THE MODERN DIESEL ENGINE AND THE NEW TREND OF TRANSPORT AND ENERGY SYSTEMS

Eight proposals to engine arrangements for a modern ro-ro cargo liner with a prime mover of about 25,000 bhp are presented and evaluated. They include 400-900mm bore sulzer diesel engines, and either twin-screw or single screw propulsion. Physical limitations such as ramp design and available draught are then considered. Torsional vibration and noise level are dealt with. Other types of ships are also considered.
