11:00 am—"From Cruiser Car

Ferries to Cargo-Carrying Cruis- ers," by Markku M. Ranin

This paper presents a chronologi- cal viewpoint of the car ferries/ passenger ferry services seen in the

European marine service. The old, open-air, no-seating, uncomfortable open sea services are compared with the current level of luxury enjoyed by 6.5 million passengers annually in the ferry service between Finland and Sweden. 2:00 pm—"Determination of Car- go Damage Risk in Barge Collisions

Using a Generalized Minorsky Mod- el and Monte Carlo Methods," by

Glenn Bauer, David L. Gray, and Bruce L. Hutchison

This paper presents a generaliza- tion of the Minorsky one-dimen- sional relationship of energy ab- sorbed and structural damage in ship collisions, developed further by the inclusions of Jones and Van

Mater to account for structural re- sistance up to the point of failure.

The resulting model is used to ana- lyze 12,500 randomly generated col- lision scenarios with a time domain simulation computer program. The results of the analysis are then com- pared with radioactive material (RAM) cash capabilities in order to

Icebreaking Ships," by Henry

Vaughan

The design consideration of the hull stresses and loadings due to the initial impulse of ramming ice, and the sagging conditions that exist while the icebreaker is enduring the "beaching phase" of riding up on the ice are discussed. The author investigates both effects analytical- ly and establishes bounds of magni- tude for the establishment of pre- liminary design rules not available from finite element analysis.

Mt. Bachelor Room 9:00 am—"Reliability and Human

Factors in Marine Engineering Sys- tems," by Howard C. Blanding

This paper will discuss marine engineering and industrial systems common to the offshore industry and the application of reliability en- gineering to such systems. Special attention is given to personal safety, environmental protection, and eco- nomic viability. 10:00 am—"A Guide for Ship

Structural Inspections," by Nedret

S. Basar and Victor W. Jovino

It has been found that a need exists for the development of a (continued)

High-Quality Components for Marine Applications

Shown are only a few of the hundreds of high-quolity marine products available from a single source.

Designed for a range of shipboard or offshore applications.

Pressure

Switches

Broad choice of electromechanical or solid-state switches to provide shipwide pressure control Included are diaphragm, bourdon tube and sealed piston types: many are explosion-proof

Unique

Sounding

Tape Ullage

Indicator

Self-contained battery-powered unit is convenient to use in shipboard and offshore tanks.

Pressure Transmitters and Transducers swti'i

A group of lightweight transmitters and transducers are ideal for monitoring the mechanical health' of shipboard machinery and systems and for gauging tank contents. Included are signal con- ditioned models and vibration versions for monitoring rotating machinery

Single or Multi-Station

Level J

Switches

Ruggedly built for use in liquids from crude to chemicals

Broad choice includes single station with slosh shielding, oil/water inter- face models, externally mounted styles where access is limited, and multi-station units with up to six stations spaced to suit

SureSite Liquid Level

Indicators

Bi-colored, interlocking magnetic Hags change ' color as float moves with changing liquid levels

Meet requirements of

MIL-I-20037B for ndirect reading sight glasses. Withstand shock and vibration.

Unlike cloudy, break- £ 1 able sight glasses.

T

Indicators are highly visible, accurate and safe. Used with water, oil, or corrosive, flammable or explosive liquids. m^i | J i

Temperature

Switches

Local mount or remote bulb and capillary switches provide accurate, high-stability temperature control. Idea for sensing engine mani- fold, lube oil and ventilation ducts, salt and fresh water cooling

Pumps

Axial Multi-Rotor screw pumps are designed for ube and fuel oil service, fuel transfer and hydraulic service on

Naval combatant ships and auxiliary vessels.

Flow rates to 1250 GPM and pressures to 3000

PSIG with the lowest noise levels available.
