Mari- time Administrator, Department of Transportation, will speak at the Friday luncheon.

A no-host general reception will take place on Thursday eve- ning at 6:00 p.m. in the Hilton

Room.

First Of Four Exxon

Tankers Delivered By

China Shipbuilding

The Esso Mexico, the first of four 89,000-dwt fuel-efficient tankers being built for Esso

Tankers, Inc., Florham Park, N.J., at the Kaoshiung shipyard of

China Shipbuilding Corporation,

Taiwan, was delivered recently.

The tanker was designed pri- marily to carry crude oil from

Caribbean ports to Exxon's U.S. refineries. The vessel's cargo tanks, equipped with heating coils and integrated piping, have the capability of transporting up to four grades of fuel oil.

The 805.1-foot-long Esso Mex- ico incorporates the latest tech- nology to assure high operating efficiency and maximum safety.

Recently completed trials showed a 30 percent total fuel consump- tion improvement over conven- tional tankers of similar size and speed.

Major fuel efficiency features include a direct drive, long-stroke slow-speed B&W / Hitachi 6L90

GFCA diesel engine. The engine is designed to operate on heavy fuel oil, significantly reducing fuel consumption. The engine pro- duces 17,100 hp and a service speed of 15 knots.

Also incorporated is a Mitsui integrated duct, located forward of the propeller, which uniformly directs flow to the propeller in- creasing propulsion efficiency.

Exxon has retrofitted the duct on its existing tankers with good
