BALTIMORE, MARYLAND: MITAGS' STN ATLAS 5000 360° Bridge Simulator's High Fidelity graphics and precise ship

hydrodynamic behavior make it an excellent platform for Ship/Port modeling studies.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON: PMI'STRANSAS Bridge Simulator is uniquely optimized to train

tug/barge, passenger, and ferry industry personnel.

M I T A G S / P M I have the most advanced full-mission ship simulation capabilities in the nation. The
systems have been constructed to Det Norske Veritas Class A Simulator Standards and configured
to handle a wide range of training missions; including high speed craft (HSC), VLCC lightering,
underway replenishment, docking, narrow channels, tug and barge, and STCW-95 shiphandling
competency assessments. The systems are also configured to provide hands-on training for
specialized ship controls such as azipod, tractor tugs, Kamewa" Joystick, and dynamic positioning.

The patented database development software dramatically reduces the cost of developing new
port models for training and research activities.

Navy Contract

"We're thrilled that the Navy has recognized the

world-class partnership we've put together to
build a revolutionary ship design that could
transform the way the Navy moves on the
water," said William Burns of M Ship Co.
In M-Hull vessels, as designed and patented by
M Ship Co., the compression of the air beneath
the hull creates an air cushion and increases
propulsion efficiency by converting wave energy
to boat lift. The technology is relatively new, dat-
ing back only to 1999, when, based on a newly-
created design by M Ship Co., Knight & Carver
built a 65-ft. M-Hull water-taxi for commercial
use in the wake-sensitive canals of Venice, Italy.
The vessel proved highly effective in minimizing
water damage to the canals and promptly led M
Ship Co. to consider similar applications of the
M-Hull on both larger and smaller vessels.
As part of its partnership with M Ship Co.,
Knight & Carver has constructed a demo model
of a 40-ft. M-Hull motoryacht. Production of
additional similar vessels is expected soon. A
smaller, aluminum-hulled 38-ft. prototype, featur-
ing the M Hull with cruising speeds in excess of
40 knots, has been a frequent sight along San
Diego Bay in recent months.

The EPA is also engaged in efforts to
reduce the level of sulphur in diesel fuel
and to eliminate emissions of ozone-
depleting substances. The U.S. Coast
Guard has promulgated standards for
vapor control systems utilized on tank
ships in the United States. The Coast
Guard also enforces international stan-
dards applicable to shipboard incinera-
tors. Various states of the United States
have established air emission standards
applicable to ships operating within
their jurisdiction. S o m e states require
use of U S C G - a p p r o v e d vapor control
systems. The State of Alaska estab-
lished air emission standards applicable
to cruise ships calling at various ports.
As a result, some cruise ships now rely
on shore power when making port calls
in places such as Juneau. The State of
California also established air emission
standards for local areas, such as the
ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
As in Juneau, some ships calling in
L A / L B will be relying on shore p o w e r
so as to minimize air emissions. In addi-
tion. L A / L B have adopted a voluntary
speed reduction program where ships
within 20 miles of the ports maintain a
speed of not greater than 12 knots in
order to reduce harmful air emissions.

Ships and the engines that drive them

keep getting larger. World population
and world trade keep growing. One of
the f e w things not growing is the atmos-
phere. Emission standards for factories,
p o w e r plants, cars, and trucks continue
to b e c o m e more stringent. We should
not expect air emission standards for
ships to be any different. W h a t we have
a right to expect is that those emission
standards with be uniform, so that an
ocean-going ship qualified to operate in
one part of the world will be allowed to
operate in all parts of the world. The
I M O is the appropriate agency to estab-
lish international air emission standards
for ships. The U.S. EPA has wisely rec-
ognized this. Let us work to ensure that
such recognition of I M O cognizance
continues.

The Sea Switch Two was designed and patented
for all tank applications. The Sea Switch Two
offers a reliable solution for liquid level detection
and control for cargo, ballast, and storage tanks,
without any moving parts.
The Sea Switch Two uses a fully static system
that is based on the propagation of an acoustic
wave into a metallic rod. A piezo-electric sensing
element produces a wave along the rod. As the
liquid reaches the sensing element the oscilla-
tion stops and the alarm is activated.
The Sea Switch Two sensor detects high, high-

If i n d e e d there is strength in n u m b e r s , then
Caterpillar's propulsion prowess is of Herculean pro-
portion. The international company serves a diversity
of p o w e r needs around the globe, giving it an unri-
valled engine installation base f r o m which it can con-
tinuously tweak and improve current models while
grooming the next generation of powerplants.
T h e companies Advanced C o m b u s t i o n Emissions
Reduction T e c h n o l o g y — or more simply A C E R T —
is the result of an initiative started with R & D f u n d i n g
in 1999, an estimated half billion effort to: meet the
most stringent current emission rules: enhance true
customer value; minimize pollutants where they are
generated, i.e. in the combustion space; and, to serve as
a stepping-stone for meeting future regulations apply-
ing evolutionary steps. The effort continues today, aim-
ing to meet the high s t a n d a r d s of " N e a r Z e r o
Emissions".
Emissions have been the primary driver of engine
development during the last decade, said Dr. G e o r g e
Lustgarten, Director P o w e r Systems Engineering,
Caterpillar Inc., at a presentation on the matter at the
S M M 2004 exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. The
most restrictive on-highway limits precede only by 2-4
years the land based application. NOx and particulate
emissions have been dramatically reduced and will be
reduced by an additional 95 percent until 2 0 1 0 .
Eventually all emissions will converge towards a "Near
Zero Emission" situation. Engine makers of all shape
and size are increasingly being pressed by internation-
al, national and regional authorities to minimize engine
emissions, while simultaneously being squeezed by
vessel owners to improve fuel efficiency and engine
designed to allow the combustion process to be shaped "When w e talk about ACERT. we're talking about a

Making the Mark For Crescent Towing's Fleet

The first G E Diesel engine in Crescent
Towing's fleet went into service in 1971
powering the retrofitted Port Hudson tug
— a retired U.S. Navy tug. The Port
H u d s o n is still operating today using a
G E medium-speed diesel engine. "I've
worked for Crescent Towing for 24
years, and the G E engines are the most
dependable ones we have in our fleet of
24 tugs," said Larry Ohler, vice presi-
dent, port engineer for Crescent Towing,
N e w Orleans, La. "We operate all of our
engines at full ahead, full stops, and full
range of rpms. We have selected G E
Diesels for our tugs b e c a u s e we've
found that between overhauls, the G E
engines require less maintenance. In
addition, on average the G E Diesels will
use 25 gallons per hour less fuel than
other engines of the same horsepower,"
Ohler noted.
Today, Crescent Towing has 24 diesel
engines powering its fleet, operating in
Savannah, Ga., Mobile. Ala., and New
Orleans. In Crescent Towing's 24-tug
fleet, nine vessels are powered by 10 G E
Diesel engines.

years before, in 1963, the loss of the

stirred similar feelings, and had spurred
development of dedicated rescue ves-

For Those
in Peril By David Tinsley
Although peacetime losses of sub-
marines through accidents have been
few and far between, rarely have sailors
survived situations w h e r e they have
been trapped within a distressed boat on
the ocean floor. T h e Kursk tragedy in
the Barents Sea during August 2000,
when all 118 crew perished, was a sad
reminder of the risks faced by those w h o
provide a largely unnoticed service to
their countries, and of the horrors of
being marooned underwater. S o m e 37
years before, in 1963, the loss of the
U S S Thresher and all 129 aboard, had
stirred similar feelings, and had spurred
development of dedicated rescue ves-
sels. A new initiative involving UK
defense contractors, offshore and under-
water technology specialists is intended
to improve the chances of survival for
trapped submariners. The $80 million

describes the challenges found in the
maintenance tasks on the missile tubes.
"Setting up our old boring system took
i several man-days before we could start
the actual work." he said. "We had to
weld in blocks to hold the machine, and
continually chalk it to offset drifting
during the bolt-down process. We also
had to test to make sure no damage was
caused to the surrounding material by
welding in and later cutting out those
blocks. Later, we needed to repaint the
entire work area."
All these steps were not only time-
consuming, but required the involve-
ment of numerous personnel, from
machinists and riggers to specialists able
to safely handle lead-based paints.
"Completing work on just one missile
tube could take 10 full days with three
shifts working eight hours," said
Johnson. "Considering that the average
boat has 24 tubes to maintain, the time
and expense involved was incredible."
After hearing favorable reports from
colleagues, Johnson contacted the team
at Climax.
"Climax came up with a design for a
custom machine based on its standard
boring bar system, and instructions on
how it would operate. Down in the tube,
