Wartsila Vasa 20
Engines Chosen For
German Container Ships
Daewoo Shipbuilding & Heavy
Machinery Ltd. of South Korea has
ordered six Wartsila Vasa 20 auxil-
iary engines for two container ships
to be built for Norddeutsche
Vermogen (NVA) Hamburg. Each
ship will include three Vasa 6R20's
driving alternators of 860 kW/900
rpm.
The auxiliary engines are speci-
fied to operate, from start to stop, on
heavy fuel oil up to 600 cSt, which is
the same fuel as that for the main
engines.
The engines will be supplied by
the Wartsila Diesel factory in Vaasa,
Finland, in June 1993 to meet the
delivery time of the ships in Janu-
ary and early February 1994.
The choice of the Vasa 6R20 was
reportedly based on the shipowner's
long satisfactory experience with
Wartsila Vasa auxiliary engines
operated on heavy fuel oil onboard a
large number of ships.
The Wartsila Vasa 20 engine rep-
resents the latest medium speed
engine technology and includes sev-
eral new innovations to secure long
service life time, low fuel oil con-
sumption and easy maintenance.
Competitiveness for the Wartsila
Vasa 20 engine is assured by using
the latest production technology at
the Wartsila Diesel factory in Vaasa.

MSI Publication Describes
New Concepts In
Marine Simulator Training
Technology update, training in-
centives and proficiency certifica-
tion are among the innovative con-
cepts described in a new publication
issued by MarineSafety Interna-
tional (MSI). The new six-page docu-
ment outlines the objectives and
coverage of over two dozen simula-
tor-based courses which have been
developed for deck officers and pi-
lots, ship's engineers and Vessel
Traffic Service (VTS) personnel.
The training is available at MSI's
simulation centers at Kings Point,
N.Y., Newport, R.I., and, in Septem-
ber, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The new approaches described are
based on lessons learned from MSI's
parent corporation, FlightSafety
International, a leader in aircraft
pilot training.
MSI will award a proficiency card
to officers who have demonstrated
their ability to control a large ship in
a crowded harbor or waterway. The
award will be based on a carefully
structured course sponsored by the
officer's company. Dr. Eugene
Guest, MSI's director said, "The ul-
timate purpose of this program is to
provide a set of standards through
which an individual pilot or ship's
officer or employer can determine
and document professional profi-
ciency." MSI is backing up their
ProCard™ with a free simulator
analysis of any shiphandling inci-
dent in which the holder is involved
and a fifteen percent discount on
refresher training.
Other features described in the
MSI publication are technology up-
dates which are provided with each
course and optional proficiency check
points for self-evaluation. Many of
MSI's courses have been approved
by the U.S. Coast Guard for seatime
equivalency.
