New Edition of SNAME PNA Book Focuses On Intact Stability
JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY (USA) – The Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Intact Stability is now available from the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME). The new volume, a revision of the previous chapter two of PNA, develops the principles of intact stability in calm water, starting from initial stability at small angles of heel then proceeding to large angles.
Written by Dr. Colin S. Moore, Manager, Advanced Analysis and Salvage Engineering at Herbert Engineering Corp. and a member of SNAME ad hoc committees on Double Hull Intact Stability and Parametric Rolling, the new volume in the PNA series discusses various effects on stability, such as changes in hull geometry, changes in weight distribution, suspended weights, partial support due to grounding or drydocking and free liquid surfaces in tanks or other internal spaces.
The concept of dynamic stability is introduced, starting from the ship’s response to an impulsive heeling moment. The effects of waves on resistance to capsize are discussed noting that, in some cases, the wave effect may result in diminished stability and dangerous dynamic effects.
Problems encountered in ships of special type and size that have been developed in recent years, many of which - by reason of size, configuration or lack of a history of design experience - require a design approach based on first principles, receive special attention. Modern developments in classification society strength standards and modern rule developments are covered, including Common Structural Rules for tankers and bulk carriers.
There are sections on the special stability problems of craft that differ in geometry or function from traditional seagoing ships including multihulls, submarines and oil drilling and production platforms. The final section treats the stability of high performance craft such as SWATH, planing boats, hydrofoils and others where dynamic as well as static effects associated with the vessel’s speed and manner of operation must be considered in order to insure adequate stability.
The Principles of Naval Architecture Series: Intact Stability (ISBN 978-0-939773-74-0) can be ordered at www.sname.org or by calling 1+(800) 798-2188 (in the U.S. & Canada) or 1+(201) 499-5068. $50.00 ($45.00 for SNAME members, $40.00 for student members), plus shipping. Two other new volumes in the PNA series are also available - Strength of Ships and Ocean Structures and The Geometry of Ships.

RECORD ATTENDANCE FOR SNAME 2009
Over 1,150 Attend Marine Industry’s Premier Technical Event
50-Year SNAME Members Recognized At Closing Luncheon
JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY (USA), November 5, 2009 – Challenging economic conditions didn’t stop a record number of industry professionals from attending The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) 2009 Annual Meeting and Expo. The three-day event (October 21-23) drew more than 1,150 to the Providence, Rhode Island Convention Center.
"In all aspects, the 2009 SNAME Annual Meeting was a resounding success. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to those who attended the meeting, the many SNAME volunteers who organized the technical programs and social events, the meeting sponsors and those who exhibited at our EXPO. We look to build on this success and promise an exciting and stimulating meeting in Seattle/Bellevue in 2010,” said SNAME President Keith Michel.
The SNAME 2010 Annual Meeting and Expo will be held from November 3-5 in Seattle, Washington, with the annual SNAME golf tournament scheduled there for November 2 and the second annual sailing regatta on November 6.
Twelve SNAME members received 50-Year Golden Membership Certificates at the SNAME 2009 closing event, the annual President’s Luncheon on Friday, October 23: Donald L. Blount, Joseph P. Fischer, William H. Garzke, Jr., Harold F. Greiner, Joseph P. Harkrader, Jr., Owen F. Hughes, Petros A. Lalangas, Thomas Lamb, John A. Mercier, John M. Ringelberg, Richard F. Smith and Vordoman H. Van Bibber.

SNAME Issues Technical Bulletin
To Help Prevent Failure of Oily Bilgewater Systems
JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY (USA) – A properly functioning Oily Water Separator (OWS) is required aboard ships by international convention. The OWS controls operational discharges overboard of waste water that accumulates in the bilges of machinery spaces. But shipboard bilges can be a sink and reservoir for a range of substances other than oil and water, including chemicals, particles and biological activity, any of which can cause an OWS and related systems to fail.
A 37-page technical bulletin, Guide to Diagnosing Contaminants in Oily Bilgewater: Operation
and Maintenance of Bilgewater Treatment Systems, now available from the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME), provides crew and shore side personnel with a foundation for the development of bilge water contaminant identification skills, along with diagnostic and troubleshooting techniques to prevent and remedy many types of oily bilgewater system failures.
The bulletin was compiled by the Oily Wastewater and Bilgewater Panel, Panel EC-3, of the SNAME Technical and Research Program. The panel is one of several under the Environmental Engineering Committee, which is jointly staffed by SNAME and the American Society of Naval Engineers.
Technical and Research Bulletin 6-1, Guide to Diagnosing Contaminants in Oily Bilgewater: Operation and Maintenance of Bilgewater Treatment Systems is available on a CD and can be ordered by calling Tommie-Anne Faix at 1+(800) 798.2188 (in the U.S. & Canada) or 1+201.499.5068, or by email to tfaix@sname.org. $50.00 ($25.00 for SNAME members), plus shipping.
