Ship Analytics Full

Mission Shiphandling

Simulator Selected

The Port of Singapore recently awarded a $10 million contract to British Aerospace Simu- lation, Ltd. and Ship Analytics to supply a Full

Mission Shiphandling Simulator(FMSS). The simulator will fulfill the needs of the PSA in a wide variety of training programs for marine personnel, together with providing valuable research facilities for the future management and development for the port.

The simulator will consist of a replica of a ship's bridge, including IMO-Compliant ARPA/

Radar, navigational aids, engine vibration and aural sounds and a visual projection system presenting a full color computer generated visual scene over a 240 degree field of view.

A separate Tugboat/Ownship Station Simu- lator with features similar to the ship's bridge, can be used as a "standalone" training system as well as operate in an "integrated" two-ship mode with the ship's bridge.

Extensive monitoring and tug control facili- ties will be provided to enable the instructional staff to manage and control a wide range of exercises in collision avoidance, navigation, pilotage, and berthing. A complete classroom with monitoring, debriefing, and feedback ca- pabilities will serve to maintain high levels of training effectiveness.

A full Research and Development/Data In- put Station facility will be provided to enable not only the preparation of the exercises/data- bases, but also the necessary software tools and equipment to undertake research programs into Port Management and other investigatory assignments.

The FMSS project schedule calls for comple- tion of installation and site testing of the full system by January 1993. Early delivery of the Research and Development/Data Input

Station will allow simulation training and research work to commence in January 1992.

MAN B&W Holeby

Enters Agreement With Niigata

Engineering

MAN B&W Diesel A/S, Holeby, recently entered into a manufacturing agreement with

Niigata Engineering Co., one of the largest 4- stroke engine manufacturers in Japan, pri- marily supplying engines to the propulsion and stationary markets.

By co-operating with Niigata, Holeby Die- sel will play an increasing role in the market for HFO GenSets in Japan. In addition, in

October 1990, a department was established in MAN B&W Diesel's office to provide com- plete customer support in Japan.

This agreement eliminates the need to transport GenSets from Holeby to Japan.

The agreement will cover the manufacture of the GenSets. Holeby will be responsible for the contractual aspects, and Niigata will be responsible for the production, testing, trans- port, and final commissioning at the yard.

After the vessel has left the yard, the MAN

B&W Diesel A/S world-wide service network will take over as if the engines were produced in Holeby.

The new waste water treatment facility at Bourg Dry Dock &

Service, Bourg, La., handles oil waste waters at a rate of 300 gpm.

Bourg Dry Dock Adds

Treatment Facility

For Waste Water

Bourg Dry Dock & Service of Bourg, La., has recently completed the construction of a waste water treatment facility at its shipyard on the

Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West, Mile Marker 49.

Originally conceived for "in-house" use, the treatment facility can handle waste water at a rate of nearly 300 gpm.

The facility can not only treat oil waste waters generated by the shipyard, but also from a variety of other generators—wash waters from ships, tank cleaning operations, and other ship- yards.

Bourg Dry Dock's waste water treatment fa- cility is a "thru-system," (meaning the water can be discharged after treatment) with a large amount of tankage utilizing two 10,000-barrel hopper barges.

One entire barge is used as a gravity separa- tor for the primary separation and removal of oils and solids from the waste water. A series of corrugated baffles were installed to aid in this process.

The water is then transferred to the second barge. The second barge serves as a bio-treat- ment facility, where any residual hydrocarbons that may remain in the water are degraded down to acceptable discharge levels. This degra- dation is the result of a bacterial attack upon the hydrocarbons that actually reduces the hydro- carbons into carbon dioxide and water. The water is then clarified, tested, and discharged.

This system allows the facility to treat most oily type waste waters. And, the volume capa- bilities are especially suited to oily waters that are recovered during oil spill clean up opera- tions or other high volume generators.

The plant's location next to a major water- way also allows for bulk transportation by barge to the facility.

Since lab analysis is crucial in monitoring several stages of the treatment operation, as well as the effluent quality, Bourg also built a laboratory at the treatment facility.
