11:00 am—"From Cruiser Car Ferries to Cargo-Carrying Cruis- ers," by Markku M. Ranin This paper presents a chronologi- cal viewpoint of the car ferries/ passenger ferry services seen in the European marine service. The old, open-air, no-seating, uncomfortable open sea services are compared with the current level of luxury enjoyed by 6.5 million passengers annually in the ferry service between Finland and Sweden. 2:00 pm—"Determination of Car- go Damage Risk in Barge Collisions Using a Generalized Minorsky Mod- el and Monte Carlo Methods," by Glenn Bauer, David L. Gray, and Bruce L. Hutchison This paper presents a generaliza- tion of the Minorsky one-dimen- sional relationship of energy ab- sorbed and structural damage in ship collisions, developed further by the inclusions of Jones and Van Mater to account for structural re- sistance up to the point of failure. The resulting model is used to ana- lyze 12,500 randomly generated col- lision scenarios with a time domain simulation computer program. The results of the analysis are then com- pared with radioactive material (RAM) cash capabilities in order to Steering Committee David M. Donaldson, Chairman Donald K. Beckwith Edward W.

The author investigates both effects analytical- ly and establishes bounds of magni- tude for the establishment of pre- liminary design rules not available from finite element analysis. Mt. Bachelor Room 9:00 am—"Reliability and Human Factors in Marine Engineering Sys- tems," by Howard C. Blanding This paper will discuss marine engineering and industrial systems common to the offshore industry and the application of reliability en- gineering to such systems. Special attention is given to personal safety, environmental protection, and eco- nomic viability. 10:00 am—"A Guide for Ship Structural Inspections," by Nedret S. Basar and Victor W. Jovino It has been found that a need exists for the development of a (continued) High-Quality Components for Marine Applications Shown are only a few of the hundreds of high-quolity marine products available from a single source. Designed for a range of shipboard or offshore applications. Pressure Switches Broad choice of electromechanical or solid-state switches to provide shipwide pressure control Included are diaphragm, bourdon tube and sealed piston types: many are explosion-proof Unique Sounding Tape Ullage Indicator Self-contained battery-powered unit is convenient to use in shipboard and offshore tanks. Pressure Transmitters and Transducers swti'i A group of lightweight transmitters and transducers are ideal for monitoring the mechanical health' of shipboard machinery and systems and for gauging tank contents. Included are signal con- ditioned models and vibration versions for monitoring rotating machinery Single or Multi-Station Level J Switches Ruggedly built for use in liquids from crude to chemicals Broad choice includes single station with slosh shielding, oil/water inter- face models, externally mounted styles where access is limited, and multi-station units with up to six stations spaced to suit SureSite Liquid Level Indicators Bi-colored, interlocking magnetic Hags change ' color as float moves with changing liquid levels Meet requirements of MIL-I-20037B for ndirect reading sight glasses. Withstand shock and vibration. Unlike cloudy, break- £ 1 able sight glasses. T
