Fourth Canadian Shipbuilding
And Offshore Exhibition (CSOE)
Included With CMIA In 1989
The 41st Annual Technical Conference of the
Canadian Maritime Industries Association (CMIA) (formerly the Canadian Shipbuilding and Ship Repairing Association) to be held at
Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel, February 20 and 21, 1989, will include the fourth Canadian
Shipbuilding and Offshore Exhibition (CSOE),
CMIA president Jim Clarke recently an- nounced.
CSOE '89 will give exhibitors an opportunity to display or explain their goods and services at the largest technical marine conference in Cana- da. Exhibitions such as CSOE '89 help bring together all interested parties in the marine industry. CSOE has developed into a major component of the technical conference.
The CSOE '89 exhibition will be located on the convention floor opposite the technical con- ference meeting rooms. Exhibition hours will be 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, February 20, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. the following day.
Hitachi Zosen Delivers 755-Foot Containership
The Yamaaki Maru, powered by a Hitachi Zosen B&W die- sel engine with a maximum continuous output of 32,310 horsepower by 88 rpm, achieved a maximum trial speed of 25.315 knots.
Hitachi Zosen Corporation's Ariake Works recently completed the containership Yamaaki
Maru and delivered it the same day to its owner,
Palace Container Shipping Corporation.
The ultramodern Yamaaki Maru, approxi- mately 755 feet long, 104.9 feet wide and 70.5 feet in depth, is capable of carrying 2,832 TEU containers and 249 forty-foot air-cooled refriger- ation containers in four tiers on deck. A specially designed bulbous bow is adopted to save fuel costs, while a stern bulb is fitted to reduce hull vibrations.
The main engine is a Hitachi Zosen B&W 9L80MC diesel, the most advanced of its type.
Navigation equipment includes automatic radar plotting aids (ARPA) and a satellite navigation system.

Rotary Vane Steering Systems
High performance steering for control and maneuverability when you need it most.
Wagner Rotary Vane Steering provides precise, dependable rudder control. These compact, efficient steering systems are proven performers in applications demanding high torque ratings in a small package.
The compact size, rugged design, and low inertia make the rotary vane suitable for high performance applications where
I'asi response to steering controls is needed.
Smaller than rapson slide or cylindcr-and-tiller steering systems hav ing comparable torque ratings, the Wagner rotary vane actuator conserves space and allows the designer greater utilization of available hull and deck areas. The Wagner rotary vane typically requires only 2()'< of the deck area of equivalent rated cylinder-and tiller system; and only I4'( of the area of an equivalent rated rapson slide actuator.
