Intergraph, LR to Team on

Ship Interface

Intergraph reached an agreement with Lloyd's Register to build an interface between Intergraph's IntelliShip multi-discipline ship design software, and the Lloyd's

Register assessment applications, RulesCalc and

ShipRight SDA. The interface will result in significantly greater efficiencies in the classification process for LR- classed ships. IntelliShip coupled with this new interface will improve the overall ship design, certification, con- struction and commissioning process. Shipyards and ship designers can readily check the model created in Intelli-

Ship against Lloyd's Register's classification rules, elim- inating redundant modeling and reducing errors. Since

IntelliShip is rule based, checks early in the design cycle automatically carry over to detailed design and construc- tion.

LR North America Holds

CSR Seminar

Now that the Common Structural Rules (CSR) for double hull tankers are in effect, Lloyd's Register is help- ing the industry to begin building a new generation of safer, more robust ships. As part of this process, it has already begun to present a series of seminars in various locations throughout the world and, on May 24, Lloyd's

Register North America, Inc. presented "The impact of the Common Structural Rules for tankers" to more than 30 industry professionals at the New York Yacht Club.

Representatives from companies including General

Maritime Management, Maersk Lines, Eastwind Trans- port, Admanthos Shipping, Pronav, Poten and Partners,

OSG, Liberian Ship & Corporate Registry and SeaTech- nology (USA) learned about the reasons the Rules were developed, their impact and applicability to currently contracted vessels, and the technical changes they bring to ship design. The seminar was led by Alex Johnston,

Lloyd's Register's Global Technology Leader - Hull

Structures.
