Investment in Design •-M program drawing in extensive European and U.S. participation will provide an important conduit for service results with pod systems. Called Pods in Ser- vice. and coordinated by the Dutch Mar- itime Research Institute MARIN, the project is intended to assess and evaluate the reliability and integrity of podded propulsors under operational conditions.

In measuring performance, loads encountered by pods and the dynamic response of the pods and the vessel hull throughout the ship's service pattern, including extreme conditions, a key objective is to provide a method for determining and reflecting such loads at the design stage. The breadth of ascrip- tion by shipowners, yards, pod manufac- turers and classification societies and other bodies to the joint industry project militates in favor of a productive exchange of knowledge and experience.

There are 24 partners in total. The prag- matic nature of the endeavor is under- scored by the fact that measurement campaigns will be conducted aboard four vessels equipped with three differ-

New Generation Container

Feeder Design Debuts

Knud E. Hansen-developed KEH

MARK 1200 & KEH MARK 1500 Con- tainer vessels offer compact size, big - t 1:

Knud E. Hansen. Copenhagen has developed the next generation of con- tainer feeder vessels. The new genera- tion was inspired by inquiries from major clients for these size feeder ves- sels. The efficiencies of the KEH

MARK 1200 and 1500 have been achieved by making extremely compact vessels by using the experience gained from the KEH Mark V, Mark VI S, Mark

VI, Mark VII and Mark X all designed by KEH. numerous ships of these designs have been built over the years.

KEH has managed to design the vessels one FEU shorter, but one box wider, with lines requiring less horsepower for the same capacity and speed, but also resulting in improved stability and a lower GT versus the container capaci- ties. The ratio between container intakes and positions are 71 percent and 72 per- cent, respectively. The total container capacities of Mark 1200 and 1500 respectively are 1,212/1,536 TEU or 860/1110 TEU homogenously loaded 14 tons/TEU. The KEH MARK 1200 is fit- ted with 250 reefer plugs and Mark 1500 is fitted with 400 reefer plugs.
