In any study of the fuel economy of LNG carriers this feature should be given primary consideration since the value of LNG is rising along with the cost of oil fuels, whereas the thermal efficiency of conventional steam turbine plants remains low compared with other propulsion machinery. The paper presents a design study for an economical LNG carrier adopting more fuel- efficient systems such as diesel engines and reheat cycle steam turbine plant for propulsion. The main alternative considered is for a slow-speed diesel engine of Sulzer 7RTA84 type together with a Sulzer Zero-Loss reliquefaction plant for reliquefaction of the BOG. An economic analysis and comparison of operational costs with a COGAS system is made, based on a 125,000 m3 LNG carrier as specified for the Australian NWS project.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417212 SIMULATORS FOR TRAINING/UPGRADING ENGINE ROOM STAFF https://trid.trb.org/View/417213 Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417213 MARINE BOILERS FOR THE NEW COAL FIRED AGE https://trid.trb.org/View/417214 and the medium/high power range *30-90 tonne/h>. The problems of stoker firing are considered and the possibilities of commercial fluidised combustion as an alternative technique are examined. The paper concludes with some design details of the fluidised bed boiler currently undergoing trials at Georgetown University and summarizes operating experience with the unit to date.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417214 SERVICE EXPERIENCE WITH A ONE-FUEL SHIP https://trid.trb.org/View/417249 Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417249 THE DAWN OF PRACTICAL, SAIL-EQUIPPED MOTORSHIPS https://trid.trb.org/View/417250 Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417250 SAIL-ASSIST ALTERNATIVES FOR AUXILIARY PROPULSION https://trid.trb.org/View/417251 . The findings of this report encouraged Wind Ship to continue research and development in the field of sail-assist. Under contract to Ceres Hellenic Shipping Enterprises, Wind Ship has designed two 3,000 sq.ft rigs to provide direct comparative results between the unstayed cat rig and the wing sail. The cat rig was installed aboard the Mini Lace, a 3,100dwt general cargo ship and an engineering study was carried out to predict annual fuel savings. Development of the wing sail has also proceeded with the construction of a one-third linear scale model of the 3,000 sq. ft design and preliminary results are encouraging.]]> Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/417251 HOW COST EFFECTIVE ARE "PIRATE" SPARES? https://trid.trb.org/View/418983 Mon, 14 Aug 1995 00:00:00 GMT https://trid.trb.org/View/418983
