tem is a significant technological breakthrough to help create the ships of the 21st century and evalu- ate existing vessels using both en- gineering-first principles and the experience embodied in the tradi- tional ABS Rules. With the ABS

SafeHull system, designers can readily quantify the loads and stresses in a ship's structure in a comprehensive, integrated, realis- tic way. ABS SafeHull is a complete system that includes the newly for- mulated strength criteria and a fully supported software package for use

Dn personal computers or engineer- ing work stations. The system is being offered to meet the needs of designers, builders, owners and jperators.

Our Diesel youngsteiJ, 32/40

M lili'

The youngest offspring to emerge from the birthplace of the cente- narian Diesel engine in Augsburg answers to the name of "Thirty- two-forty" with a power range of 2 600 - 4 000 kW at 720/750 rpm.

Diesel Technology in Progress

That the well-known MAN B&W qualities such as reliability, eco- nomy, heavy fuel compatibility and ease of maintenance have been further improved can be taken for granted. But an engine whose life expectancy reaches well into the next millenium must also shoul- der a particular responsibility for the environment. That's why MAN

B&W have designed their new engine with a twin camshaft. This configuration enables the fuel injection and charge renewal processes to be controlled inde- pendently, resulting in:

MAN B&W Diesel, Stadtbachstr. 1, D-86153 Augsburg, Telephone (-821) 3220 • optimum, load-sensitive adap- tation of the valve timing and thus clean, low-emission combustion even in the lower load range, • minimized fuel comsumption rate at all times, even with varying fuel grades.

The new MAN B&W engine 32/40 - the leading edge of Diesel engi- neering - a prime mover born of ecological concern.
