HA350 gives better control of running trim and
improved maneouvring at speed is desired, but available space oſten is limited. Te interceptor is basically a smaller version of
the popular HA500 interceptor and produced in same high quality composite material. HA350 is also asymmetric as the HA500, which means that it comes in both a right and a leſt version, where the shaft is offset to one or the other side. The interceptor can withstand operational speeds of up to 50knots and above.

Bridge systems DSME and STX to install
Honeywell systems Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) and STX Offshore & Shipbuilding (STX) Shipbuilders have selected Honeywell to provide integrated automation systems on five new vessels. Honeywell has announced that DSME and STX will use Honeywell’s Integrated Automation Systems (IAS) in five vessels commissioned by ship owners in Norway, Russia and the US. Te projects are valued at more than US$8 million. DSME and STX will use IAS in vessels under
construction for the transportation of liquid natural gas (LNG). The IAS solution uses Honeywell’s Experion
Process Knowledge System (PKS), and will manage the machinery and cargo areas of the vessels, including the cargo emergency shutdown system. Honeywell’s solution enables the project teams to better manage and control operations and ensure that the vessels comply with strict global standards.

Engines MAN drives Russian gas
business Russian ship owner, Sovcomflot, has recently selected the dual-fuel MAN 51/60DF engine for an LNG carrier newbuilding programme comprising two confirmed vessels with an option for two more vessels. Te dual-fuel diesel electric propulsion system
and the MAN 51/60DF engine have been selected to provide the vessel with a highly efficient and low
16
emission propulsion system, especially when running in gas mode. A high degree of redundancy and the MAN 51/60DF engine’s multiple fuelling options have been also taken into account. Te vessels are currently under construction at
STX Offshore & Shipbuilding in South Korea and will each be driven by sets of two 8L and two 9L51/60DF engines. Te engines will be built at MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Augsburg plant in Germany with delivery to the Korean yard due in the fourth quarter of 2012. Te first vessel is expected to commence operation in the fourth quarter of 2013.
