Ship Propulsion Basic Principles of Ship Propulsion  18/01/2012

For the purpose of this paper, the term “ship” is used to denote a vehicle employed to transport goods and persons from one point to another over water. Ship propulsion normally occurs with the help of a propeller, which is the term most widely used in English, although the word “screw” is sometimes seen, inter alia in combinations such as a “twin-screw” propulsion plant.

MAN B&W Double-Jib Crane Kow-headroom Engine Overhauling Crane  18/01/2012

In the late 1970s, MAN Diesel & Turbo in Copenhagen conducted an investigation into the building-in heights of engine room cranes, and found that, at that time, all engine room cranes on the market required far too much headroom. We therefore decided to develop a particularly low-headroom crane, for which we were granted patents in many countries. The further development of this crane led to the ‘MAN B&W double-jib crane’.

Heading for 30,000 Operating Hours on HFO GenSets  22/09/2004

A 12-page paper, based on customer feedback: CP Ships (UK) Limited has achieved a very promising 24,000 hours operating interval with MAN B&W Holeby L28/32H GenSets, and the owner is now heading for 30,000 hours before the main overhaul.

Installation Aspects of MAN B&W Main and Auxiliary Enignes  08/10/2002

When the required vessel power profile has been evaluated and determined, both with regard to propulsion load and electrical load, the next step is to design the engine room configuration so that it will also be optimal with regard to installation, operation and maintenance. MAN B&W Holeby has not only looked at this as an isolated case for the L16/24 type auxiliary engines but, as described in the following, has also looked at it in relation to the MAN B&W twostroke main engine on board.
