      <title>AUTOMATED SYSTEMS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/394184</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Drydock operations increasingly use automated systems to remain competitive, to improve and expedite repair services, and to utilize labor more efficiently. Two such automated facilities are examined: dock arms, designed to position working platforms alongside any point on a ship's side, and hauling-in systems, to control and ease the maneuvering of ships into and out of the dock.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[A British court has awarded damages to the dependents of a shipyard worker who died of an asbestos-related disease. The decision may carry implications relating to the liability of shipyards that were stripping ships of asbestos at a time when the risks involved were not fully understood or properly dealt with.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Innovative new keel and side blocks developed for Gibralter Shiprepair Limited are described. The blocks, which combine rubber, concrete and timber, are capable of being removed under full load. They can also be replaced normally under full load or, at worst, under a minimum of 50% of full load.]]></description>

      <title>DIRTY WATER SURVEYS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/401630</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In-water surveys have been available since at least 1975. Unfortunately, despite the growing demand, the service has been possible only in regions of very clear water. Such regions are few in number and for the most part situated away from highly used shipping lanes. A method developed by Seahorse Industries, in the UK, to overcome this problem by enabling surveys in low-visibility water is described. The company claims that by introducing new technology and techniques into the diving world, surveys are now possible with as little as half a meter of visibility and that even this low figure will later be reduced. The method makes it possible for in-water surveys to be carried out in any port in the world.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[An interesting conversion is described that was completed by Astilleros Espanoles to transform a bulk carrier into a molten sulfur carrier. The principal involved the building and installation of six separate mild steel, semimembrane-construction cargo tanks dimensioned to pass through the existing hatch coamings to locate in guides fitted in the holds.  Six photographs illustrate the short text.]]></description>

      <title>CRUISE AND FERRY REPAIRS/CONVERSIONS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/407108</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Various aspects of the repair and conversion of ferries and cruise ships are discussed. This area of work is possibly the most active of all for the marine repair industry. The reason is that in contrast to cargo ships, passenger-carrying vessels are required to drydock annually to fulfill the requirements of the passenger certificate. The nature of the work is also different in that the function of ferries and cruise ships is to attract passengers, in connection with which the decor and comfort of the public spaces become extremely important. As a result, companies that are basically design oriented are merging to play a much larger role in the work.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Five short articles constitute this feature on welding and repairs: "Welding in Hazardous Areas," describing an advanced welding technique approved for use in areas where traditional methods would normally be prohibitive; "Welding of Aluminium Tubes," about a method developed for consistently producing high-quality TIG welds in aluminum tubes by using specically-developed orbital welding heads and TIG power sources; "New Diesel Welding Set," describing a new diesel-powered welding unit equipped to operate with both stick and  continuous wire electrodes; "Welding Set Meets New British Standard," explaining how a new small gas welding and cutting set has been introduced to meet the requirements of a new British standard covering the design of such sets and aimed at stemming the growing number of accidents; and "Refurbished Dredger Parts," describing how it has been demonstrated that even very badly worn dredger machinery parts can be saved from the scrapheap by using the right repair materials.]]></description>
