DG's comment

The recent sinking of the Maltese-flagged tanker Erika off the West Coast of France, with its attendant massive oil pollution, has highlighted yet again the inextricable link between maritime activity and the preservation of the marine environment.
The loss, attributed to a small structural failure or leak low down in the hull structure, has thrown into sharp relief the many faceted arguments surrounding responsibilities — where does culpability for such a disaster lie? With the Master – Owner – Architect – Builder – Class – Operator – Surveyor – Law-maker? And, how should blame be apportioned and paid for? The argument will, no doubt, redound for some time.
It is interesting to note that in particular, the tragedy is causing the classification societies to engage in some severe navel gazing. Whatever conclusions are drawn from this particular environmental tragedy they must surely be used to the benefit of the industry and the environment in which it operates — but how many times has one heard that before!
The Institute, as a learned society, with many members involved in or affected by the disaster, will continue to be a pivotal forum for debate and a focus for the dissemination of information on maritime environmental matters.
Appropriate, then, that the principal guest at the Institute Annual Dinner, on Friday 10th March 2000 at Grosvenor House, should be the distinguished past Chairman of the National Environment Research Council, Mr James Smith CBE, FREng, FRSE, Hon LLD, FIMarE.

Institute signs affiliation agreements with SNAME and SOBENA

The Institute recently signed Affiliation Agreements with the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in the USA and the Sociedade Brasileira De Engenharia Naval (SOBENA) in Brazil. These Agreements followed discussions between the Presidents and Senior Executives of the organisations during which the value of cooperation and the benefits that resulted from the mutual exchange of information and ideas emanating from respective activities was recognised.
The Agreements provide for the Council of the Institute to accept as Affiliate Members, members from each of these organisations who, in their opinion can contribute to or wish to have access to the technical services of the Institute and who do not wish to be considered for any other membership category. Similarly, Institute members can become `Reciprocal Members' of SNAME and `IMarE Associates' of SOBENA.
The Agreements additionally provide for the exchange of information about local, national and international meetings and conferences organised by each organisation and to publicise these events. It is also intended to operate reciprocal arrangements for the purpose of advertising each other's books and other publications. Discounts will be available to all members. Electronic links are to be established to facilitate the mutual exchange of information and ideas and to promote the activities of the respective organisations.
Both SNAME and SOBENA have similar aims and objectives to those of the Institute and are internationally recognised technical professional societies of individual members serving the maritime and offshore industries and their suppliers.
Members wishing to take advantage of these Agreements should contact Anne Dewar, Membership Administration Manager, for further information and an application form.

Broadening the scope of engineers

Should a `marine' engineer become a truly multi-skilled `maritime' engineer with the ability to move between different maritime related industries?
This question was posed during the IMarE's Millennium Lecture in January, at which three eminent dignitaries discussed their vision of the future of the merchant, naval and offshore industries.
During discussion on the future role and training of engineers the question arose from the floor whether it was possible to develop cross-industry skilled engineers — naval, offshore and merchant — so that they could move between all three sectors.
IMarE President, Peter Gee, who delivered his thoughts on the future of the offshore industry, responded that there was certainly a need to attract youngsters into a `broad maritime' career rather than into a single (eg merchant) career. He stressed the need to promote the broader opportunities.
Maritime & Coastguard Agency boss Maurice Storey agreed that a broader approach to training may be the way forward. He had addressed the audience on his vision of the future of the merchant marine, during which he asked whether the industry was ever going to see `the real dual-purpose officer.' He saw a need to move more in that direction.
While calling for a greater commitment from the industry to crew competence and training, Mr Storey agreed that `flexibility was the key to future training,' and declared that whatever the type of training `it must develop safety conscious seafarers.'
Rear Admiral JA Burch, until recently Chief Naval Engineer Officer, questioned during his expose on the future of the navy where the RN would gets its future engineers, what type of engineer would be required, and what type of training. He stressed that the decision needed to be made early — training took a long time and was very expensive.
He commented on whether it was possible to employ merchant marine training practice in the Royal Navy. Mr Storey responded by declaring that the MCA had recently signed an agreement with the Royal Navy concerning cross training.
During his presentation Maurice Storey highlighted future technical innovations and safety requirements but urged that `safety legislation must evolve and not stifle innovation.'
He told the audience that ships must be built to survive all foreseeable accidents and urged the industry to be much more proactive in its approach to safety and the environment.

Changes to the Engineering Council examination

If you are considering taking part in the Engineering Council Examination, either by taking the whole of the Examination, Part 2 only or individual papers to top up your academic requirements, you should be aware of some changes taking place as a result of the revision of SARTOR (Standards and Routes to Registration).
Any candidate who applies directly to the Engineering Council and is assessed by the Examinations Department and has to undertake the whole of Part 2, must make their first attempt at Part 2(A) in either May 2000 or 2001 to meet the academic standard for Chartered Engineer under SARTOR 1990 (accredited BEng [Hons] degree or equivalent). The usual rules governing completion of the Examination then apply. However, anyone making their first attempt in May 2002 onwards will have to met the requirements of the revised SARTOR (accredited MEng or equivalent) and will be required not only to complete Part 2 but also to complete the new Part 3 Examination which is currently being finalised.
Those individuals who are assessed by the IMarE before 31 December 2001 and have only to complete a number of papers to top up their academic requirements, will be considered against SARTOR 1990 criteria. However, they must complete `top-up' requirements before 31 December 2003.
If anyone requires further information, please contact the IMarE Membership Department or contact the Engineering Council Examinations Department directly on 020 7240 7891. Alternatively, the Engineering Council's website holds information on its examination and on the changes to SARTOR. See http://www.engc.org.uk

The Organisation and Management of the Institute

Part 5 — Information Services - Publishing

On the fifth floor of Coleman Street lies the busy hub of the Institute's publishing activities. It forms part of the Information Services Division under the directorship of Tony Watts. Within it are the editorial and advertising teams producing MER, JOT, Bulletin, Annual Review, Books, Guides and Transactions — a considerable volume, but produced by only a small dedicated, professional team of journalists, designers, and sales staff.
The Institute's mainstream titles — MER, Bulletin and JOT — come under the editorial control of John Butchers, ably supported by a qualified editorial and production team, namely the assistant editor Patrik Wheater, the graphic design supremo Joanne Cooper, and the editorial assistant Eleanor Baylis. John Howes, the editor of the Journal of Offshore Technology, is employed on a freelance basis.
Between them they are responsible for the design and content of all these journals, plus some irregular titles. Members may be unaware that every item of published information has to be sourced— very little information comes from IMarE members. The journalists have to identify what's going on in the industry, the technical innovations, the latest rules and requirements, find the sources of such information, collate all the relevant information, and then write the articles — and ensure that the sources are as accurate as possible. The staff carry cameras on assignments, although none will profess to being a professional photographer.
Jo Cooper is the one that rejects the photos for being of `insufficient reproducible quality,' although these aren't her precise words! Being a qualified graphic designer, she has the task of designing the journals, creating all the page layouts and scanning in all the illustrations using the latest desk top publishing packages. It saves the Institute a fortune in reprographic costs. All pages are sent to the printer via ISDN line along with the computerised subscription list from which the printer inkjets the names and addresses on the wrappers.
MER comes out within the first week of each month and the Bulletin around the 18-20th. JOT is published bi-monthly during the 3rd week.
The editorial policy is guided by John Butchers, who has been a marine journalist for 25 years. The policy is based on a number of variables: members changing needs and directions, the requirement to balance commercial interests with quality and integrity of editorial content, the need to project a professional yet modern image, and the need to balance the practical, operational, and academic requirements of the readership — while making the content as reader-friendly as possible.
Patrik (no `c'!) Wheater left the Royal Navy and was fortunate to combine his marine experience with that of his other interest — writing — when he joined the Institute. Pat writes regular sections in MER like News and Discovery, plus features and articles on marine equipment technology, operation and safety.
Eleanor has a computer systems and journalist background so was the obvious choice to write the regular IT section; she also has responsibilities for the Bulletin, for helping support Jo in the layout of the JOT and for putting information on the IMarE web site.
The editorial team meet many members and glean from them ideas that help mould future editorial direction. Of course, ask 100 people their views and you get 100 different replies. The result could be a journal full of mishmash. The journals, of course, have to have focus and their own identity — that is why some years ago the offshore content was split away from MER and JOT was created. The IT section was created in response to the obvious impact electronic technology has on ship operation.
Balancing the interests of the readership is a challenge. But if every issue contains something of value to most readers, and is written in a style that makes for easy and interesting reading, then the members' needs would be satisfied.
Books are a very valuable part of the publishing activities: this is the key role of Publications Editor Joli Harris who has the support of the Books Advisory Committee to advise on the subject of new titles and possible authors.
Joli took over an ailing publications list some years ago and has since built up an enviable publications portfolio including new MEP titles and books on topical subjects; she has seen some lucrative `bestsellers' put on the market.
She is always activity commissioning new titles and seeking ideas, and generating revenue to invest in new titles through sponsorship.
More and more information will be available on-line through the Internet and Joli has already made the Glossary of Maritime Technology available for downloading. New technology has recently created a realistic electronic alternative to the printed book; it may be some years before this `booksize' gadget is in widespread use but it demonstrates the way ahead, and Joli continues to explore all the possibilities. She is supported by Lorraine Jordon who controls books sales and journal subscriptions.
While money is expended on publication production it is the task of Advertisement Manager Mike Stansell and his sales team to make the money. Mike, along with Richard King and Martin Bayes, sell the ads for all the journals and on the IMarE web site. `Its a hard task but someone has to do it,' says Mike. They visit the major exhibitions to promote the journals and gain lucrative contacts, and are constantly sourcing all kinds of advertisement leads. Katherine Hendon ably supports the sales team and controls classified adverts, admin and advert production.

'Argus - RN Photos

A visit to the helicopter carrier RFA Argus kicked off the new millennium for the Branch. Its members linked with the South West Branch of the Nautical Institute to accept the invitation from RFA Argus Captain Bob Thornton to visit the ship when it berthed in Devonport in January.
Capt Thornton gave a presentation which included an outline of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, its position and function within C-in-C Fleet, and the structure of the RFA flotilla.
The 175m long vessel of 28 000t was built in 1981 by Cantiere Navale in Breda, Italy as the containership Contender Bezant. She was converted to a helicopter carrier at Harland & Wolff, Belfast, entering service in 1988 as RFA Argus.
The main machinery is original: two Lindholmen Pielstick 18PC 2.5V medium speed diesels driving two inward turning fixed pitch propellers. The engines are rated at 23 000hp, giving a service speed of 15kt and top speed of 18kt.
Although conceived with a peacetime role of Aviation Training Ship and war role as anti-submarine helicopter carrier, changes have been forced by world events. She provided medical support during the Gulf War with a containerised field hospital fitted in a hangar. Her capabilities as a Primary Casualty Reception Ship (PCRS) remain: with operating theatres and beds for 96 patients.
During the Yugoslavia crisis, the side ramp and ro-ro capability enabled her to carry guns, ammunition and vehicles of the Royal Artillery. She returned to the Adriatic during the Kosova crisis as a helicopter carrier with hospital facilities, adapting her 25t crane fitted for helicopter recovery to supply fuel to smaller units.
The flexibility of the ship places her at short notice for a variety of operations, including disaster relief and evacuation.
The visiting party went on a conducted tour, finishing with refreshments in the Officers Mess. The hospitality of the Captain, officers and crew was greatly appreciated. In appreciation, Capt Thornton was presented with a Joint Branch Plaque by student member Andy Hockaday.

l While onboard Branch member Alex Rennie, FIMarE, was presented with two certificates by Branch Secretary Geoff Davis. In 1952 he was awarded the IMarE WW Marriner Memorial Prize and a certificate for writing the `Best Engineering Knowledge Script' in the MoT 2nd Class Certificate of Competency held during 1951. Being at sea, he was unable to attend the presentation then (better late than never!)
The second Certificate was for his 45-years continuous membership of the IMarE. Alex is proud of his long association with the Institute; at one time he was Corresponding Member for Portugal where he was Principal LR Surveyor.

St Petersburg

A seminar on `Training of Maritime Engineers in the Field of Technical Operation of Ships and Ship Equipment' was recently staged by the Branch in conjunction the Kanonerskiy Ship Repair Yard and St Petersburg State Marine Technical University (SMTU). The Kanonerskiy yard is one of the most successful in Russia, having the largest floating dock shiprepair facility in Europe with a capacity of 36 000t.
The topics of the lectures and presentations by the leading specialists in the field covered: training, automation, control and safety. The participants, which mostly included 5th-year students from SMTU, were greeted by Branch Hon Secretary Prof Kirill V Rozhdestvensky.
The seminar was one in a series of branch events dedicated to training and retraining of specialists in the field of technical service management, repair techniques, maritime surveillance, cargo transportation control and personnel safety.

What are the Ten Mega Trends for the Next Decade? This was the title of a presentation to the members on 31 January by Dr Philippe Boisson, of classification society Bureau Veritas
The members meet at the Trade Centre Apartments Club to hear Dr Boisson explain that his lecture was based on his recent book `Safety at Sea, Policies and International Law.' This looked at the `avalanche' of new legislation the industry had to contend with over the last decade, particularly regarding safety at sea.
He said that the shipping industry, unlike the aircraft and nuclear industries, had always been retroactive in its legislation — it had always taken a major incident to happen before any respective legislation was enacted.
Dr Boisson explained that over the next decade this approach was likely to change and become far more proactive. The question was raised whether or not the industry was being subjected to too much legislation since each incident appeared to produce more `rules, more paper work and more inspections.'
The recent disaster involving the tanker Erika was also discussed; since Mr Boisson is involved in this work members were given an insight into the investigation thus far.

Wellington

The Branch entered the new communications revolution late last year by sending its Newsletter via the e-mail to those members with access. It hopes all members will submit their e-mail addresses so that it can send it via the cheaper electronic method than by post.
The Newsletter reported that members and guests attended a meeting at the Strait Shipping Company's boardroom where Ian Baggot of Marine and Industrial Services gave an instructive presentation on the Introduction to non-destructive Testing. Ian covered the basic dye penetrant methods and progressed through to the latest developments in ultrasonic and X-ray methods.
The 1999 AGM was held at the Tug Boat on the Bay in November with 32 members and guests. Ken Belt, Tony Carr, Barry Coupland, Bryn George, Ian Lancaster, Don Skinner and Hugh Williams were elected to serve on the committee. The chairman thanked Tony Johnston, Tom Carson and Gary Young, who were standing down for their service to the committee.
The Newsletter also reported a number of news snippets, including a warning from the Australian Maritime Incident Investigation unit about poor communications, during an engineroom fire, due to lack of radios; and a NUMAST Telegraph report about the exposure to engineer officers of asbestos.

Obituaries

Thomas Walter Bunyan OBE, FEng, FIMarE 1909-1999
(inventor of the Pilgrim Nut)

It is with regret that we announce the death of Tom Bunyan. Born in Calcutta in 1909 Tom was educated at Loughborough College and London University, serving his apprenticeship at Metropolitan Vickers and Dorman Smith Engineers. He joined Lloyd's Register where he established its Engineering Research Laboratory during his appointment as Principal Surveyor of the Engineering Investigation Department.
Tom's innovative solutions to the engineering problems resulting from the post war changes in hull size and welded construction earned him widespread recognition.
In 1957 he was recruited by P&0 and became Engineering Adviser to the P&0 Board. He was immediately involved in the engineering installation of the TES Canberra and a number of his ideas were incorporated in her construction.
The loss of a ship's propeller at sea is a major disaster. It was Tom's invention of the propeller nut with a built-in hydraulic jacking system (the Pilgrim Nut) that enabled the propeller to be accurately located on the shaft taper and also enabled the keyway to be dispensed with, thus removing a major stress raiser from the dynamic system — a major contribution to marine safety.
P&O Research Development, subsequently renamed Pilgrim Engineering Development, was established to accommodate his ideas and inventions and through various takeovers Tom remained the Technical Director until he retired in 1992.
He served on LR's Technical Committee 1976-1988 and was a practising member of the London Maritime Arbitration Association acting as sole arbitrator and as expert witness. He became a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1980 and was awarded the OBE in 1987.
In retirement under the watchful eye of his wife Mary, and the help of a small lathe, he produced from his workshop an endless stream of children's toys, many utilising his flair for mechanisms in their construction.
Those who had the privilege of working with him will long remember him as a truly innovative professional engineer. He is survived by his second wife Mary, and three daughters from his first marriage.
