High-Speed Supermaran Ferry

Marine Hawk Enters Service

The 280 passenger catamaran ferry Marine Hawk showing its high speed capability.

The Mitsui Supermaran CP30 type Marine

Hawk was recently delivered at the Tamano

Works of Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding

Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan, to her joint owners,

The Maritime Credit Corporation and Nankai

Ferry Co., Ltd. She is a catamaran type high- speed passenger vessel built of light alloy, and is now engaged in domestic regular passenger service.

The Mitsui Supermaran, having a unique catamaran hull form completely different from conventional catamarans, is a very economi- cal seaworthy passenger boat, with excellent high-speed performance.

All seats are on the upper deck to give pas- sengers an extensive view through large win- dows and one meter between each row of seats for ample leg room. It is fully air conditioned and comparatively free from noise and vibra- tion, allowing the passengers an enjoyable and comfortable ride.

Design and construction of the Mitsui Su- permaran CP30 type was based on MES's ex- perience in high-speed vessel design including

Hovercraft and semi-submerged catamarans.

Fuel Consumption Measurement /

Cuts Ship Operating Costs —Free Literature Available

A British engineering company, Plint and

Partners Limited, England have made exten- sive trials of a high precision fuel consump- tion measurement system. The product has the backing of the Department of Industry who placed pre-production orders for the system.

The marine gauge has been designed to be insensitive to ships' motion. The gauge weighs the fuel consumed by the engine over meas- ured times. It therefore does not need correc- tions for changes in temperature and viscosity of the metered fluid.

The development program, prior to instal- lation onboard ship, included long periods of operation on 3,000 second residual oil at op- eration temperatures of up to 135°C.

The Plint system has the ability to make an accurate measurement of fuel consumption automatically every four minutes (or a longer time increment depending on requirements).

The results show how power requirements are affected by differing factors such as weather conditions, water depth, loading and trim, hull and propeller condition, fuel properties, engine condition and the state of the trans- mission. A detailed explanation of the system, along with flow diagrams, curves and charts is available in a booklet entitled "Marine Fuel

Consumption Measurement System." For your free copy,
