Albacore Research Ltd.

Albacore Research Ltd. develops PC-based software for ship manufacturing. Recently

ARL has announced the addition of CAD-Link, a shipbuilding software product designed to provide shipbuilders with an easy-to-use and powerful ship production program to create and manage the drawings required in ship- building.

The program runs with AutoCAS R13 for

Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT. ARL has also recently released ShipCAM96, a fair- ing and lofting program that provides capabili- ties for compound curvature and developable plate expansion, generating shell expansion drawings, inverse bending curve frames and longitudinals from stock profile without form- ing templates, generating pin jig assemblies, and calculating weights and centers of gravity.

In addition, it provides frame and surface loft- ing functions and a geometry editor with fea- tures for: trimming, intersecting, and offset- ting surfaces; generating a variety of cambered deck surfaces; filleting between two surfaces; and projecting lines onto surfaces.

ShipCAM96 is compatible with ShipCAM4 and data imports from all ship design software and integrates with all major CAD systems using the DXF exchange format.

ARL now includes bevel cutting capabilities for its advanced NC code generation program,

Allied Shipbuilders Ltd.

Allied Shipbuilders Ltd., a family-run shipbuilding, ship repair and ship design firm located on the north shore of

Vancouver Harbour, delivered the

Skeena Queen, a 110-m, 100-vehicle,

Century Class Ferry for B.C. Ferries in

March, 1997.

Malcolm McLaren, contracts man- ager at Allied, said the U.S. $15 million ferry contract was the largest and most valuable single project completed by the shipyard in a decade.

The Century Class Ferry has a unique hull shape which minimizes wave-mak- ing, enhances sideways performance and enables reasonable transit speed at rela- tively low power.
