Center For Advanced Ship

Repair And Maintenance

Opens In Norfolk

Old Dominion University,

Virginia's Center for Innovative

Technology (CIT), the city of Nor- folk and the South Tidewater Asso- ciation of Ship Repairers (STASR) formed the Center for Advanced Ship

Repair and Maintenance (CASRM) to develop and implement techno- logical processes to reduce the cost of various ship repairs and give lo- cal yards an edge in the global mar- ket. Thomas J. Fox, formerly di- rector of Industrial Programs in Old

Dominion's College of Engineering and Technology, will head CASRM.

The center has received a two- year $1.05 million federal grant from the Technology Reinvestment Pro- gram administered by the Office of

Naval Research. Initial research projects will focus on developing three technologies: improved pro- cesses to replace paint on ship hulls, stormwater runoff associated with the use of drydocks and methods to inhibit the biofouling of saltwater intakes.
