Wartsila Vasa 20

Engines Chosen For

German Container Ships

Daewoo Shipbuilding & Heavy

Machinery Ltd. of South Korea has ordered six Wartsila Vasa 20 auxil- iary engines for two container ships to be built for Norddeutsche

Vermogen (NVA) Hamburg. Each ship will include three Vasa 6R20's driving alternators of 860 kW/900 rpm.

The auxiliary engines are speci- fied to operate, from start to stop, on heavy fuel oil up to 600 cSt, which is the same fuel as that for the main engines.

The engines will be supplied by the Wartsila Diesel factory in Vaasa,

Finland, in June 1993 to meet the delivery time of the ships in Janu- ary and early February 1994.

The choice of the Vasa 6R20 was reportedly based on the shipowner's long satisfactory experience with

Wartsila Vasa auxiliary engines operated on heavy fuel oil onboard a large number of ships.

The Wartsila Vasa 20 engine rep- resents the latest medium speed engine technology and includes sev- eral new innovations to secure long service life time, low fuel oil con- sumption and easy maintenance.

Competitiveness for the Wartsila

Vasa 20 engine is assured by using the latest production technology at the Wartsila Diesel factory in Vaasa.

MSI Publication Describes

New Concepts In

Marine Simulator Training

Technology update, training in- centives and proficiency certifica- tion are among the innovative con- cepts described in a new publication issued by MarineSafety Interna- tional (MSI). The new six-page docu- ment outlines the objectives and coverage of over two dozen simula- tor-based courses which have been developed for deck officers and pi- lots, ship's engineers and Vessel

Traffic Service (VTS) personnel.

The training is available at MSI's simulation centers at Kings Point,

N.Y., Newport, R.I., and, in Septem- ber, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The new approaches described are based on lessons learned from MSI's parent corporation, FlightSafety

International, a leader in aircraft pilot training.

MSI will award a proficiency card to officers who have demonstrated their ability to control a large ship in a crowded harbor or waterway. The award will be based on a carefully structured course sponsored by the officer's company. Dr. Eugene

Guest, MSI's director said, "The ul- timate purpose of this program is to provide a set of standards through which an individual pilot or ship's officer or employer can determine and document professional profi- ciency." MSI is backing up their

ProCard™ with a free simulator analysis of any shiphandling inci- dent in which the holder is involved and a fifteen percent discount on refresher training.

Other features described in the

MSI publication are technology up- dates which are provided with each course and optional proficiency check points for self-evaluation. Many of

MSI's courses have been approved by the U.S. Coast Guard for seatime equivalency. 142 Circle 194 on Reader Service Card Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
