In addition to cruise liner vessels, there are more and more supply ships, LNG carrier and contain- erships which are using electric propul- sion technologies." "Greater safety requirements and stricter environmental regulations are requiring that shipyards and suppliers of marine equipment come up with new solutions," said Linne. In addition, com- petition is forcing the shipping compa- nies and operators to continually increase the operational availability and safety of their ships, to make optimum use of every square meter of space on board and, at the same time, to reduce operating costs. Siemens has expanded this platform strategy: "Siship PAX" for cruise ships and ferries are platform solutions for all the electrical and electronic equipment on board, linking propulsion technology, power generation and distribution, ship automation and data networks as well as the associated maintenance and spare- parts services. They also improve ener- gy efficiency and operational safety and security on board. For use on LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) tankers, the "Siship Cargo" platform is designed to offer a complete solution, including cargo automation with a hybrid power generation, distribution and propulsion system, which enables the use of gaseous and liquid fuels at the same time. As a result, the boil-off of the liq- uefied natural gas as well as heavy-oil and diesel fuels can be used. With Siship Drive LV, Siemens is offering an electric propulsion solution for offshore and special ships as a fuel- saving and highly dynamic kind of propulsion. This solution includes most- ly pre-configured components that are specially designed to meet ship-building requirements, such as generators, con- verters, switchgears and propeller motors. Control and safety systems spe- cially developed for this application ensure high availability and failure safe- ty under practically any operating and ambient conditions. Circle 24 on Reader Service Card Sudanese Transport Minister visits Schottel With his visit to Schottel in Spay, Germany, the new Sudanese Transport Minister Kol Manyang Jok underscored the major role played by the company and its propulsion systems in the devel- opment of transportation in his country. In July, at the Ministry of Transport in Khartoum in July 2005, a contract for the modernization of 16 existing push boats with Schottel propulsion systems was signed. This conversion and mod- ernization package is worth around $7.5 million. Circle 25 on Reader Service Card ! T L A N T I C - A R I N E ) N C L O C A T E D I N - O B I L E !
