6 0 Years Ago Maritime Meanings

Squeegee The familiar rubber-edged "broom" used for sweeping water from windows, vehicle windscreens, and the like, after they have been
washed. Originally a nautical word, with the variation "squilgee;" it referred to the swab used for washing and cleaning the decks, and is a corrup-
tion of "squeege;" which itself is a colloquialism for "squeeze."
Source: An Ocean of Words: A Dictionary of Nautical Words and Phrases, by Peter D. Jeans; Birch Lane Press , 1998

French Dagger
Christened Dague, meaning "dagger" in French,
by Mrs Henri de Lageneste, wife of the Chicago
representative of the French Liberation
Committee, the submarine chaser W-13 is
shown crashing into ice filled Sturgeon Bay from
the ways of the Leathern D. Smith Shipbuilding
company, on the cover of Maritime Activity
Report's March 2, 1944 edition, 60 years ago.
Dague was the second of three sub chasers the
Smith Yard built for the Free French Government.
The ships were identical to the American ves-
sels, save one detail ... the French ships had
accommodations for wine casks.

guards were present to patrol the entire
terminal and piers, but they were more
concerned about avoiding the clouds of
mosquitoes. At about 2:45 on Sunday
morning, flames were observed coming
from one of the hundreds of boxcars
loaded with explosives. The security
guards immediately fled the facility,
stopping only to set off the fire alarm.
The explosions lit up the sky over Jersey

barges. Total damage was estimated to

continued to be performed at the direc-
tion of the Commandant, who (for this
purpose) reported directly to the
Secretary of the Navy (in lieu of the
Secretary of the Treasury, in peacetime).
As in World War I. the Coast Guard
supervised the loading and movement of
merchant vessels bound for the wartime
w statute, though, was not written on a
TRELLEBORG
theaters. It also oversaw many aspects
of waterfront security, an activity for
which the agency lacked authority dur-
ing the First World War.
The year 1950 saw initiation of armed
conflict in Korea and commencement of
the 'Red Scare' in the United States, with
Communists alleged to be lurking
behind many, if not every, bush. In
response to these events. Congress
enacted the so-called Magnuson Act,
which expanded the Espionage Act of
1917 by making it applicable any time
the President finds the security of the
United States to be threatened and by
expanding its coverage to include not
just vessels, but also harbors, ports, and
waterfront facilities. President Truman
quickly promulgated, by means of an
Executive Order, regulations to imple-
ment the expanded port security mission
of the Coast Guard. Those regulations
have been little changed to the present
day.
The port security mission could not.
though, adequately address the growing
needs of port safety. Congress eventual-
ly responded by enacting the Ports and
Waterways Safety Act of 1972. This Act
provided the Coast Guard with authori-
ties similar to those found in the
Espionage Act of 1917, as amended in
1950, but focused on peacetime safety,
rather than wartime security. Authority
under the 1972 Act was further expand-
ed with passage of the Port and Tanker
Safety Act of 1978. When terrorists
struck on September 11, 2001, the Coast
Guard had broad authority to take action
to enhance the port security situation in
U.S. waters. It promptly established
security zones in almost all major ports
and harbors. The agency also estab-
lished special naval vessel protection
zones around all warships in U.S.
waters. Commensurate with the asym-
metrical threat posed by terrorists, the
Coast Guard utilized its authority under
the Ports and Waterways Safety Act to
require that advance notices of arrival be
submitted earlier than previously and
include additional information. Armed
Coast Guard personnel, referred to as
'Sea Marshals', were placed on certain
high risk vessels entering U.S. ports. All
of these actions were taken under statu-
tory authority whose genesis derived
from the Black Tom Island incident. The
Coast Guard's authority over, and
responsibility for, port and maritime
security were further expanded with
passage of the Maritime Transportation
Security Act of 2002 (MTSA). This
blank slate. Rather, it was intentionally

Delayed Enforcement of
Change to "Shipper"
Element
The U.S. Bureau of Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) issued a Notice
stating that is delaying indefinitely
implementation of the change to the
"shipper" element of the advance mani-
fest filing requirement as provided for in
its December 5. 2003 rulemaking under
the Trade Act of 2002.
The change was scheduled to come
into effect on March 4, 2004 and would
have changed the "shipper" element of

The purpose of the indefinite delay is
to allow CBP time to review a petition

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a

checklist was developed with the partic-

Association (FCCA) and the Florida
Department of Environmental

Plans. Collectively, these components
of the MTSA establish a layered securi-
ty strategy that significantly strengthens
and standardizes the security measures
for the domestic port security team of
federal, state, local and private authori-
ties. Just as important, successful
implementation of the MTSA require-
ments will bring the United States in
compliance with the new International
Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS)
Code. All nations participating in inter-
national maritime trade are required to
be in compliance with the ISPS Code by
July 1. 2004.
Before any effective security measures
can be implemented, there must be a
vulnerability assessment. The MTSA
requires certain waterfront facility and
vessel owners/operators to conduct vul-
nerability assessments of their respec-
tive facilities and vessels and to submit a
report to the Coast Guard. The MTSA
also designates the Coast Guard Captain
of the Port (COTP) as the Federal
Maritime Security Coordinator (FMSC)
and charges him or her with completing
a vulnerability assessment of the mar-
itime domain within his/her zone. These
vulnerability assessments evaluate the

When Security is Made Simple

How are we to implement an effective
Maritime Security Program?
When terrorists hijacked aircraft and
used them as weapons, a significant par-
adigm shift occurred in how we view
security in the U.S. The Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) was created
and we were witnesses to the largest
shift in federal government roles and
responsibilities since World War 11.
Additionally, significant changes were
made to the airline and maritime indus-
tries with the implementation of the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of
2002 (MTSA) and its aviation counter-
part. This article will discuss method-
ologies to assist maritime owners/opera-
tors in complying with the often confus-
ing myriad of federal and international

 Cruise Shipping • Interior Design
He's No Regular Joe
Joe Farcus has been in the ship design
refitting of old tonnage
Here he shares with MR some
How do you start the design process?
In this sense I am a traditionalist. My
belief is that people are booking cruises
for the same basic reason they did 25 or
more years ago. In one way or another
those who are doing so are buying into
the concept of the romance inherent
with the sea. For those of us who are not
sailors, being at sea is a most pleasant
change of physical point of view. The
view from a ship is all horizon, with
occasional terra firma drifting by. The
stars are brighter at night than in the city.
The floor moves! The service provided
by the crew is at a high level seldom
found at hotels. What a fantastic set of
ground rules to begin a design. So the
idea in designing in such an environ-
ment is to not do anything that takes
away from these great advantages over
hotels. Keep the design ship-like in
some way is my guiding principle.
At the beginning of a new project, I try
and put myself in the position of the
guest who will sail aboard her. I ask:
"What do I want to see and experience
on this ship?" My answer is "Something
that does not take away fromthis
romance which 1 want to be a part of."
The central idea of "Famous
Fictional Icons" has inspired Joe
Farcus, Carnival's ship architect, in
the design of the public rooms
aboard Carnival Miracle. The dra-
matic interiors exist in the archi-
tecture and decor throughout

discipline of architecture
and leading up to being involved
of his thoughts on Cruise
The trick,of course, is to give form to
that ideal which does not produce a neg-
ative effect on the desire.
What have been the biggest changes
in the industry?
The level of sophistication: expected
& delivered. Using movies as an analo-
gy. the special effects that one experi-
enced in seeing the original Star Wars
movie pales in comparison to a action
movie of today. Yet the acting from 20
or even more years ago is still just as
valid (and some say better) than that of
today. Such is the case with cruise ship
design and Entertainment Architecture.
I see the architectural solution to
increased sophistication as mainly a
technical one. It involves responding to
the trends or better yet creating the
trends by judicious analyzing of what
has occurred and judging how that can
be improved. Creating sophistication is
very much a team creative process. It
also crystallizes another personal view
of mine. The cruise lines signs my con-
tracts and pays the fees, but the passen-
gers are the real clients. Satisfying their
needs first is the best way to serve the

Ship Interior Design.
owners. As a result we are always for-
mally and informally reviewing every
aspect of the passenger's cruise experi-
ence in order to achieve the highest level
of sophistication possible. We try and
anticipate their needs before they do in
order to deliver carefree enjoyment.
A cruise ship takes years to build and
is designed to operate for decades ...
How do you keep design relevant?
Now sophistication also applies to
pure decorative design as well. When I
am designing interiors for these vessels I
am never trying to follow what's in fash-
ion in architectural or interior design
today. Indeed in order to achieve a per-
sonal and artistic expression it is of
utmost importance to create independent
of fashion. Fashion is for today.
Tomorrow is for another fashion.
FASHION IS ABOUT NEW'. WHILE
DESIGN IS ABOUT BETTER.'
Architecture has to be as timeless as
possible to be attractive and practical.
Practicality is an important aspect as it
relates to economy & even though it
hurts to think this way as a designer, it is
a fact of life just as important as IMO.
starting from the
prototype cruise ships.
Achieving design sophistication & artis-
tic expression is largely a matter of
experience & tenacity. It certainly
requires personal faith for it often
requires leaving what has been safe &
accepted, & delving into the unknown &
what if? The first step in creating the
interior design for a ship is the conceiv-
ing of the story, which I call the Central
Idea. For me this a point of logic to
build the various diverse designs
around. It's both loose & strong at the
same time. The strength is that all of the
designs will relate to each other in some
way. The looseness allows me to design
the diversity, which I feel is a very
important part of cruise ship design.
Diversity as mentioned is the master
criteria in fleshing out the Central Idea.
I think this is also of utmost importance
in designing a cruise ship. This is for
several reasons not the least of which is
the diversity of the passengers onboard.
On the ships I design passengers come
for all backgrounds, countries, & just
about every other demographic that you
can think of. Therefore it seems to me
that this diversity should be realized in
the designs.

involved with, the initial most daring
naval architecture creativity is always
compromised in the final form of the
ship. But this is a fact of life which
slows revolution into evolution.

What will the Cruise Ship of the

Future Be?
Questions about the future are best
answered by the past, as it is the only
guide post to which one may rely upon
to give any insight into predicting what
may come. 'Should,' is the key word to
this future. The cost of ships today does
not allow for mistakes in basic planning,
therefore the ships which will come to
be will be evolutionary rather than revo-
lutionary. I'm sure that owners would be
happier believing that they are being
shown a new design which should be
built, rather than one which could be
built.

What is the market that will steer the

future?
Again, the past is the breeding ground
in my opinion. If the past tells us any-
thing, it tells us that the market wants
more. If we look at the matriarchal ships
which created cruising as we know it

quickly evolving technical sector in the maritime market than
the satellite communications niche. Safety, operational efficien-

daily operations. Previously, the ice-
breakers and ground facilities were
equipped with the NMT mobile radio
communications system, which operat-
ed over national public networks. But in
2002, this service was terminated.
Seeking an alternative, the countries
turned to Eutelsat. "We needed a perma-
nent system that could function in mesh
mode 24 hours a day, and enable direct,
simultaneous communication between
some or all of the boats as well as the
various sites on the ground. Internet
access was also critical - and it had to be
available on the boats out at sea," said
Magnus Engstrom of Satpool. the
company responsible for integrating the
network. "With such a complex set of
specifications, satellite offered the best
option." Eutelsat provided the icebreak-
ers with a mesh network built on its
Eutelsat@Sea solution for corporate
and commercial maritime users.
Because no land lines are required, the
network can be easily shared between
Sweden and Finland, offering direct
communications via satellite for both
vessel-to-vessel and vessel-to-ground
interactions. During the "ice-over peri-
od," which runs from October to May,
the icebreakers share a permanent, guar-
anteed capacity of 1 Mbps with their
facilities on the ground. In addition to
complete voice and data coverage, the
network is extended via gateway from
the headquarter offices to deliver
Internet and email access for crew
members on board the vessels. Network
supervision, control and monitoring are
operated by Eutelsat.

Cellular Fixed Wireless Helps Deliver Mercy
Mercy Ships is a nonprofit organiza-
tion operating medical relief ships that
travel to the poorest countries of the
world to perform medical services and
community development programs. In
order to serve such communities, the
ships have three basic requirements: a
place to dock, fresh water and telephone
access. In these poor countries, it is very
common to have a wired public phone
Telular's terminals. To receive a strong
signal from the cellular system, Telular's
terminals are mounted in the captain's
anteroom on the boat deck, the highest
deck on the ship. The antennae for each
of the units are mounted remotely on the
roof (deckhead) of the boat deck to give
best signal performance. A variety of

Power systems specialist Rolls-Royce
now derives nearly $1.5 billion of total
annual sales of $8.7 billion from the
marine market, and an important element
of its growth strategy in the marine
domain is the development of its electri-
cal capabilities, products and technology.
The increasing use of electrical drives
and other sub-systems, and a move
towards highly automated, integrated
shipboard networks, is evident in both
the commercial and naval sectors, in the
technology-intensive, specialized vessel
categories which form the group's heart-
land business areas. The success of elec-
trical power and propulsion systems in
application to high capacity cruise ves-
sels has proved to be one of the most sig-
nificant technological developments in
commercial shipping over the past
decade and a half, and electric drives are
finding an ever-broadening market in the
offshore and tanker sectors and other
fields. In the naval business, most new
vessels larger than frigates are being
designed with electrical propulsion sys-
tems.
As in cruise vessels, integrated ship-
board systems are increasingly favored,
whereby the network supplies electrical
energy for the hotel load and all other
consumers as well as for propulsion.
Navies are moving towards the integrat-
ed full electric propulsion concept,
requiring new power electronic technolo-
gies to link power generation, propulsion
and distribution systems.

market dynamics, by providing more
sophisticated electrical solutions, Rolls-

trol systems, and links other Rolls-
Royce products such as prime movers,
propellers and thrusters. It is tasked with
developing and delivering fully integrat-
ed solutions for applications up to 100-
MW.
Laying down building blocks for the
future, Rolls-Royce plans to expand
internal design engineering and integra-
tion resources and create new technolo-
gy demonstrators and test facilities,
while also entering into partnering
arrangements with electrical motor,
drive and generator manufacturers.
Determination to build capability and
extend market reach found early expres-
sion in August's takeover of UK-based
VT Controls, with its strong naval mar-
ket presence in power and automation
systems. The company's Cosham site at
Portsmouth is now the headquarters for
the Marine Electrical Systems business.
Kane explained that Rolls-Royce is
targeting expansion for Marine
Electrical Systems through organic
growth and strategic acquisitions. It is
creating a team capable of designing and
developing electrical machines and
components, and regards partnering
with selected manufacturers, in the field
of power conversion and rotating elec-
trical machinery, as an important plank
of strategy. New technologies are being
developed to provide competitive elec-
trical products and systems, such as for
dedicated packaging of marine drives
and specialized motor designs. One cur-
rent project involves the development of
a transverse flux motor, aimed at achiev-
ing a high torque density factor for new
designs of alternator or podded electric

Contract for New Product Tanker Design
A contract covering the design of a 4,200dwt oil
product tanker has been won by NVC -Design. It rep-
resents the first ship to be built to a concept developed
by Rolls-Royce, a design which combines a tailor-
made hull design with a diesel mechanical propulsion
system based on twin Ulstein Aquamaster Azipull
azimuth thrusters with pulling propellers.
This design has been given the type number NVC
604 PT.
The vessel has been contracted by Norway's Bergen
Tankers AS. and it will be built by RMK Marine
Shipyard in Turkey, scheduled for delivery in
September 2005. Rolls-Royce is to deliver the design
and the Azipull thrusters.
The concept is intended to provide a number of
advantages, perhaps most importantly an increase in
cargo space compared to a conventional single screw
product tanker, as the azimuth thruster system allows
the engine room bulkhead to be moved further aft.
Depending on the size of vessel, the increase in cargo
volume is 5-19c.
By using two independent propulsion lines compris-
ing thruster. shaft generator and main engine, a high
level of redundancy is achieved. It also means that
maintenance work can be carried out on one engine
when the vessel is working cargo in port, since the
other unit, assisted by the tunnel bow thruster. is imme-
diately available to take the vessel to safety should an

emergency arise at the terminal. Propulsion system
redundancy also increases the level of safety in coastal
navigation.
In developing the hull form, Rolls-Royce had to
ensure that the ship would have good course keeping
ability. Hulls with length to beam ratios desirable for
low first cost and high earning capacity in the past
tended to have poor course stability when propelled by
azimuth thrusters, needing large steering corrections
resulting in heavier fuel consumption.
Choosing the Azipull solution for propulsion is
designed to help greatly, as they, with their hydrody-
namically optimized underwater units, provide sub-
stantial rudder area. Even so, a major program of com-
putational design and model testing was undertaken to
ensure that the result would be a tanker with course sta-
bility well in excess of the IMO zig-zag test require-
ments.
The double hull vessel incorporates a bulbous bow,
plus a short skeg for docking purposes. Azipull propul-
sors are positioned below headboxes and allow the aft
end of the hull to be optimized for minimum resistance
and simplified hull construction.
An attraction is that in port one engine can be shut
down. The other is declutched from its thruster and
drives its generator supplying power for the hydraulic
deepwell cargo pump powerpacks and the vessel's
hotel load.
The 4,200-dwt Rolls-Royce oil product tanker design
on order for Bergen Tankers has a cargo hold volume
of 5.200 cu. m. split between 10 tanks. These lie with-
in the double hull which has an overall length of frac-
tionally under 90 m and a moulded breadth of 16.5 m;
the summer draft is 6 m. Cargo heating is by stainless
steel coils through which thermal oil is circulated. Each
tank has its own cargo pump and the total discharge
rate is 1.200 cu. m./hr.
Each main engine develops about 1,400 kW at 900
rpm, coupled to a 1,000 kW generator and an AZP85
Azipull thruster. Allowing for 15 percent sea margin
and hotel load on the shaft generator the service speed
fuel consumption of about 8 tons/24 hrs. A 500kW tun-
nel bow thruster is electrically driven and the shaft gen-
erators are backed up by two 350kW gensets and a
small harbor/emergency set.

Breakthrough 1\ After

Hans Jensen Lubricators V S have reported
a break-through for its recently introduced
Swirl Injection Principle for cylinder lubrica-

 Coatings & Corrosion Control
The Corrosion Control Challenge
Last year Germanischer Lloyd and
Muhlhan sponsored a Surface Protection
Symposium in October in Liibeck. deal-
ing with the topic of value retention in
the shipping industry. The outcome was
a lively exchange of ideas among
shipowners, coating material manufac-
turers and surface protection experts.
Up-to-date findings from research were
discussed with the same vitality as prob-
lems from workaday practice. This
report provides an overview of the
events involved.
After Dr. Richter from Germanischer
Lloyd had welcomed those attending.
Mr. Harms — also from Germanischer
Lloyd — described both the develop-
ment and current status of international
stipulations for the assessment of corro-
sion in water ballast tanks, including the
"Unified Requirement Z7" (1990) from
the International Association of
Classification Societies. He emphasized
the negative consequences which arise
when a tank coating is classified as
"poor". In that case the water ballast
tanks must be inspected each year by a
classification society, resulting in a sub-
stantial operational disadvantage to the
owner. In the process Mr. Harms also
disclosed the criteria for assessing coat-
ings and illustrated the visual bench-
mark used in assessing to what percent-
age the surface area displays coating
material failure or intensive corrosion.
That procedure had already been vigor-
ously discussed by symposium partici-
pants the evening before as its practical
enactment is a source of difficulties time
and again.
Mr. Harms dealt in addition with
Germanischer Lloyd's "Condition
Assessment Program" (CAP), a program
in which corrosion protection plays a
special role. He demonstrated how the
lifespan of a ship can be extended from
10 to over 30 years using this program,
and how value retention can be assured
and the return on investment (ROI)
increased as well.
Dr. Dittmers from Corroconsult
GmbH, Hamburg, reported on the basis
of his experience as a coating damage
assessor. Coating defects can thus be
divided into four groups:
1. Peeling and poor adhesion due to
solvent retention, humidity, exudations,
oils and greases;
2. Blistering due to impurities on top
of the primer, to salts or due to defective
66
cathode protection using an external
power source;
3. Cracks due to an inappropriate coat-
ing system or excessively thick layers of
coating;
4. Corrosion at weak points such as
welding and stoving points, undercoat-
ing thicknesses and porous coatings.
One focus of the report was dedicated
to solvent retention, the way it works
and the causes behind it, whereby the
speaker demonstrated that damage can
be avoided when awareness of the caus-
es is greater. Typical errors favoring the
occurrence of solvent retention are: low
temperatures during application, thick
layers of coating, high percentages of
solvents, rapid chemical curing and sub-
jecting coatings to stress through water
too soon.
Dr. Dittmers dealt furthermore with
osmotic blister formation and the causes
behind it. Here he particularly noted salt
content on steel surfaces.
The speaker proceeded to present the
findings of a test trial in which the
behavior of various coating systems dur-
ing the Salt Spray Test (in compliance
with ISO 7253 using 720 h of the appro-
priate C5 substances according to ISO
12 944-6) were studied following differ-
ent forms of steel preparation. The steel
preparation methods used were abrasive
dry blasting "Sa 2 'A" (AB), ultra-high-
pressure water blasting (UHP) and ultra-
high-pressure abrasive blasting
(UHPAB). The tests showed that the
most intensive coating infiltration (14.4
mm infiltration) occurred in the case of
abrasive blasting (AB). While distinctly
better results were achieved (9.9 mm
infiltration) using ultra-high-pressure
water blasting (UHP) than was the case
with abrasive blasting (AB), those sur-
face areas prepared using UHPAB
exhibited the best results (7.7 mm infil-
tration). Dr. Dittmers ascertained that
the common notion of an area blasted
using Sa 2 V2 being the best basis for
good surface protection must be ques-
tioned with a critical eye.
Dr. Greverath from Muhlhan Surface
Protection International GmbH.
Hamburg, described the development of
surface protection and used it to deduce
the following essential criteria for mod-
ern surface protection: steel preparation,
surface cleaning, climatization, coating
material, application of the coating
material, quality control and mainte-
nance. Meanwhile a technically high
status prevails in nearly all of these
fields. With respect to surface prepara-
tion, though technical development has
been accomplished in recent years, Dr.
Greverath nonetheless saw a consider-
able potential for optimization.
Environmental aspects were a particu-
larly driving force for UHP technology,
whereby the costs per square meter did
rise as a result. A different case in point,
however, was UHPAB. Here not only
environmental aspects are being taken
into consideration: the lowest total costs
in comparison to other processes are
being achieved as well. In addition,
using UHPAB an unparalleled high
quality of produced surface area can be
effected, and thus excellent conditions
for adhesion of the coating that follows,
because here one is dealing with a dust-
free process, it removes chlorides from
the surface and enables the shaping of
prescribed surface roughness. What also

afternoon demonstration of the process

in Liibeck's inner city was the obviously high level of
blasting performance. The physical principles behind
the UHPAB process were presented by Dr. Popplau. a
fluid mechanics expert from Caitec GmbH.
Norderstedt. It was explained that the basic idea of
two-stage acceleration, which in the case of UHPAB
means that blasting material is accelerated via com-
pressed air and ultra-high water pressure, is a) respon-
sible for the high blasting performance, and b) that the

with UHP. a process with such a high level of perform-
ance is naturally potentially dangerous. Dr. Popplau
has therefore developed a new type of "dead man's
switch" based on an electronic bus system. Different
from conventional dead man's switches, in this case
blasting is not generated a simple connection via a
switches, but instead by means of a secured digital net-
work connection between the dead man's switch and
the control unit of the pressure source. This method
prevents the system from being switched on uninten-

tionally. as can occur with UHP dead man's switches
when damaged cables in water have been short-circuit-
ed. Yet another advantage of this network link exists in
the possibility to transfer data between the blaster and
headquarters. This enables the blaster to switch back
and forth between the UHPAB. UHP. AB and air pro-
grams in order to apply the respectively optimal pro-
cessing option to the surface being worked on. This
worldwide innovation termed p-select was presented
for the first time in Liibeck. That the UHPAB process
deals not only with a safe blasting method, but an envi-
ronmentally friendly one as well, was underscored by
the presentation given by Dr. Michelsen from Muhlhan
Surface Protection International GmbH. Hamburg.

faces in an identical state. It furthermore became clear
that both the help of visual comparative samples and
the verbal description contribute toward making the
assessment of flash rust extremely subjective.
Measurement of the degree of flash rust with the help
of the Hempel Adhesive Strip Test proved to be quite
useful, but computer analysis of the color spectrum of
a surface photo could be a viable approach, too. On the
basis of a literature study Dr. Momper came to the
added conclusion that the impairment of coating sys-
tems' adhesion due to flash rust must be regarded very
discriminatingly. An intelligent coordination of the
degree of flash rust and the coating system selected can
eliminate this alleged problem. In contrast, according
to the statements made by Dr. Momber the situation is
different in the case of salts on the surface or with rust
impurified by salts. Salts lead to the formation of blis-
otactlon
ters underneath the coating and destroys it. Even fluc-
tuations in chloride content as low as 1 pg/m 2 can
influence the lifespan of coatings decisively because
ializeslitU
the correlation between blistering and salt content dis-
ijacts, p e t plays a steep gradient in the relevant sector. That cor-
relation is all the more noteworthy as salt content is not
being taken into consideration in hardly any standard.
In the interests of shipowners, whose main focus of
attention lies on as long a lifespan as possible, this
should change in the future. Also of interest to owners
would be to reduce the interpretive leeway for the
remaining influential factors. Keeping in line with this
idea. Dr. Momber presented a new surface standard
built to a certain extent upon known elements, yet one
which also takes "old" processes such as dry blasting
(AB) into consideration to the same degree as the
"new" UHPAB method.

Visions East Sells First System
Visions East sold its computerized yacht fairing and
painting technology. A new shipyard in Sweden pur-
chased a 54 m yacht system. It is being integrated in
Helsinki, Finland and will be installed and operational
by this summer. The new robotic system was con-
ceived and patented by Steve Morton, the founder and
President of Visions East. "Our technology will lead
the marine industry into the new era," said Morton.
The labor intensive fairing and painting methods of the
past are giving way to the efficiency of computer-con-
trolled automation. The patented technology is
designed to increase productivity, control costs and
improve the entire marine coatings process. Visions
East is also developing a wheeled version of their tech-
nology to perform computer-controlled surface prepa-
ration and coatings application for large commercial
and military vessels.

Nippon Paint Restructures
Nippon Paint is restructuring its marine coatings sub-
sidiary to increase its presence in the global marine
paint market for newbuildings, shiprepair and mainte-
nance. As part of a strategy to build up its marine coat-
ings business worldwide, Nippon Paint Co Ltd is
restructuring its specialized subsidiary company.
Nippon Paint Marine Coatings Co Ltd. Nippon Paint
Marine Coatings (NPMC) is being relaunched on
November 1, 2004. In the meantime, the company is
developing its capability to manufacture and supply
high-quality marine coatings and paints worldwide
under the Nippon Paint brand for newbuildings as well
as shiprepair and maintenance. NPMC will also pro-
vide technical services to customers for newbuildings In 1990. Nippon Paint became the first company to
and shiprepair in and outside Japan. "We shall be able develop and introduce a tin-free hydrolytic anti-fouling
to provide our customers throughout the world with coating, Ecoloflex. The company is currently working

marine coatings as of October 31. 2004. Until
then, NPMC will continue to service marine cus-
tomers under its ongoing product and delivery
system in association with International
Coatings. After October 31. 2004. NPMC will
also continue to supply International-brand prod-
ucts such as Intersleek and Intershield 300: the
company will manufacture these products and
sell them under NPMC brands.
Nippon Paint is expanding its overseas business
network by using manufacturing, sales, service
and logistic networks established by the NIPSEA
group |a part of Nippon Paint - see note 11. while
also establishing new bases at key locations in
Europe. America and the Middle East.
While its parent company, Nippon Paint, will
continue to handle basic research and develop-
ment. NPMC will be responsible for applications,
development and improvements. This arrange-
ment is intended to contribute to more efficient
utilisation of the technological resources avail-
able within the group.
NPMC's restructuring will be completed by
April I. 2004. This includes capital investment
by Wuthelam Holdings, based in Singapore.
Nippon Paint will contribute 60 per cent of the
capital investment, and Wuthelam 40 percent.

Training the Trainer to Keep Knowledge Afloat
Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding invests to maintain its skilled workforce.

By Jim Miller
Shipbuilding, like other industries that rely on a
skilled workforce, faces a serious problem: an alarm-
ing "knowledge loss" in the area of specialized
machining. Not only are many workers with machin-
ing expertise reaching retirement age, but fewer people
are entering the machine trade. There's also the cycli-
cal nature of shipbuilding which adds to the problem:
use of a specific piece of equipment or a particular skill
might occur only once every three or four years in the
process of constructing a submarine or carrier. In the
interim, these skill workers retire, are promoted or oth-
erwise change jobs. Gradually, the ability to use a piece
of equipment can be lost.
Northrop Grumman Newport News, a shipbuilding
customer of Climax Portable Machine Tools, recog-
nized a dwindling level of expertise among its workers
in the use of our portable boring bar equipment in the
construction of submarines and carriers. Northrop
Grumman Newport News is the nation's sole designer,
builder and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carri-
ers and one of only two companies capable of design-
ing and building nuclear-powered submarines. Like
many companies, Newport News realized that unless
its skilled machinists improved and shared their
knowledge, skills could very well be permanently lost.

SeaWave® helps manage your voice communication costs more easily using Least Cost Routing technology
to automatically find the best available rate for all calls placed on board your vessel. SeaWave virtually
eliminates administration associated with your communications investment by preparing a comprehensive
and understandable billing statement that may be viewed on board the vessel, sent to payroll or invoiced
directly m e a c h user - SeaWave saves you time and money.

SeaWave provides land-like data communications for a fraction of the cost of most other services.
SeaWave's proprietary Throughput Technology Software (TTS) utilizes superior compression,
advanced signal processing and a T o w overhead - light application to move data more efficiently
over Satellite, HF & GSM. This means more data throughput in less time. If you are sending data
now, let SeaWave simplify and streamline y o u r coWWBunications - If you are not routinely using
e-mail now, see how SeaWave can make it more affordable a n d more powerful than ever before.
