  • Trading ships for the future

    Authors

    W Bolitho

    Date published

    1994

    Abstract

    Although there are plenty of opportunities both domestically and internationally facing a small but well-trained commercially and technically skilled Australian flag shipping industry the prospects for the future are bleak. Industrial problems of the past and the unsuitable industrial structure inherited from Britain are outlined but they are not the current problem. The high cost and fairly inefficient ports through which vessels must pass and the subsidised competition from road and rail limit growth of coastal trades. Internationally there is competition from untaxed and largely unregulated ships operating out of tax havens. Only the government can remove these handicaps to the Australian shipping industry.

  • Turbine plants in large ships: modern marine steam turbine plants

    Authors

    G A Larsen

    Abstract

    Lecture paper given by author in Trondheim on January 8th, 1970. It deals with the technical development of steam turbine plants by using statistical information (mainly relating to ships powered by STAL-LAVAL AP turbines). This covers machinery, systems and plant and control and instrumentation. It then goes on to look at operating characteristics and experience (with regard to performance and mechanical behaviour). Then the service provisions that need to be made in order to establish and maintain good performance and function are examined. Finally, some general views regarding the further development are put forward.
