Improving Design Efficiency

Behavioral Modeling, a patent-pend-
ing technology at the heart of
Pro/ENGINEER, is a solution that cap-
tures product-intent as a natural part of
the engineering process, and then auto-
matically builds virtual prototypes that
satisfy these multiple objectives. What's
more, because the problem and solution
have been captured electronically in the
design, the system can automatically
solve future real engineering problems.
PTC seeks to deliver improved pro-
ductivity to the shipbuilding industry in
the same way it revolutionized tradition-
al computer aided design in other indus-
tries. For example in aerospace,
Pro/ENGINEER reduced airframe
design by 50 percent: allowed for 97
percent first time fit, and 40 percent
reduction in resources on the Global
Hawk, Northrop Grumman's high alti-
tude aerial vehicle. At Lockheed Mar-
tin, PTC's products helped deliver the
Atlas rocket program product with a 25
percent reduction in engineering change
orders (ECO's), saving $10 million.
These are the benefits of this new C A D
architecture on complex engineering
projects and PTC is bringing these types
of cost advantages to the shipbuilding
industry, which can employ tools like
these to respond to new customer
demands and market-driven forces with
increased efficiency, even late in the
product development cycle.

provided an update of this premiere
repair job.

For the past two-and-a-half w e e k s

crews f r o m various departments within
Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS)
have been grinding away around-the-
clock seven days a week in order to reju-
venate the Carnival Paradise's Azipod
propulsion system. The yard's rigging
and machine shop crews, along with
A B B (the manufacturers of the Azipod
system) technicians worked together to
ensure the 2,052-passegership's place
back at its Miami, Fla. port by August
20. O n c e repairs on the Azipods are
complete, the vessel will steam south to
its homeport — resuming its scheduled
itineraries to the Eastern and Western
Caribbean.
First established in Europe, Azipods
have been touted as innovative because
of their ability to pull the ship through
water rather than pushing it, as well as
eliminating the necessity of rudders,
long shaft lines, conventional drive units
and stern thrusters.

Shiploc can also alert owners through
both e-mail and the Web site as to
whether their vessel arrived safely at its

on and finds that the vessel has gone off
course, he can then kick the system in to

PBCF Aids Propulsion Efficiency
Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) is a propeller
enhancing device, which is designed to cut fuel
consumption and exhaust gases by up to five per-
cent while incurring no additional maintenance
cost once installed. The unit, according to H.
Yumoto Manager of PBCF Div. Mitsui O.S.K.
Techno Trade, Ltd., is now operational on 720 ship
worldwide. The PBCF rectifies the propeller hub
vortex and recovers rotational energy otherwise
lost in the propeller slip stream. Increasing pro-
peller thrust by over one percent and reducing propeller torque by over three percent, the
PBCF reportedly results in fuel savings of up to five percent or compared to vessels oper-
ating at equivalent speeds but without the PBCF, alternatively, a 1.5 percent increase in
speed at the same engine output.
The PBCF is designed to eliminate propeller hub vortex, resulting in reduced stern

First Of Modified Destroyers Ties that bind
Commissioned Nearly a quarter-century on from landing an order for what proved to be one of the
industry's most remarkable series of RoRo vessels, the Hyundai yard has struck a
new deal with the Stena organization for RoPax tonnage. The 11 Searunner-class
vessels commissioned out of Ulsan between 1977 and 1979 denoted a farsighted
investment by the Swedish group. The entire series found ready employ in various
European trades, and the flexibility of the design resulted in a range of subsequent
enlargement and conversion schemes, which kept the vessels to the fore in various
fields for many years. While the Searunner breed provided the South Korean ship-
builder with an impressive, early reference in the RoRo domain, the latest contract
award also has strategic significance for Hyundai in taking the yard into the buoy-
ant RoPax sector. The order from Stena RoRo initially entails a vessel of some
2,400 lane-meters of RoRo capacity and incorporating accommodation for 900
passengers, due to be handed over in 2002. The agreement includes an option on a
second-of-class. Stena is currently also sourcing RoRo tonnage in China, in the
shape of a 12,300-dwt series from Dalian Shipyard. But the group's business links
with Hyundai Heavy Industries are manifested not only in the new RoPax but also
in a pair of innovative crude carriers under construction for the associated compa-
ny Concordia Maritime. The V-Max class of twin-skeg, 314,500-dwt tankers is
characterized by an exceptionally wide beam and shallow draft. It emphasizes the
Swedish group's propensity for innovation and again demonstrates the South Kore-
an yard's position in the vanguard of new ship design and engineering develop-
ments. — David Tinsley

First Of Modified Destroyers Ties that bind
Commissioned Nearly a quarter-century on from landing an order for what proved to be one of the
industry's most remarkable series of RoRo vessels, the Hyundai yard has struck a
new deal with the Stena organization for RoPax tonnage. The 11 Searunner-class
vessels commissioned out of Ulsan between 1977 and 1979 denoted a farsighted
investment by the Swedish group. The entire series found ready employ in various
European trades, and the flexibility of the design resulted in a range of subsequent
enlargement and conversion schemes, which kept the vessels to the fore in various
fields for many years. While the Searunner breed provided the South Korean ship-
builder with an impressive, early reference in the RoRo domain, the latest contract
award also has strategic significance for Hyundai in taking the yard into the buoy-
ant RoPax sector. The order from Stena RoRo initially entails a vessel of some
2.400 lane-meters of RoRo capacity and incorporating accommodation for 900
passengers, due to be handed over in 2002. The agreement includes an option on a
second-of-class. Stena is currently also sourcing RoRo tonnage in China, in the
shape of a 12.300-dwt series from Dalian Shipyard. But the group's business links
with Hyundai Heavy Industries are manifested not only in the new RoPax but also
in a pair of innovative crude carriers under construction for the associated compa-
ny Concordia Maritime. The V-Max class of twin-skeg, 314,500-dwt tankers is
characterized by an exceptionally wide beam and shallow draft. It emphasizes the
Swedish group's propensity for innovation and again demonstrates the South Kore-
an yard's position in the vanguard of new ship design and engineering develop-
ments. — David Tinslex

also encountered during this period with
plant shut downs having to take place at
more frequent intervals to remove the
solids build up in the separation vessels.
Besides the more frequent shutdowns to
remove the solids, a potentially greater
problem is the effect that sand has on the
instrumentation and the erosive effects
on pipework and valves. The existing
plant like most installations in the North
Sea had no facility to manage solids.

in every corner of the world.

On this project, Merpro decided to
take a different approach. The company
had recently purchased AutoPLANT
from Rebis, in Walnut Creek, Calif. This
family of 2-D and 3-D plant design soft-
ware runs as an add-on to AutoCAD.
One of the reasons Merpro purchased
this system was because they could buy
only the modules they wanted. They
purchased the P&ID module, the Instru-
mentation system, and the Data Manag-
er. Rather than simply drawing geome-
try to indicate process lines and equip-
ment as they would with a CAD system,
the new system would allow them to
create intelligent P&IDs that also main-
tained a textual database with detailed
specifications on all equipment and
lines. Equipment lists could be generat-
ed automatically from the information
in the P&ID database. And because
Instrumentation and P&ID share a com-
mon database, once a P&ID has been
produced, all other required documenta-
tion such as loop, cable, and termination
drawings can be generated automatical-
ly. When changes are made to a P&ID,
they instantly ripple through the entire
documentation package.

Intelligent process
After the process flow diagram and
process schematic were completed, they
were turned over to the designers who
created the P&IDs. Rather than drawing
equipment and lines, adding bubbles,
and putting text in the bubbles, they
were able to insert pre-created equip-

need for a U.S.-based operation was
Circle 239 on Reader Service Card imminent not merely because most of
the major playing cruise lines are head-
quartered in South Florida, but also
many U.S-based suppliers are now
entering into the cruise shipping game
— mostly due to the recent boom of
U.S.-based cruise shipbuilding. Tomas
felt the best way to reach these new
potential clients would be to establish
ties that were closer to them. U.S.-based
suppliers may one day even become so
competitive in the cruise-shipping arena
that they will outnumber the already-
established European manufacturers.
"The resources and possibilities are
astounding for cruise companies,"
Tomas said. "They (cruise lines) will
want to stay with American suppliers."
In fact, some of the European based
companies have followed Tillberg

cautioned, "If you have to step too far into the future,

The practicality that Tomas is referring to is lack of
funds, as these technologically driven designs could
end up costing owners more than what can fit into their
budgets.
However, though, Tomas predicts that eventually
evolution will occur and owners will want to imple-
ment these futuristic creations.
"If there's hesitation that it wouldn't work, then it (the
ship) doesn't get built," Tomas said. "There has to be an
evolution — m a y b e s o m e o n e will be interested — per-
haps in possibly five to ten years."

boat hulls and other surfaces. While
there is no concrete answer to the prob-
lem, a number of solutions have been
considered and proposed, including the
exchange of ballast water in the Ocean,
as well as the use of filtration methods,
including thermal, chemical and radia-
tion treatments.
This past August, funding from grants
made by the State of Maryland Port
Administration and the National Ocean-
ic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) will support the rigorous test-
ing of the patent pending Ballast Water
Treatment System from Maritime Solu-
tions Inc. The funding exceeds
$650,000 and will support a larger pub-
lic/private sector initiative to test the
Maritime Solutions' treatment system.
Maritime Solutions, working in coop-
eration with the University of Maryland,
has additionally won the support of the INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM
U.S. Maritime Administration (MarAd),
which will allow the testing program to
take place aboard the 39,000-dwt Cape
