SHIP COSTS & ENERGY 82 September 30 - October 1, — New York, NY The New York Metropolitan Section of SNAME, in conjunc- tion with T&R Panel 0-36 (Eco- nomic Analysis of Marine Trans- portation Systems), The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, will present from Sep- tember 30th to October 1st a "Symposium on Ship Costs and Energy." This symposium is a follow-up on the most successful "Shipboard Energy Conservation Symposium" held in 1980 and is being held due to the many re- quests for an updating on this vital subject. The symposium ses- sions will be held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. During the Technical Sessions, 26 papers will be presented along with one panel discussion. The keynote paper, "Ship Costs and Energy Conservation from an Owner's Point of View," will be given by Eugene K. Pentimonti, vice president, engineering, Amer- ican President Lines, at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, September 30, and will set the tone of the sympo- sium. Following the keynote paper, the symposium will split into two concurrent sessions. The "Ship Costs" portion will address ship- building and ship operating costs. The recent economic environment of double-digit inflation, high in- terest and exchange rates, has been complicated by changing vessel designs, new pollution and safety regulations, and energy shortages. This highly dynamic situation did not exist 10 years ago. The sessions will focus on analyses and reduction of costs. At the end of the first day's ses- sion a panel discussion of "Ship- building and Ship Operating Costs" will be held. "Energy" as a separate but re- lated topic will concentrate on the technical aspect of design and operation. Many innovative changes in traditional approaches have taken place. New energy- efficient designs, practical oper- ational alternatives and conver- sions for increased fuel efficiency will be addressed. Luncheons have been sched- uled for both Thursday and Fri- day in the Empire Room of the hotel. Prof. Harry Benford, Uni- versity of Michigan, will speak at the Thursday luncheon, and the Hon. Harold E. Shear, Mari- time Administrator, Department of Transportation, will speak at the Friday luncheon. A no-host general reception will take place on Thursday eve- ning at 6:00 p.m. in the Hilton Room.
