Investment in Design •-M program drawing in extensive European and U.S. participation will provide an important conduit for service results with pod systems. Called Pods in Ser- vice. and coordinated by the Dutch Mar- itime Research Institute MARIN, the project is intended to assess and evaluate the reliability and integrity of podded propulsors under operational conditions. In measuring performance, loads encountered by pods and the dynamic response of the pods and the vessel hull throughout the ship's service pattern, including extreme conditions, a key objective is to provide a method for determining and reflecting such loads at the design stage. The breadth of ascrip- tion by shipowners, yards, pod manufac- turers and classification societies and other bodies to the joint industry project militates in favor of a productive exchange of knowledge and experience. There are 24 partners in total. The prag- matic nature of the endeavor is under- scored by the fact that measurement campaigns will be conducted aboard four vessels equipped with three differ- Get state of the art firefighter training ^^^ without getting burned Receive U.S. Coast Guard approved marine firefighting certification from America's leading state-of-the-art firefighter training facility.
