Research helps ClassNK propel it on to a higher growth path
Another concept of IC engineering which has come full circle.
An update from the NZ HERALD ONLINE
Could there be a faint whiff of insanity in the air, emanating from the giant South Korean shipyards?
A brief outline of what would be the minimum needed to set up an advanced marine fuels training facility. The facility would be used to establish and implement an IMO approved STCW endorsement in marine fuels for senior (First and Second Class Certificates) marine engineer officers. The facility would be operated on a "not for profit" basis thereby maintaining an unbiased stance. The facility would be designed around 3 day seminars with a class size not to exceed 20 individuals with approximately 50 classes per year. The facility would also be available in off class periods for customized training sessions to suit industry/owner requirements.
It is envisioned that such a facility could be established through OEM donations of machinery and a collaborative initial funding by US based vessel and power plant owners/operators and annual grants from sources such as MarAd, EPA and other maritime professional organizations.
I realize a lot will say that this training is available from the manufacturers however, factory schools are beyond the reach of most mariners.
The purpose of the Geoprober Drilling System (GDS) is to reduce the cost of acquiring G&G data for exploration activity in deepwater by 50%.
Recently in the Florida Keys, the standing rigging of a 60’ inspected passenger carrying sailing catamaran failed, causing its rotating wing spar mast to collapse. Evidence suggests that the port shroud parted where it exits a swageless mechanical end fitting located on the upper mast at a common shrouds/stay connection. Although there were a number of passengers onboard at the time there were no resultant injuries.
