Abstract:
International requirements for improving energy efficiency and environmental protection and the necessary goals for their implementation in the marine industry are an actual problem. To integrate state-of-the-industry technologies and marine specialists education, the training complex is proposed. It is based on the platform of a hardware-software complex with the ability to integrate training equipment, simulators and software. That makes such a training complex multitask, universal, and flexible in achieving a variety of tasks and goals. The complex also implements high-quality education and training of marine specialists, conducting research after processing working out the results of engineering modelling of structural, thermal power, hydraulic, electrical, electronic, multi-physical and other solutions. The need to use the training complex allows us to form the necessary competence of the engine team personnel, develop methods and criteria for assessing competence, evaluate and demonstrate practical skills.

Abstract:
On 10 November 1997 the BHP Petroleum-operated Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) crude oil facility the Griffin Venture suffered an unprecedented mechanical failure of a gas turbine engine. The power turbine casing was breached resulting in an explosion and fire within the engine room space. The incident was safely controlled without personnel injury in what was a world class emergency response effort.The engine failure was caused by an unusual form of crack propagation known as stress assisted grain boundary oxidation (SAGBO) of the engine's high pressure power turbine disc. The incident also identified a number of safety system improvements, many of which could be applicable to other facilities. These included smoke impairment of the accommodation (designated temporary safe refuge) because of leaking fire doors, failure to release the engine package fire extinguishing system and failure of the fire detection system due to short circuit intolerance nine minutes after the incident commenced.The facility was repaired in Singapore by Sembawang Shipyard where new engine cores were fitted and many of the safety systems were upgraded. Production resumed in March 1998 since when the Griffin Venture has produced above target oil volumes and record gas volumes.

Abstract:
Abstract The article presents the impact of viscosity of fuel on its atomization, which constitutes an important element of controlling the quality of the fuel-air mixture in compression ignition and direct injection engines. An experiment has been made using a three-hole atomizer of an engine with nominal power of 110 kW and revolutions n = 2800 min−1. Fuel was delivered by a PRW-2M injection pump intended for testing injectors. Fuel was sprayed in the atmospheric air. Three petroleum product liquids used for the experiment had a viscosity of, respectively, 3.93, 16.73 and 36.41 mm2/s. The fuel droplet size in a spray was determined by the laser diffraction method by means of a Spraytec STP 5929 analyzer. The quantity adopted for comparative purposes was the Sauter Mean Diameter D32. The results confirmed that a change of fuel viscosity within the range recommended by ship engine manufacturers has a strong impact on the size of sprayed fuel droplets. Shipowners have a limited choice of low sulphur fuel grade (up to 0.1% S), which forces the engine room personnel to use currently available fuels. Depending on the supplier, marine fuels may vary in viscosity and, according to the recommendations of engine manufacturers, they do not require heating. The increase in the size of the droplets injected into the fuel combustion chamber may affect the quality of the fuel-air mixture, increase of fuel consumption and a greater content of harmful exhaust constituents.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT On January 20, 1983, the Liberian-registered 138,823 dwt vessel M/T Tifoso stranded on the northeast reef line of the Island of Bermuda at 32°28′25″ N, 64°46′08″ W. The ship was in ballast and contained approximately 450 tons of No. 6 fuel oil and 300 tons of No. 2 fuel oil and lubricating oil. Bermuda had developed an oil spill contingency plan in 1980, but this incident was the first major threat to the island's marine environment and the first test of the plan. This paper outlines the events leading to the spill, the state of readiness of a small island with a tourist-based economy, the contingency plan, and the response. Due to a previous arrangement with the U. S. government, the U. S. Coast Guard Atlantic Strike Team responded with equipment and personnel. Using additional equipment and personnel based on Bermuda and also U.S. Coast Guard pumps, most of the bunkered oil was removed (approximately 470 tons) and contained within 48 hours of grounding. Because of the existence of the contingency plan, previous training of Bermudians by the U.S. Coast Guard, and the rapid action of the Coast Guard strike team, an effective response was achieved. Approximately 20 tons of oil were spilled from the flooded engine room when the vessel was refloated. However, due to fortuitous weather conditions, no oil reached Bermuda's shores.

Abstract:
The present study analyses whether the stress and strain experienced by seafarers differ between the various occupational groups on board container ships. In a maritime field study, 323 sailors on 22 container ships were asked to complete a questionnaire and were biometrically surveyed. In addition, a survey of energy expenditure and heart rate (variability) was carried out with the SenseWear® armband monitor and the Polar RS800 watch, respectively. The activity data objectively collected by the armband monitor showed an average sleep duration of 5.0 h per day, with particularly short sleep episodes amongst nautical officers. This occupational group also significantly more frequently reported sleep deficits (67%). The highest work-related energy expenditure per day was among the deck ratings (801 kcal), followed by the engine room personnel (777 kcal), and finally the nautical officers (568 kcal). The last-mentioned group, who were also the most likely to experience mental stress in the workplace, had the lowest heart rate variability compared to the other occupational groups. The average working time was the only stress parameter that correlated significantly negatively with the heart rate variability (r = −0.387; p = 0.002). Overall, job-related stressors of seafarers on board should be objectified in further studies and occupational group-specific health promotion programmes should be developed.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Ship fires are a rare occurrence, or at least they are supposed to be! In the Houston area, there were five significant ship fires from April 1997 to March of 1998—the most anyone can remember. Three of these occurred since November, and two of these are worth reviewing to look at the organization and strategies developed to mitigate the events. Also of interest is how the event transitioned from the emergency response phase of fire suppression operations to the ongoing mitigation phase of pollution response operations. The M/V Stolt Spirit fire occurred on 11 November 1997, when afire started in the engine room during bunkering operations. Response resources battled the conflagration for over 54 hours before finally bringing the stubborn fire under control. The M/V Katania fire occurred on 9 March 1998, when a Class-? cargo fire was discovered during loading operations. Response forces battled this fire for over 14 hours before bringing it under control. Both of these fires had many similarities, including many of the same response personnel. Due to legal constraints, there were no comprehensive lessons learned from the Stolt Spirit fire, but many responders who worked both fires ensured that some of the problems noted on the first incident were not repeated. Success can be measured in various ways, but one key to that success is the implementation of a Unified Command to develop response objectives, mitigate the incident, and meet their various jurisdictional requirements.

Abstract:
Detta är en kvalitativ intervjustudie som undersöker maskinpersonalens upplevelser av att använda headsetkommunikation i arbetet ombord. Totalt sex stycken maskinbesättningsmedlemmar intervjuades om deras upplevelser av hur headsetkommunikation har påverkat utförandet av arbetet, personlig säkerhet och tidseffektivitet. Resultaten som framkom av intervjuerna visar på att kommunikationen förbättrats med headsetkommunikation genom att talkommunikationen inte begränsas av höga bullernivåer vilket leder till minskad röstbelastning. De intervjuade vittnade om att den förbättrade kommunikationen underlättade i arbetet och ökade den personliga säkerheten genom att risken för missförstånd minskade samt att maskinbesättningens situationsmedvetenhet ökade. Förbättrad ergonomi vid svåra arbetsställningar i trånga utrymmen jämfört med handburna radioapparater upplevdes även det som en fördel med headsetkommunikation. Tidsåtgången i arbetet upplevdes minska när tillgängligheten till andra besättningsmedlemmar på kommunikationsradio ökade eftersom det minskade behovet av att förflytta sig för att kommunicera samtidigt som det kan leda till snabbare responstider. Den ökade tillgängligheten upplevdes även kunna leda till att olyckor inom maskinrummet upptäcks snabbare till följd av att ett uteblivet svar på radioanrop kan ses som ett avvikande beteende.
This is a qualitative interview study researching the experience engine room personnel have with using headset communication in their work onboard. A total of six crewmembers were interviewed about their experiences and how headset communication had affected their ability to perform their work, personal safety and time efficiency. The results showed that communication had improved with the use of headsets and that speech communication where no longer limited by high noise levels which in turn leads to less strain on the voice. The interviewed crew members testified that the improved communication facilitated their work and enhanced the personal safety by decreasing the risk for misunderstandings and increasing their situational awareness. Increased ergonomics in situations with difficult working postures and limited space in comparison with hand held radios were also observed as an advantage with headset communication. Time efficiency was perceived to improve since the availability of other crewmembers on the radio increased and decreased the need for moving to another area to communicate which at the same time lead to faster response times. Increased availability of crewmembers on the radio could also shorten the time before an accident in the engine room is detected since a failure to answer a radio call would be seen as irregular behavior.

Abstract:
An individual’s personal information can be a valuable commodity to terrorists. With such data, terrorists can engage in a variety of illicit activities including creating false bank accounts, procuring various official documents or even creating mass panic. Unfortunately, such personal data is generally easy to access, exchange, or collect via online media including Web sites, chat rooms, or e-mails. Moreover, certain common business practices, particularly those related to data processing in international outsourcing, can facilitate such activities by placing personal information into a legal grey area that makes it easy to misuse. For these reasons, organizations and individuals need to be aware of the potential for such data misuse as well as be informed of steps they can take to curtail such abuses. This essay examines the privacy/data abuse problems related to international outsourcing and presents approaches designed to prevent the misuse of personal information by cyber terrorists.

Abstract:
A two-part assignment was designed which paired students together using e-mail technology that required them to engage in peer teaching. This allowed us to study computer-mediated communication that was not part of a discussion group or chat room. An analysis of the e-mails revealed that males and females did not differ in frequency, length or use of social incentives. Males sent slightly more status enhancement messages while females sent more status recognition messages. Significant gender differences occurred, however, in the use of apologies and in how personal weaknesses or bad experiences were characterized. Unexpectedly, university affiliation was more significant than gender in the amount of self-disclosure.

Abstract:
Some educators become troubled when they watch award ceremonies for teachers and news segments about schools. Very often in those settings, videos show teachers engaged in dramatic, highly animated activity. Nearly all have bold person­alities, and students’ enthusiasm can verge on frenetic. Why might educators be troubled about these images of education? Because the implicit message seems to be that full- throttle dramatic behavior equates with teaching. That groups jumping and shouting equates with learning. Animation can be delivered on a sliding scale that we turn up or turn down, based on students’ learning needs and desires. Varying intensities of verbal and nonverbal communication are important for all teachers to master. Vocal expression and vol­ume, posture, eye contact and expression, gestures, movement, and proximity— all are behaviors that contribute to our animation and teaching personae. If we generate all the energy and excitement in the room, we may be missing out on helping all our students learn. If we treat teaching as entertainment, as our performance of the lesson, we may be missing out on learning how our students learn. Variation in intensities and types of animation is pedagogi­cally sound and educationally warranted. Quiet and calm may need infusions of bold and invigorated. Boisterous and loud may need times of peaceful and hushed . . . all for the benefit of stu­dent learning. A self- check may help us reflect on teaching tendencies and ponder the point at which our entertainer personalities may be subduing students’ learning. • Are we the primary generator of ideas during our classes? • Do we rely on quips, jokes, and teasing to engage students? • Does our level of animation and drama drive the class and the lesson? • Does the proportion of our teacher- talk greatly outweigh student- talk? • Do we value quiet, hesitant student contributions as much as eager, enthusiastic ones? It is every teacher’s challenge to notice and adapt for the benefit of students. Whether our comfort lies in being “a sage on the stage” or “a guide at the side,” we know that we likely need to do both for the benefit of students’ learning.

Abstract:
In 2006, Amtrak instituted a program that coupled Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) with Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to increase rolling stock reliability. The RCM-RCA program at Amtrak combined features of RCM and RCA into a unique methodology to achieve success. A case study of the High Horsepower electric locomotive (HHP-8) power module failure RCA project is described in this paper. The initial focus of the RCA was a persistently high failure rate of power modules. Power modules are expensive to purchase and labor intensive to replace. Additionally, power module failures take locomotives out of revenue service. Partially as a result of the HHP-8 Power Module RCA project, and the implemented recommendations, the availability of the HHP-8 locomotive fleet has improved by 80%. Changes were made to the maintenance, condition monitoring, and troubleshooting procedures for HHP-8 as a result of the RCA project. The physical, human, and latent root causes for the high failure rate of HHP-8 Power Modules, were determined and addressed during this six month effort. A cross-functional team of AMTRAK personnel worked closely with reliability consultants and the original equipment manufacturers to determine the various root causes. This case study is a valuable example of how the hands-on nature of a rigorous RCA coupled with the methodology of RCM can result in significant improvements to reliability and availability.

Abstract:
There are the inevitable occasions when something goes wrong despite the great care taken when engines are designed, built, operated and serviced. Failures can lead at best to some cost and inconvenience or at the worst to a totally destroyed engine. The cost of repairs, followed sometimes by many weeks of down time, can be enormous. In addition there is the critical question of safety and the risk of injury to personnel. By analyzing failures and their causes a lot of experience can be gained and used to the benefit of all. This experience can improve future products. The paper describes some failures which have been experienced by the authors and shows how an analysis of the evidence has identified the root cause. We show how the knowledge gained improves our ability to predict engine behavior and the stress field in the components concerned. The paper goes on to describe what measures can be taken to improve the product and to prevent the circumstances from happening again. The use of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is described because experience gained from failures can make this an extremely powerful tool when used during the design process.

Abstract:
Modern aircraft engines are equipped with sophisticated sensing instruments to enable proactive condition monitoring and effective health management capability. Development of intelligent systems that efficiently process sensor and operational data both onboard and off-board, to provide maintenance personnel with timely decision support, is the key to minimize flight service disruption and reduce engine ownership cost. The goal of this research is to develop a practical approach and strategy to leverage various available information sources and modeling techniques to streamline the engine health management process and maximize system accuracy and efficiency. This paper demonstrates a flexible fusion architecture that encapsulates the key elements of the engine monitoring and diagnostic process, i.e., sensor trend analysis module for anomaly detection, feature selection and fault isolation module for root cause identification, a decision module for diagnostic model fusion and action determination, and finally, a feedback module for knowledge validation and continuous learning. At the core of this engine health management system is a diagnostic fusion model designed around a common fault hierarchy which captures both a priori probabilities and interactions among various engine faults isolated by different classification models. The fusion model will resolve conflicting assessments from individual diagnostic models and provide a more accurate and comprehensive engine state estimate.

Abstract:
The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) wished to improve personnel training in a way that would prevent gas turbine failures on Navy ships and thereby save maintenance dollars. To determine what areas of training could provide the most benefit, NAVSEA and the Westinghouse Machinery Technology Division (MTD) systematically reviewed all gas turbine removals in the fleet during a three year period to establish which failures were most common and which might have been prevented by better operating or maintenance training. Several independent sources of maintenance data were correlated to develop one master list of training-related removals with all available information on each. Fleet Technical Support Center (FTSC) personnel, NAVSEA’s waterfront technical representatives, were interviewed about specific failures and general maintenance problems they encounter in their daily work. By correlating all the data, a most probable root cause was assigned to each removal, and training improvements that could prevent similar failures were described for all applicable failures. The training improvements recommended could prevent approximately 36 percent of unscheduled gas turbine engine removals. This percentage varies drastically with engine model.
