Taking on the BT global challenge

During a week of festivities held at London's historic St. Katharine's Dock, IMarE staff members: Ken Anderson, Anne Dewar, Andrea East and Karen Spencer, experienced what conditions can be like onboard the round-the-world BT Global Challenge racing yacht Large1. All that was missing was a wind of 76kt, 70ft waves and a wind chill factor of -30ºC.
Large1's skipper Manley Hopkinson, AMIMarE, is a surveyor for the IMarE's Small Ships Group (SSG). This group was established in 1993 in response to a growing interest in small craft engineering, and to provide for the needs of marine surveyors, consulting engineers and designers of vessels including private pleasure and small commercial craft up to 45m in length.
The UK Prime Minister Tony Blair greeted Manley and his crew earlier in the week and asked many questions about the team, the yachts, the race itself. The team then had photographs taken outside the famous façade of No. 10 Downing Street.
After the week's festivities the BT Global Challenge 2000/01 fleet sailed back to race headquarters in Southampton, where the fleet will be based until 10 September when the third running of the Challenge begins. Until then, the custom yachts will be prepared for the world's toughest yacht race.
15 yachts will set sail and each will have a professional skipper and a crew of 17 volunteers. Few if any will have had ocean racing experience. For 10 months the yachts will race over some 30 000 miles from Europe to the Americas, New Zealand and Australia, then on to South Africa and back to Europe. At every stage they will be sailing against the prevailing winds, currents and each other. Because the yachts are identical, success will depend on how crew members build relationships and work together as a team.
All the Global Challenge yachts are being surveyed by John Fearnley, FIMarE, and certification will follow through The Marine Engineers Certifying Authority Ltd (MECAL) which is administered by Ken Anderson. MECAL was established shortly after the SSG as a separate trading company to act as a Certifying Authority for the Codes of Practice for small commercial craft under delegated authority given by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA). Its specific purpose is to assist owners and operators to comply with the Codes and to certify their vessels. On board Large 1
Sir Chay Blyth, inspired by his personal achievement as the first solo yachtsman to sail `the wrong way' around the world, created the race in 1988. His company, Challenge Business International, organises the race and builds many of the yachts.
BT's involvement in the Global Challenge is not just a sponsorship deal: it's a chance to learn and explore the interaction of people and technology in extreme environments, where good communications are critical. BT first became involved with the Global Challenge supplying technological expertise and facilities for onboard communications. As its commitment has grown, they have expanded the areas in which they provide support.

Letters

Sir, I was interested to read the Editor's Comment in the May MER on the seafarer shortage crisis; an odd anomaly he calls the 16 000 shortfall. I agree, having just been released from a Chief Engineer's job in a Norwegian company and replaced yet again by a Filipino. I find it disturbing to ring up an agency to find there are no jobs available for Chief Engineers.
Perhaps my 20-years experience as a Chief Engineer on various shiptypes is not what shipping companies are looking for. Could it also be that my 20-years experience, which puts me over the age of 50 (52 actually) is a drawback?
Why recruit? Instead, why not make use of the resources we have? I am sure there are many like myself who have a good few years to go with invaluable skills to pass on.
A few years ago my eldest son wanted to follow in my footsteps.
I dissuaded him, and now he phones me from University to say he understands why — no prospects!

TJ Newell, IEng, AMIMarE, Beccles, Suffolk, UK.

Sir, The article in the March edition of The Bulletin headed `Broadening the Scope of Engineers' intrigued me. Cross training would seem to be fairly simple, as my own career would indicate.
I started an engineering career with Vickers Armstrong which consisted of two years fitting in Barrow-in-Furness and three years in the Design Office Supermarine Aeroworks.
I then joined A Holt & Co, Blue Funnel Line and served for 12 years, the last three as Chief Engineer. During this time, I sailed in old and new steam and diesel driven vessels.
In 1962, after being in Australia for sometime, I applied to join the RANR and was accepted with the rank of L/Cdr. In my part-time capacity, I became head of the RANR Engineering Section, HMAS Lonsdale, Melbourne.
Incidentally, during this time, an Engineer Captain told me not to call him Sir because `with your experience, you know more about marine engineering than I'll ever know'.
An invitation to serve in the Permanent Naval Force (PNF) for four years followed, which I gladly accepted. Initially, I was the Deputy General Overseer and Superintendent of Inspection, Victoria. When the General Overseer retired due to ill health, I became the General Overseer on Commander's pay. This branch consisted of Naval Officers (six in all) and a number of technical officers, some of whom were former Artificers. Our responsibility was to ensure the quality of all work carried out outside the naval dockyard. This included refurbishing of ships guns in ordinance factories, missile launchers and associated equipment, boat building, pumps, valves etc.
When my time was up, I left the RAN to become Superintendent and then Fleet Manager of a shipping company. As shipping declined, I became Manager of Engineering and Building Services of a hospital under construction in Sydney with an attached dental school and later was appointed Director Engineering and Building Services for the area.
To sum up, cross training would seem to be fairly simple to any suitably qualified Marine Engineer and if I can make any suggestions or comments which you deem worthwhile, I will be pleased to do so.

Tom Whittaker, NSW, Australia.

Sir, I am researching the history of HMS London (1929-49), on which I served during 1940-46, and would like readers to provide details of the ship's breakers.
In April 1949, following substantial damage sustained during a rescue operation to prevent the capture of HMS Amethyst by Chinese communist forces on the Yangtze River, HMS London went to sea, but was subsequently decommissioned in Chatham Dockyard and sold for scrap. She was laid up in the River Fal before being towed to Barrow where she was broken up.
If anyone knows the breaker's name and address please contact

GL Bruty, 12 Warleigh Crescent, Derriford, Plymouth, PL6 5BS, UK.

Sir, Some time ago there was discussion on joining with the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and renaming the combined institutes.
Reading through `new elections and transfers to IMarE roll' in the June Bulletin causes me to wonder about the possibility of us becoming The International Institute of Marine Engineers. After all, whether we like it or not, the world is coming together at a great rate.

Michael Kavanagh.

St Petersburg

The IMarE St. Petersburg Branch Diploma was presented to the Director of the State Hermitage Museum (formerly the Winter Palace) during the final stage of the traditional maritime festival in April.
Branch Honorary Secretary Professor Kirill V Rozhdestvensky presented Mikhail B Piotrovskiy with the award for his outstanding contribution to maritime history.
The Branch also held a seminar on the history of icebreaking vessels onboard the legendary icebreaker Krassin berthed at the Neva embankment in St. Petersburg.
At present Krassin is a floating museum and is viewed as one of the marine ambassadors of St. Petersburg. The builder of Krassin (then Svyatogor) was Sir W G Armstrong, Whitworth & Co Ltd. The ship was launched at Elswick yard on River Tyne, on August 3, 1916. She was intended to operate near Arkhangelsk at the White Sea. Later the icebreaker navigated in the Arctic and in 1928 Krassin conducted a salvage operation to the north of Spitsbergen to rescue the aeronauts of the dirigible `Italia' (Nobile Expedition).
During the Second World War Krassin took part in allied convoys. The main service of Krassin ended in 1976 when she was replaced by a new icebreaker with more powerful engines. Ever since the icebreaker has been the floating history museum of St Petersburg.
Five papers were presented at the seminar and included papers by the captain of Krassin Lev Burak, professor of SMTU Boris Tsarev, Associate Professor Anatoliy Bukshev, Branch Honorary Secretary Professor Kirill Rozhdestvensky, and PhD students Alexander Glebov and Vladimir Shagidanov. The audience included branch members, SMTU students and the crew of the icebreaker.

Cyprus

36 members attended a technical presentation in May to hear Max Mickkelson, Manager of Technical Services at Man B&W, Holeby, Denmark, talk about gensents Type 22/30 and 28/32H. Max then went on to describe the different types of service packages available for upgrading respective prime movers, which are already in service, to the latest design. He then continued with a detailed and graphic account of the service experience gained with these engines, inclusive of mishaps.
The presentation ended with a brief overview of what the engine builder could do in order to meet the NOx Code.
The presentation was followed by an informal discussion over refreshments.

Sydney

At the fourth combined technical meeting with RINA held in May, a paper entitled: `Innovation in Separator Development' was presented by Selwyn Oliveira of Alfa Laval Australia.
Selwyn invited members to `step into the future' as he described the `perfect solution' for cleaning oils of all types. The highly compact Alfa Laval Separation Unit was first introduced in June 1999 and exhibited at the recent Pacific 2000 exhibition.
From a design point of view the new Separation Unit's height has been reduced by 40%, its width by 50% and its weight is 75% lighter, installation costs are also reduced by a `plug and play' concept. Longer service intervals, which again help to lower operating costs, are achieved through a unique bowl design. Alfa Laval claims that the unit opens up new horizons for separation efficiency.

UAE

20 UAE Branch members and guests heard an interesting and informative lecture on a topic that, for most of them, was something new.
Entitled `Indoor Air Quality and Fire Restoration Work' the first part of the lecture given by Kelvin Bruce, Managing Director of Environmental Protection Service Company (EPSCO) described the testing of the air quality exiting from the air ducts of A/C and cleaning of the ducts utilising robots. The Branch technical meeting, held in April, also included video footage of the inside of ducting while cleaning was being carried out by a `remote vehicle' along with photographs of the inside of the duct space both before and after cleaning.
The second part of the lecture described the techniques available for the restoration of fittings and equipment, which suffered smoke damage during an onboard fire. The work involved identifying the material from which the component was made and applying the correct restoration technique and substance in each case.
In other news, the Branch has contributed six computers from the Social Fund to the Seaman's Club `Internet Café'. The Cafe was officially opened in May during a ceremony performed by Rear Admiral Hoeing, Commander, Carrier Group Seven USN, attended by the majority of the Branch Committee. Rear Admiral Hoeing thanked the members for the gift and told of the importance of communication availability for seaman who were away from home for long periods. He said: `With approximately 7000 men and women in the carrier group, access to e-mail onboard is limited and this addition to the Seaman's Club is very much appreciated.'
This year's Annual May Ball saw 575 members and guests in attendance. Guest of honour was IMarE Director General, Keith Read and his wife. After dinner the audience were entertained by a belly dancer, a dancing troupe and the radio DJ Mike Greaves.

Gulf Coast

In April, Gulf Coast members listened to Lloyd Bland of ARCO Marine discuss the ARCO Millennium Class tankers currently under construction at Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. The first ship of the series, the ARCO Endeavor is set for delivery in September 2000.
ARCO is building the 1Mbbl capacity vessels for the environmentally sensitive trade from Alaska to the US West Coast. In addition to the double hull, the ships will conform to the latest ABS requirements for redundant propulsion. The ships are arranged with two separate machinery spaces, each with full propulsion, auxiliary and control systems. Gulf Coast Branch Chairman Stan Symon (right) thanks Lloyd Bland
In each machinery space, a slow speed Man B&W diesel engine drives a cp propeller, and when in port, a clutch disconnects the engine from the shaft and drives an alternator through PTO to power the motor driven cargo pumps. ARCO currently has three ships on order with an option for a fourth.
A lively question and answer session followed the presentation.

The Organisation and Management of the Institute

Part 7 — Finance Department

Beancounters! Love `em or hate `em, there's no doing without them. They are vital to proper accountability of the monies raised and spent and, if you keep on their good side, happy to disperse sums for new projects and initiatives.
Just like shareholders in a company, the Institute members demand tight accountability and the Finance Department keeps rigid control of expenditure, working closely with other departments and the Finance & General Purposes Committee (detailed in Part 2 - Nov 99 Bulletin).
The Department controls the financial transactions that all the other departments generate. It also manages the personnel function of the Institute.
All the transactions involving the movement of money and the operation of the secretariat are drawn together and summarised through the Institute's accounting records. The totals that the transactions generate are set out in regular management accounts then laid before the Finance & General Purposes Committee.
The accounts are used by the Executive and the F&GPC to help them oversee the Institute's financial affairs on behalf of Council on a day-to-day basis. They are also used as a basis for the preparation of the Institute's Annual Budget. This budget, in turn, provides the financial direction for the Institute's Business Plan and this then drives the Institute's Strategic Plan.
Each department is run virtually as a cost centre. Staffing costs, which understandably is the largest expenditure — as is to be expected by a service industry — are spread over the departments in relation to the time each person spends working within each department. For example, in the case of a person who works all the time in the Membership Department their costs will all be charged to that one department, whereas the costs of someone involved with say Professional Affairs, Administration, and Publications will be split accordingly.
The next largest cost is general administration and this is all charged to a central admin account. In future, however, this too will be allocated to departments, depending on the floor space each occupies.
The third largest set of costs relates to the direct and marginal costs attributable to the activities of each department, eg the cost of printing and publishing this Bulletin. These costs are monitored and controlled by the departmental managers who are also responsible for compiling their own department's financial budget each year.
The F&GPC are not involved with the minutia of the various transactions. They only concern themselves with the `big picture' — the overall financial performance, the total incomes and expenditure for the departments. They rely on the executive, headed up by the Director General, to make sure that strict financial control is applied to the individual transactions.
Four people carry out the work of the Finance & Personnel Department — `headcounter' Gordon Evans (Finance Director), and `beancounters' Julie Maskell, Jean Ball and Fiona Harvey.
They control all of the sales and purchase ledgers, the multitude of bank accounts, the full personnel function, the nominal ledgers (whatever they are!) and the Institute's important investment portfolio.
Moreover, these functions run across various entities including the Institute, Marine Management (Holdings) Ltd (which runs the City Conference Centre), the Institute of Licensed Engineers, the Guild of Benevolence, MECAL and all the Awards Funds. The Pension Fund is also a separate entity.
As you can imagine, with so many diverse activities throughout the Institute's headquarters operation, there are many complex transactions to process. Since October last year, the department has been using an accounting package called `Enterprise.' This is a fairly new bit of software which Gordon describes as `very user friendly' with Microsoft products. Consequently, he now has the capability of producing monthly management accounts, annual budgets and Statutory Accounts literally at the click of a (mouse) button.
The accounts database sits alongside the membership database and both talk to each other through an automatic link. So if we want to know how much was received from Fellows of the Institute, for example, living in one particular country, we have the means to search the database for the information. With over 14 000 paying members, each remitting up to five different subscriptions a year, in different currencies, there are a lot of entries to sift through.
So any members who want to upgrade their own complex accounts are more than welcome to call in and seek advice from the Finance team who are more than happy to explain all about their work.
