Te first phase of work will involve the concept design of the engine, which will range from market surveys, outline component and system specification and initial supplier selection to the production of a full concept design layout. In the second phase of the programme the design of the engine will be developed in detailed form, supported by extensive use of computer aided engineering methods. Te penultimate phase will see the procurement of parts and build of the V16 gas variants of the H32/40 series power generation and marine propulsion family of engines.

updates Creative Systems, Inc has added new functionality to its General HydroStatics (GHS) soſtware. Version 11.50 of the package includes the ability to run an analysis for accidental oil outflow performance required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Tis regulation will apply to all ships delivered on or aſter August, 2010. “We focus on the tool, not the regulation,” explains Bill Plice, Creative Systems president and the creator of GHS soſtware. “In that way we give the power to the naval architects and engineers to interpret the regulations and design a vessel accordingly.” Meanwhile, the company has been broadening
its representation to take into account new market demand. Company business manager, Julie Knott, says: “For instance, we’ve always had a presence in China, but we have a much stronger presence with the addition of Singtong Marine & Offshore, our newest GHS distributor.” In its first year as a GHS distributor, Singtong brought GHS to several naval architecture and engineering firms, including a key university. Singtong has the technical expertise to train customers, as well as distribute GHS soſtware.
