It's all very sad!  I remember being a Learning Support Assistant at an infant school quite a while ago now and we had a sports day.  They had races etc, but there were no winners! 

They did not think it was the right thing to do to reward a child for being good at something.  So in my book they grow up assuming they can do anything and everything, but never having been put to the test.
Likewise there is no need for them to know how anything works as in most cases you dispose of it in an incredibly eco-friendly way and buy another.

I think I am getting too old to have a valued opinion of the teenagers we see now.

regards Roy

What?!....a Marine Engineer of the female gender and her apprentice daughter :-)) .....brilliant


Did anyone notice they used D size HP bottles of N2 as starting air?.....or were they E/R HP air bottles & just painted the universal color of grey for nitrogen?


The B&W engine is Burmister & Wain...1950+ vintage?.....[not sure of the Alpha connection]


Thanks for sharing Andy

Don't see anything really new here. Basically a conventional drive system with the motor in a bulge under the hull instead of inside the hull. Just easier to maintain than the original azipods.

The sealing of marine propulsion pods has been their Achellies Heel :embarrassed: for 30 years

Would think some incremental concepts of sealing round elements have been employed to offer such reliability


[Having said this after a lifetime of sealing elements in hydraulic fluid engineering, I do not quite comprehend how this is achieved  %) ]


The placement of the motive diesel engine in the rotating Pod also requires breathing large volumes of low pressurized inlet aid and exhaust gases which must be achieved via rotating slip-ring joints....and not a few 100 mm  >>:-( of flexible hoses

The ship already had motors for driving the schottels.
I would imagine that all that is in the fin itself is just the transmission, not an entirely new engine.

Here we go,...

the Cat Propulsion Twin Fin System comprises a compact electric motor and gearbox configuration connected
 via short drive shaft, rotating a pair of controllable pitch propellers whose performance is enhanced by two tailor-made
fins attached to the hull. Major transmission parts in the system are accessible from inside the vessel, enhancing
 ease of maintenance and averting the need to drydock.

it appears the electric motor and gearbox are in the fin, and the diesel engine stays where it was when the azipods were used...

some fins seem to have position keeping thrusters in the fin, others have the thrusters in the hull.
