MAN Diesel has added another member to its family of two-stroke licensees with the signing of a contract with Zhenjiang CME Co., Ltd. (ZJCME), the Chinese engine manufacturer. The new licensee is a subsidiary of the giant, state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) industrial conglomera...

GenSets are frequently seen to have extended service intervals due to their steady state loading. Large two strokes are generally seen to have longer service intervals in propulsion duty than equivalent four strokes. In the end it's all up to supplying clean fuels and lubes of the proper quality. Se...

CHN&O are generally not run as part of a standard fuel quality assessment If you want the total spectrum you would also add ASTM D-240 gross heat of combustion and calculate the net heat based on Hydrogen content or perhaps an FCA (Fuel Combustions Analysis) To identify all components of a fuel ...

ISO8217-2005 is the latest standard and provides the limits for all grades. RME180 and RMF180 are the 2 grades for 180cst. The major differences being the limits for Micro Carbon Residue 15%m/m vs 20%m/m, Ash 0.10%m/m vs 0.15%m/m and Vanadium 200ppm vs 500ppm. Don't quite understand your term "...

I would check IEEE, the particular class society for the vessel or other flag state regulations for the specdifics. Soundslike a workboat or fishing vessel if all is in the ER so in many cases these has seperate rules/regulations.

Seems the laker Walter McCarthy holed while approaching it's layup berth in Duluth and settled on the bottom in about 20 feet of water. Water covers the 4 main engines so plans are ongoing for temporary patch and dewatering.

Not uncommon to see elevated cat fines in BC residual fuels above 40-50ppm Distillates have been generally good worldeide. Only funny thing to note that in Greece they color the GasOil (DMA) black. Strange but true.

Sort of an "oscillating" Wankel principle. Keep up the spirit.

NORTHERN ADVENTURE Needs Oil Change January 5: B.C. Ferries' 2004-built ro/ro NORTHERN ADVENTURE (ex SONIA) had an automatic engine shut down triggered by contaminated oil on January 3, canceling her departure from Bella Bella, British Columbia to Prince Rupert. Poor weather was cited as a further r...

Are there many Scotch Marine propulsion boilers left around? I agree with your recommendations however, one would think new licensees and upgraders as well would be grilled on more pertinent subject matter. :roll: Good luck with your exams! Glad I am on my final renewal of my ticket.

1.025 One however, wouldhave to be in dire straights to operate a boiler on salt water. Looks like the US isn't the only place where the inspectors don't have both oars in the water. Good luck on your exams.
