Blohm + Voss Shortens Sea-Land Ships, Gels QE2

A technically demanding con- tract was signed by Blohm + Voss in

March, a contract which calls for the shortening of three Sea-Land

Atlantic Class Vessels (ACV), the

Galveston Bay, Sea-Land Value and

Raleigh Bay (see photo, page 25).

Each of the ships are being short- ened by three midship sections, and more importantly, are being given a new, streamlined bow structure.

With the help of Hamburg Ship- building Research Institute (HSVA), which was involved in the hydrodynamic calculations and planning of the work, the design will make each ship three knots faster, raising the speed from 18 to 21 knots.

The additional speed will also be the result of an additional 4,000 kW of power provided to the propeller shaft, power supplied by a diesel generator and to the drive train via an electric motor and a gear coupled to the propeller shaft.

Blohm + Voss recently won an- other high-profile contract of late, tapped by Cunard Line to renew and modernize the QE2.

Expected to be in the yard from

November 20 to December 14, the renewal will total around $45 mil- lion for the yard.

On the newbuild side, Blohm +

Voss has dedicated considerable at- tention to the fast transport mar- ket, with SES and Fast Monohull designs.

Particular effort has gone to mak- ing these designs more efficient and stable than the many competitors currently on the market.

Injection Pump & Valve

Technology On Display

L'ORANGE, with a representa- tive cross-section of its most impor- tant high-pressure injection pump and valve designs, will provide in- formation on the latest develop- ments in the field of fuel injection technology at SMM '94. L'Orange also develops injection systems de- signed to meet specific require- ments, including pilot injection and dual fuel systems. In its effort to provide injection systems with ex- acting requirements, L'Orange uses the latest technological tools in the development phase, including simu- lation models and CAD; as well as the employment of advanced mea- suring techniques during the devel- opment and test phases. In Ham- burg, L'Orange will show spare parts for the injection systems of the most reputable engine manufacturers, as

STN-ATLAS ELEKTRONIK, the two leading Bremer Vulkan compa- nies which are in the course of merg- ing their respective interests, will well as testing and assembly equip- ment for injection system service and repair purposes.

Merging Interests feature a new concept in ship auto- mation, the Ship Control Center, at

SMM '94. The system functionally integrates navigation, engine con- trol and communications functions as part of a single package solution for ships' bridges, covering all sup- ply, installation and servicing re- quirements. The concept incorpo- rates the Atlas NACOS series of navigation command systems.

Hydrographic survey exhibits include recent extensions to the

Atlas DESO series of echosounders, as well as the Hydromap system for processing, display and manage- ment of bathymetric data and pro- duction of charts.
