The Austal Design team in Australia
has experience in designing catamarans
and monohulls in the range from 80 to
330 ft. (24.3 to 100.5 m), with speeds
from 20 to 50 knots. This design group
also, uniquely, benefits from being part
of a shipbuilding group where lessons
learned from vessels built and in-service
are constantly being fed back to make
each new vessel a step up in functionali-
ty and maintainability.
The Main Deck was designed around a
3-5-3 arrangement with 36-in. aisles as
required by the 1990 Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). Access to meet
ADA in fact makes the aisles 6 in. more
than USCG require, thus adding one ft.
to the beam of the vessel.
The concept for this vessel was that it
would work as either a Subchapter T
vessel (149 seats or less) or Subchapter
K (150 or more). Thus the Main Deck BRINGING TWO TOGETHER
CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
was designed around the potential of 149
seats (supplied by Beurteaux), which can
be achieved by removal of the
kiosk/concession midships, replacing
with an extra 18 seats.
Speed and economy were important
design goals and an appreciation of the
types of routes this vessel would operate
plus a strong awareness of the need to
minimize wake wash, which is a critical
issue in the U.S. environment) led to a
speed of 25 knots, which also meant that
fixed pitch propellers could be used, fur-
ther keeping costs down.
The vessel's required 2 x 1,100 hp
installed power comes from twin Cater-
pillar 3412E diesel engines, which will
drive fixed pitch props through ZF BW
190 CB gearboxes although at this time
a potential customer's preference may
lead to this being changed to Twin Disc.
Fuel consumption is a low 111 gallons
per hour for the main engines at full
power.

well as world-class instruction for pro-
fessional mariners. After attending the
Center's first training class in April,
Kirby Instructor John Moyle said, "The
simulation was so real that when they
stopped the simulator, I actually lurched
forward." Moyle has over 30 years of
experience as a captain and is now an
instructor.
"Training is more than increased effi-
ciency. A well-trained crew saves lives
and protects the environment," said
Captain Eric Larsson, Director of the
Center for Maritime Education that also
includes SCI training facilities in New
York City and Paducah, Ky. Thirteen
leading maritime companies in the Gulf
Region have already committed to more
than 40 weeks of training over the next
five years.
The training offers professional
mariners an opportunity to refine their
skills in an environment that simulates
real life. The four bridges/wheelhouses
are actual size, and the simulations are
constructed from field research, includ-
ing digital photography, to produce
details such as shore-side landmarks.
Set in 50-ft. diameter theaters, the
screens offer peripheral as well as for-
ward views. The simulation even
includes the sounds and vibrations of
the engine.
When the American Waterways Oper-
ators (AWO) instituted The Responsible
Carrier Program in 1994, its goals
included consistently reliable, always
safe, and environmentally benign cargo
transportation. The AWO realized that
professional training was critical to
reaching this goal. Thomas Allegretti,
president of the American Waterways
Operators, recalled, "That's when we

Valid maritime simulation training requires dif-


ferent types of simulators, offering varied levels
of accuracy and fidelity, which are then matched
to the learning objectives of the training pro-
gram. It is the level of control over the training
environment that defines a simulator's perfor-
mance envelope, and the subsequent classifica-

a training program.

Realism, Why Bother?


Here is a perspective regarding real-
ism in simulation. A simulation student
was complaining to his company office
that the simulator he was working on

the visual picture was phony, and that

told him, "That's why they call it a sim-
