Marine Engineering

CAD/CAM Seminar To

Coincide With SMM

There will be a CAD/CAM semi- nar held September 28 and 29 in the Netherlands for shipbuilders and ship designers. The event is timed so that visitors to the SMM exhibition in Hamburg, Germany the next week can combine events and make efficient use of interna- tional travel.

The seminar will focus on the

Windows-based MasterSHIP

CAD/CAM software, a system which is fully integrated with

AutoCAD and used by several shipyards in Europe, Asia and the

U.S. The seminar will be struc- tured to maximize the amount of information covered, and will include fairing of 3-D lines plans, construction drawing in 2-D and 3-

D, lofting and preparation for NC cutting, as well as a discussion on the integration of the ship engi- neering process and CAD tools.

On display will be the system's lat- est timesaving modules for auto- matic nesting and parametric drawing.

The seminar will shift on day two to on-site visits to two ship- yards and a cutting center, so that visitors can see the CAD/CAM sys- tem in operation.

The seminar is organized by

Yachting Consult, the Dutch spe- cialist in CAD/CAM software and engineering, and will be given in

Eindhoven, the Netherlands. For information and registration, con- tact Yachting Consult's Mimi Pang at fax: +31 40 244 61 37; or e-mail: [email protected].

BMI Storms Back Into

Repair Business

Baltimore Marine Industries (BMI) is enjoying a busy year with a full orderbook extending through the autumn. Seventeen commer- cial ships drydocked at BMI dur- ing the first half of 1998 with an additional nine ships undergoing afloat repairs. BMI currently has five ships in the yard and has firm bookings for three additional ships including two cruise ships.

Since beginning operations in

October 1997, BMI (formerly

BethShip) has docked 25 ships and completed afloat repairs on 11 ships. One of the yard's more interesting current jobs is the re- activation of LNGCC Matthew after 17 years of lay up. The seven-month upgrade and re-acti- vation for Cabot LNG Carriers will include a wide variety of work, including the prepping and coating of all exterior surfaces.
