Marine "Black Boxes" to the

Forefront

Recorder is designed to meet the requirements of IMO Resolution A.861(20) and provides a record of shipboard infor- mation which can be retrieved in the case of a maritime acci- dent. The infor- mation is collect- ed from a variety of onboard sen- sors and written as data on two duplicate

Magneto-

Optical disks.

One disk can be exchanged on a regular basis to provide the shipowner with archived logs of vessel movements, while the second is housed in a sealed capsule, designed to withstand deepwater submer- sion and fire while maintaining data integrity.

Cylinder unit room staff, MAN B&W has introduced an

Exchange Service designed to smooth reg- ular service of the company's engines. Exchange Service is based on the replacement of used units during a major overhaul with renovated units. The replaced units are simply returned in the same packages as those used to transport the renovated unit, helping to minimize onboard work. In principle, all parts of the engine are addressed by the concept, but the following components are purpose- designed to benefit: cylinder units (includ- ing the complete cylinder head, piston, liner, connecting rod and fuel injection valve); turbocharger; injection pumps, HT and LT cooling water pumps; and lubricat- ing oil pump.

PropacRudder Arranyemert \mproves

Efficiency 5%

The new PropacRudder horn mrtstla NSD is touted as being percent more efficient.

A new product from Wartsila NSD is the PropaJ a so-called semi-balanced horn rudder, whose acteristic is a streamlined torpedo bolted to horn. The streamlined torpedo is designed more homogenous water flow both in front peller and in the propeller slipstream, whicl gives an increased operational efficiency of fi^ cent. The better efficiency offers many obv tages, including the ability to operate a veJ speed but at lower engine output, helping tof sions and fuel costs. The PropacRudde/ many arrangements, according to its m/ greatest gain will reportedly be seen on gle-screw vessels.
