New engineering composite materials, nitrile rubber developments, performance efficiencies and application guidelines for water lubricated rubber bearings is the subject of a concise tech- nical paper written by John M. Foulk, presi- dent of Lucian Q. Moffitt, Inc., a subsidiary of

B.F. Goodrich. It was presented recently to the

Gulf Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.

Traditional brass shell materials are also discussed. The paper covers lubrication, shaft care, shaft bearing clearances, load deflection characteristics and installation procedures.

New Hull Cleaning System

Brochure Offered By

VEB Kombinat Schiffbau

VEB Kombinat Schiffbau hull-cleaning system in operation.

The hydraulically operated hull cleaning sys- tem manufactured by VEB Kombinat Schiffbau of the German Democratic Republic permits shell plating to be cleaned, derusted, painted and repaired while the ship is in dock. The advantages to the shipyard are: a reduction in manpower; vessel spends less time in dock; existing dock cranes need not be used for clean- ing or painting; eliminates scaffolding and bot- tom of the dock remains free from obstructions; and healthier environment when derusting due to application of closed circuit wire shot blasting system.

The system enables the hull to be cleaned down to the bare metal, improving the durabili- ty of the paintwork and keeping the drydock time to a minimum. It offers the vessel owner substantial fuel savings and minimum down- time.

Hull Built By Wdrtsild-Turku

Will Be Outfitted By Moss Yard

Shuttle tanker of 127,000 dwt is cooperative venture of

Wartsiia's Turku yard in Finland, which built the hull and installed WSrtsiia/M.A.N.-B&W main engines, and Fredrik- stad yard of Moss in Norway, which will complete ship with accommodations and outfitting.

The biggest hull ever built by Wartsila was delivered recently to its purchaser, the Norwe- gian Moss Fredrikstad Verft. This project is a unique example of how shipyards in two differ- ent countries can carry out a cooperative build- ing venture. The Turku yard constructed the hull and installed the main engines; the Moss yard will complete the outfitting and accommo- dations. The hull left the Finnish yard for delivery to Norway accompanied by five tug- boats.

When completed this 127,000-dwt shuttle tanker will carry crude oil from North Sea fields to shoreside terminals. The ship will have an overall length of 843.2 feet, beam of 150.9 feet, and draft of 52.5 feet. Main propulsion will be provided by two Wartsila/M.A.N.-B&W diesels, each with an output of 9,760 bhp at 95 rpm.
