MAN B&W Engines To

Power Four Singapore

Newbuilds

Four 650-TEU feeder container- ships to be built by Jurong

Shipyard Ltd., in Singapore, will be powered by MAN B&W Diesel 7S42MC low speed engines.

According to the engine supplier, this order consolidates the success already achieved by the small bore, low speed MAN B&W engines in Singapore.

Merits of the low speed, MC engine technology and advantages of installing a two-stroke engine include: more cargo space due to a shorter complete propulsion sys- tem; and no need for reduction gear. Two of the recently contract- ed engines are scheduled for deliv- ery in April 1997; and the two oth- ers will follow in June of the same year. MAN B&W reported that these orders bring the total of MC engines ordered by Singapore yards in recent years to 19.

Detroit Diesel Acquires

Australian Assets

In late July, the Detroit Diesel

Corporation announced that a newly-formed affiliate, Detroit

Diesel-Allison Australia Pty Ltd., acquired the assets of Rexam pic's

Australian Detco operation.

Detroit Diesel-Allison Australia is now the Australian distributor for

Detroit Diesel, MTU, Perkins

Engines, Electro-Motive Diesel and Allison Transmission products.

It distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, heavy- duty automatic and hauling trans- missions and replacement parts in the marine, on-highway, mining, power generation and agricultural markets. Detroit Diesel-Allison

Australia is reportedly the largest engine and transmission distribu- tor in Australia. "This acquisition is a strategic step forward in continuing to pro-

UAufode.sk. o you were surprised to get the entire design package so fast! That's because you haven't visited our offices recently. Our Autoship systems have speeded up our work - and they let us use all of our knowledge, experience and creativity to develop the design that hest meets the needs.

How do we do it now?

Once we've optimized the ship numerically, we design the hull form in Autoship. It's a full NURBS-based 3-D modeling program and it's automatically faired.

Throughout, we can check hydrostatics and resistance on-line with Autopower. That saves us a lot of time, and we use it to look for extra speed.

Next, we define all the tanks and compartments in Autohydro. Calculating volumes and balancing the ship is easy and quick, so we can spend more time to optimize the layout.

We define the structural members in Autobuild; the program automatically checks for interference and generates a bill of materials and a complete list of weights. That eliminates manual drafting, saves the yard manhours, and reduces the usual worry about weight.

To save even more, we can export directly to NC cutting machines, radically reducing lofting and nesting costs.

Yes, all these programs come from the same place - Autoship Systems, the world's largest developer of Windows™-based marine software. With Autoship, the entire design process, from concept to cut plates, is a smooth, seamless flow.

Autoship helps us produce better designs, faster, with lower construction costs... benefits you appreciate, and our competitive edge!

Gain the competitive edge!
