TWELFTH IN A SERIES FROM KOCKUMS: The steam turbine tanker Turquoise, built and engined by Kockums Mek Verkstads AB, Malmo, Sweden, was recently de- livered to Compagnie Navale des Petroles of Paris. With a carrying cqpacity of 255,470 long tons or 259,560 metric tons, the vessel is the twelfth in the yard's current series of 20 such ships. The first of this series, also built for CNP, was delivered in January 1971. Built under special survey of Bureau Veritas, the Turquoise has an overall length of 1,117 feet, molded breadth of 1 70 feet, and a molded depth of 84 feet. Propulsion is by a set of cross-compound triple-reduction geared Kockum-Stal-Laval AP 32 type turbines developing 32,000 shp at 85 rpm. ARCTEC, Inc., Announces Formation Of Canadian Affiliate Roderick Y. Edwards Jr. ARCTEC, Incorporated of Columbia, Md., has announced the formation of a Canadian affiliate company, ARCTEC CANADA, Limit- ed. Roderick Y. Edwards Jr., formerly vice president for research at ARCTEC, Incorpor- ated, is the president of the new firm, with Dr. Bernard Michel of Laval University as vice president. Temporary offices are at 739 Des Vignes, Ste. Foy, Quebec City 10E, P.Q., Can- ada, and will be relocated to Montreal in the near future. The new firm is 50 percent Canadian owned, and offers consulting services for the cold reg- ions of the world, similar to that of ARCTEC, Incorporated. More specifically, the services include applied research and design studies for structures capable of withstanding ice forces. To support these services, ARCTEC CAN- ADA, Limited has under construction a new Canadian laboratory, which will be used to model and measure the forces during ice-struc- ture interactions. Two methods are now avail- able to either laboratory to simulate the ice cover during tests—real saline ice or a syn- thetic material. An ARCTEC patented process is used to grow the former, and the latter ma- terial was developed by Dr. Michel. The choice of methods to simulate the ice cover will de- pend upon the failure mode of the ice during the structural tests and the need to simulate a variety of different ice fields during the test program. Additional services provided by the firm in- clude : development of design criteria for off- shore structures in ice-covered waters; collec- tion of ice data in the field; design and model testing of fixed structures to act as ice-control devices such as ice booms, dikes, and dams; model icebreaking tests for icebreakers and car- goships; maneuvering tests of marine vehicles in simulated ice fields; modeling tests of ice growth and movement in rivers; model tests involving pressure ridges, and general consult- ing services related to cold regions technology. Mr. Edwards graduated from the Coast Guard Academy, and the Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology with a master of science degree. His previous experience includes three years as ARCTEC, Incorporated's vice presi- dent for research, and he is co-developer of the patented methods for growing model saline ice sheets in an ice-modeling laboratory. During this time, he has pioneered the development of ice-modeling techniques for ships, and has con- ducted numerous model tests of icebreaking ships and offshore structures in ice. His experi- ence includes participating in the icebreaking S/S Manhattan tests, and directing icebreak- ing tests aboard the Coast Guard icebreakers Mackinaw and Wind class. Dr. Michel is a graduate of the University of Grenoble, France, and of Laval University, Quebec. His major efforts have been in the field of ice mechanics, where he has written over 113 papers since 1957. Some of the projects with which he has been involved include the com- putation of ice forces on booms, laws of forma- tion, and studies of frazil ice, laws of breakup, including design of dams and ice control struc- tures, interaction of moving ice with piers, de- sign of berthing structures in ice, and the de- velopment of a new model ice material.
