MARINE FUELS, LUBRICANTS & ADDITIVES information packets are designed to assist the bunker purchaser and ships staff so that accurate bunker calcula- tions are performed. Its software, the

Shell Bunkercalc C gives specific ener- gy calculations based on density, sulfur, water and ash levels of fuel. It also rates the ignition performance of fuels, vis- cosity/temperature conversion, and gives other blending calculations.

Along with this new addition, another expert system the "SEAFUEL," a soft- ware package that combines the exper- tise of Shell's Group Research, Devel- opment and Analytical divisions, to obtain information and advice on stor- age, handling and pre-treatment of marine residual fuels. The user-friendly system can be accessed by personnel ashore or aboard.

BP Marine Sponsors

C&W Network

BP Marine, a leading supplier of fuels and lubricants to the world's shipping industry, technically sponsored the

Cable Wireless Adventure, an attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days.

The 26,000-mile, 15 port journey was to be completed in under 75 days by the

Cable & Wireless Adventurer, a 115 ft. (35 m) stabilized mono-hulled power- boat. The vessel was made from the lat- est composite glass reinforced poly- mer/foam sandwich construction com- plete with the newest navigation and communications equipment. BP Marine and Cummins Marine worked alongside the project team chosen to construct the boat to develop a complete lubrication package and refueling schedule for the vessel, they also provided the two 8.3 liter turbo engines. BP monitored en route product performance by way of its

Enercare Used Oil Analysis service.

ALGAE-X Upgrade Gets

Positive Lab Results

After receiving a sample of fuel from the Naval Surface Warfare Center filled with black agglomerations, and bacteri- al and fungal growth, ALGAE-X was assigned the task of testing its upgraded and reengineered system. Before run- ning the sample through their fuel con- ditioning system, a part of the initial sample was sent to Analyst Inc. for a fuel analysis. The remaining fuel was then pumped through the companies

MMI 1245-4 Diesel Fuel Polishing Sys- tem and the upgraded ALGAE-X Unit.

The first sample contained heavy fungal and slight bacterial growth, and a combina- tion of contaminants. The second sample underwent two hours of circulation in the

ALGAE's total filtration solution and showed negative bacterial and fungal growth, with no sign of microiganisms and restoration in the fuel's color.
