The British naval architecture firm of Burness Corlett through their Sydney, Australia, office have joined with Seaworthy Systems of

Essex, Conn., to produce an engi- neering package for shipyards wishing to bid on the U.S. Army

Logistic Support Vessel Program.

Under the RFP the LSV must be based on an existing design and the Sydney office of Burness Cor- lett has designed a similar vessel,

Seminar Marks Opening

Of Wartsila Office In

Vancouver, B.C., Canada

To mark the opening of a branch office in Vancouver, British Co- lumbia, Wartsila, Finland's lead- ing company in Arctic technology, held a one-day seminar of scien- tists and experts from Canada and the United States at the Hyatt Re- gency Hotel in Vancouver. Wart- sila Arctic Inc. (WAI) invited some 80 experts in Arctic technology to provide a fresh outlook on the problems and prospects for the fur- ther development of the world's

Arctic regions.

The world's leading builder of

Arctic vessels, Wartsila decided to open the Vancouver branch office so that Canadian and American energy interests can be assisted by

Finnish technology.

WAI now offers a variety of services in the field of Arctic ma- rine technology, including design, feasibility studies, project man- agement, ship and model testing, etc. The company believes, espe- cially in regard to project manage- ment, it will be beneficial for the customer to have the entire project under one "umbrella." Wartsila's background as a designer and builder of Arctic ships should be very suitable for such projects.

For a number of years Wartsila has been promoting its Arctic ma- rine technology products in North

America, and now believes that a permanent presence on the Conti- nent is timely. New solutions are now needed in offshore work in the Arctic, which the Finnish com- pany is well qualified to research and meet.

Wartsila president Tor Stolpe, who came to Vancouver for the in- auguration and who addressed the the Frances Bay, built in 1981.

Under the joint B-C/Seaworthy ef- fort, B-C has reconfigured the

Frances Bay to an LSV as shown in the above profile, and Seawor- thy has redesigned machinery and related systems to USCG and ABS standards.

The proposed vessel has an LBP of 246 feet, a beam of 60 feet, with an operating draft of 12 feet. seminar, said: "The development of energy resources in both the Ca- nadian and U.S. Arctic will take place, exploration is well under way, production partly so, and it is in the field we believe we Finns have something to offer. The mar- ket is there both for software and hardware, the timing is still in doubt, but we usually take a long- term view on our projects."

Because all of Finland's harbors are covered by ice part of the year, the Finns have historically pi- oneered research and development in icebreaking techniques. This explains why a nation of only 4.8 million people is so well placed to interest Canadian and American customers in both its hardware and software concerned with ice- breaking. These icebreaking tech- niques are backed up by a unique

Arctic Research Centre in Hel- sinki, owned and operated by

Wartsila.

As the world's leading builder of icebreaking tonnage, Wartsila has constructed, or has on order, more than 70 icebreakers and icebreak- ing merchant vessels. The com- pany's production also includes offshore vessels, supply ships, div- ing support vessels, crewboats, dredges, and crane vessels as well as air cushion vehicles specially designed for Arctic areas.

WAI already serves Canadian and U.S. clients in Arctic technol- ogy, including oil companies, off- shore operating companies, ship- yards, government institutions, and consulting engineering firms, but the company is looking for an even greater client list as it continues to expand its international activ- ities.
