SNAME Technical Meeting Notice - October


Propeller Slip in Relation to Propeller Performance

Presented by Mrs. Elizabeth Charmley of Seaspan

As container ships increase in size, new design territory is entered by ship designers. Propellers are getting larger to accommodate the ever increasing size of container ships and as a result, are often pushing the traditional design limits. This study looks specifically at the relationship between propeller slip and ship performance, and tries to establish a relationship between propeller slip and efficiency to determine to what extent propeller slip influences propeller efficiency.

SNAME/CIMarE/SAE Joint Technical Meeting Notice - April


The Potential of LNG as a Marine Fuel

The large-scale adoption of natural gas (methane) as a fuel is potentially one of the most significant trends to emerge for the marine industry in many decades. The marine industry in the Pacific Northwest, and in British Columbia in particular, is uniquely positioned to adopt LNG (and CNG) technology that offers both significant environmental and economic advantages, due to the abundance of supply, the proximity of infrastructure, a favourable pricing regime, and a potentially large vessel base that can employ proven technology. This Technical Meeting will provide an introduction to the current status of natural gas as a marine fuel in 2012, covering issues of supply, regulatory regime, engine technology, and vessel design. The presentations will also identify the challenges in each of these sectors that will need to be addressed to realise the full potential of natural gas as a marine fuel.
