Differences between Low, Medium, and High Speed Diesel Engines
July 18th, 2017Incremental power deviations have existed on marine vessels for a long time. A call for Ahead-Half Speed or Full Speed Ahead fires the memory so that we recall an age where steam power ruled the waves. Today, however, incremental marine power refers to low, medium, and high-speed diesel engines. What differences separate these propulsion systems? […]
Kemel Shaft Bearings: Differences between Self Lubricating System and Forced Lubricating System
June 30th, 2017Heavy-duty shaft bearings are durable and dependable mechanisms. Unfortunately, even a high-performing piece of equipment simply won’t last long if it’s starved of its lubricating agent. Kemel shaft bearings deal with that shortcoming by using a familiar engineering approach. Basically, instead of hitting the problem head on, the Kemel solution adopts a divide and conquer […]
Yanmar Collaborates in an LNG Fueled Tugboat Project
June 20th, 2017May 23, 2017 Yanmar Co., Ltd. Yanmar Co., Ltd. is collaborating in the development of a tugboat*1 which uses LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as fuel with Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL). The boat will be owned by MOL, manufactured by Kanagawa Dockyard Co., Ltd., have LNG fuel provided by Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., operated by Nihon […]
Signs that Your Diesel Engine is In Need of Complete Overhaul
June 16th, 2017There are faint signs that practically cry out “system failure” when a diesel engine is teetering on the edge. When the indicators are identified, a complete overhaul will redress the run-down equipment so that it can be properly refurbished. On playing Devil’s advocate, if an engineer disregards these warning signs, then a major engine failure […]
Different Types of Engines That Are Most Commonly Used in Large Shipping Vessels
May 30th, 2017Large shipping vessels act as a sort of barometer for human progress. Before machines, long oars propelled ships. Then, during the industrial revolution, steam engines powered drive shafts in the bowels of ocean-going vessels. Truly, marine propulsion systems have developed at an exponential rate since the steam age. Now it’s diesel’s turn, but steam still […]
