architectural and engineering firm that
once occupied the 30th floor of One
World Trade Center in Manhattan.
At first the firm concentrated on ship
containerization and bulk transportation,
but it soon became noted for naval engi-
neering and ship design.
The company's current emphasis on
defense contracts came later. JJMA is
the lead naval architect of the winning
design for the U.S. Navy's DDX pro-
gram.
Though the firm was purchased in
1998 and formed an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) Trust, John J.
McMullen's influence and prosperity
remained.
Dr. McMullen has made numerous
innovations in ship design and construc-
tion, including systems installed in hun-
dreds of merchant, passenger and naval
ships.
McMullen attended the United States
Naval Academy and graduated in 1940
with a bachelor of science degree in
electrical engineering before serving
aboard the USS Yorktown (CV-5) and
the USS Stack (DD-406) during World
War II.
After the Korean War and 14 years of Circle 254 on Reader Service Card
service, he left the Navy and founded
John J. McMullen Associates.
McMullen held a master of science
degree in naval architecture and marine
engineering from MIT, and a doctorate
in mechanical engineering from the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in
Zurich.
He began building his fortune through
McMullen Associates and, eventually,
the steamship shipping agency Norton
Lilly International.
On top of his shipping accomplish-
ments, he became widely known with
his involvement in pro sports.
McMullen is survived by his wife of
50 years, Jacqueline; son, Peter, and his
wife, Cheryl; daughter Catherine; son
John Jr.; and five grandchildren.

On September 23, 2005, after extensive briefing on the issues, Judge Zloch

SWEEP, Inc. of Miami.
The following is a presentation of the design and the
engineering logic behind the creation, according to
Don Burg of SeaSpeed SWEEP, Inc.
Wave drag increases dramatically as ships operate
beyond hull speed. As such, the operating speeds of
most displacement hulls remains low. Wave drag
makes up 70 percent of total drag at 45 knots on a 400
ft. (122 m) length waterline (LWL) ship. Further, wave
drag has increased 25 times at 45 knots over its value
at 15 knots for that 122 m ship.
The bulbous bow is employed to reduce wave drag
and is used on most of today's ships where it reduces
total drag by 10-15 percent at high speeds. Friction
reducing air layers have also been employed; however,
friction drag makes up less than 20 percent of total
drag of our example 122 m ship at 45 knots. Air layers,
while effective at low speeds where friction drag pre-
dominates, only help marginally at high speeds.
What the patent pending SWEEP technology does is takes this a step further by accelerating the wave mak- merged bow. Such a rising air layer requires very lit-

Waterways Suitability Assessment: A Benchmark for All

safety record, but concerns are continually posed about
the safety of LNG.
Opponents claim the industry's attitude focuses on its
own needs rather than the safety of the general public,
while proponents cite the results of numerous studies
commissioned by private organizations, carried out by
respected companies including Lloyd's Register,
Sandia Laboratories and Quest, as well as government
bodies such as the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). The primary objective of these
studies was to demonstrate that the risks associated
with an LNG incident are minimal and above all, con-

There has clearly been a need to turn
these analyses into a single best practice
- a common approach to which the
industry could point when challenged.
This best practice was established on
June 14, 2005, when the US Coast
Guard (USCG) released its Navigation
and Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 05-
05, providing "Guidance on Assessing
the Suitability of a Waterway for
Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Marine
Traffic." The NVIC is intended to pro-
vide guidance on the marine traffic safe-
ty and security information that must be
submitted by those planning to build
and operate a shore-side terminal. This
information will then be used by USCG
in its role of advising FERC on the ade-
quacy of an applicant's Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and also to pro-
vide USCG with guidance when issuing
a Letter of Recommendation.

Lloyd's Register has already received a
number of requests for assistance on

currently available. However, this does

The T50 gasketed plate heat exchang-

er from Alfa Laval is reportedly the
world's largest of its kind for marine and
land-based applications. The T50 is
designed to meet the demands of mod-
ern engines for increasingly larger ves-
sels and industrial plants.
Cooling large engines at reasonable
costs requires sufficiently large flow
rates at low velocities and with minimal
pressure loss. The T50 plate heat
exchanger uses available pump pressure
for heat transfer while reducing the pres-
sure losses in ports and connections,
contributing to savings in terms of capi-
tal expenditures and operating costs.
The T50 has a 500 mm port to ensure Circle 255 on Reader Service Card
that its flow rate is as large as possible.
To provide the best capacity, it also has
a large heat transfer surface area
(approximately 3.5 sq. m. per plate).
However, although the T50 is one of the
world's largest plate heat exchanger, it is
also the world's most compact solution
for cooling large engines and therefore
occupies less space than other solutions.
This translates into savings in installa-
tion costs since fewer pumps are
required and in operating costs since
fewer exchangers are required to heat
the same volume of media.
The T50 has a new plate system that is
designed to improve heat exchanger per-
formance for large cooling require-
ments. The system enables three basic
plates (low-theta, medium-theta and
high-theta) to be combined in five dif-
ferent channel arrangements. This
allows heat exchanger design to be opti-
mized to specific temperature programs.

Virtual Reality Preps Crews for High-Risk Ops
In the Incident Configurator tool that VSTEP made for the Port of Rotterdam authorities, an instructor can configure an incident to his preference. He can choose from three ship types, set the location
(inside the harbour or on open sea), and set some weather conditions like wind direction and force. Students subsequently experience the incident from a viewpoint of an incident response ship. In a class-
room, they discuss the best way of attacking the fire.
Crews operating in high-risk environ- called, focus on delivering better ways low cost. Serious games are unlikely to extinguishing a real helicopter, makes

Platform (ETLP) and Single Column
Floater (SCF) designs. Combined with J
Ray's existing SPAR technology and
Keppel FELS' semi-submersible expert-
ise, FloaTEC, LLC will be in a unique
position to provide a wide range of solu-
tions for deepwater developments. Eric
H. Namtvedt was named COO, joining

ConocoPhillips Makes Discovery
Off Australia
ConocoPhillips announced a discovery in the Caldita
No. 1 exploration well in the NT/P 61 license located
offshore Northern Territory Australia. The well spud-
ded on July 7, 2005, and encountered a significant
hydrocarbon column in a high-quality reservoir inter-
val. A drill stem test was conducted that flowed gas at
a rate of approximately 33 million standard cubic feet
per day on a one-inch choke.
The well reached a total depth of 4,037 meters and
will be plugged and abandoned as programmed.
Technical evaluation to assess the further appraisal and
development of the Caldita discovery is in progress.
NT/P 61 is located in the Timor Sea approximately 265
kilometers north northwest of Darwin. The Caldita No.
1 well was drilled in 137 meters of water. The NT/P 61
license is jointly held by an affiliate of ConocoPhillips
(operator, 60 percent) and Santos Offshore Pty. Ltd.
(40 percent).
