OVERVIEW OF PRESENT DAY AND FUTURE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN MARINE ENGINEERING AND THEIR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. PART 1

Major problems in the design of ship propulsion plants are presented. The challenges to researchers, designers and operators are discussed. Methods of developing improved propulsion plants are reviewed. Attention is paid to shafting - and machinery vibrations, engine performance and engine problems related to fuels and fuel treatment, automation and the resulting effects on reliability and maintainability, condition monitoring, education and training, reduced manning and safety. Future developments and future basic research are indicated. See also next Abstract.
