Germanischer Lloyd Offers

Amended Construction

Rules Program

The international classification society Germanischer Lloyd has amended its widely used GL-Rules program to reflect further develop- ment of the rules. The new version 2.0 of the program contains Regula- tions for Dimensioning from Chap- ter 2 of the "Rules for the Construc- tion of Ship Hulls" contained in

Volume 1 of "Germanischer Lloyd

Rules for Classification and Con- struction of Steel Hulls for Seagoing

Vessels." In addition to small amendments, the new program con- tains an improved user's guide, and addendum No. 2 of January 1989 has been incorporated.

The program replaces version 1.3 and earlier versions and will be dis- tributed free of charge to current users. As before, it is available for use with various computers. Howev- er, it is most frequently applied with standard PCs with hard disk and 640 KByte internal memory, or desk-top computers HP9000, series 200 or 300. Computers of the older

HP9845 version are no longer sup- ported. Users of this system may obtain a different version of the pro- gram free of charge, upon request.

The license fee for new users is DM 2,000.

Consolidated Switchgear

Established From Old 'Con-Select' Organization

Consolidated Switchgear, Inc. of

Madisonville, La., is now in its sec- ond year of operation. Consolidated was established by a core group of management and production people from the old "Con-Select" organiza- tion of Harvey, La., and Beaumont,

Texas, to provide quality, cost- effective electrical equipment and services for the marine industry.

Consolidated Switchgear Inc. is fully qualified for, and experienced in, handling all aspects of the most complex marine electrical installa- tion from conception through start- up. This system capability includes all, or any portion of the following essential elements of marine electri- cal installation: 1. Pre-design concept studies, in- cluding feasibility studies, carried out with the owners or their naval architects and marine engineers for the entire electrical and electronic system. 2. Preparation of bid or purchase specifications and guidance plans for the owner, carefully coordinated with hull and mechanical design by others, in full accordance with any worldwide regulatory body or classi- fication agency requirements. 3. Development of final ships electrical wiring drawings for the shipyard in accordance with owners specifications and/or guidance plans in full accordance with any specified regulatory body or classification agency. 4. Electrical project management for the owner including complete coordination and interface with all electrical and/or electro-mechanical equipment manufacturers or sup- pliers. In this capacity Consolidated reviews all submittals from such suppliers and makes inspection vis- its, when required, to shipyards and suppliers' plants to assure quality and conformance to specifications.

In this capacity Consolidated usual- ly supplies accurate terminal to ter- minal interface drawings and guid- ance plans as required. 5. Turn-key electrical system in- stallations for shipyards. In this ca- pacity Consolidated can offer ship- yards, without sophisticated electri- cal design and installation capabili- ty, a turn-key electrical system in- cluding electricians labor and wiring materials. As the designer and sup- plier of major equipment such as switchboards, panels and motor controllers, etc., the suitability of all equipment for the purpose is vir- tually guaranteed. 6. As the major electrical equip- ment supplier, either to the owner or the shipyard, Consolidated can supply a complete coordinated package. Consolidated either manu- facturers the equipment or fur- nishes equipment manufactured by others at attractive prices due to their volume buying power as a dis- tributor.
