Designs benefit from service experience
Article Abstract:
Vessel operators typically encounter problems and difficulties which designers and builders fail to foresee. Condor Ltd., a UK-based operator of high-speed craft, has had extensive experience with wavepiercer catamarans over the company's 20-year history. The company worked with the manufacturer as well as three different waterjet suppliers during the design and production of its newest vessel. As a result, the company's Condor 10 has many features which eliminate the technical shortcomings of its earlier craft.

Regulatory work continues
Article Abstract:
Northern Europe's ferry industry will carry out several modifications to meet the Solas 92 fire safety amendments and the Solas 95 amendments for stability and passenger evacuation. Since compliance dates for stability work rely on ship characteristics, operators have focused on meeting the deadlines. Solas work has not affected much the repair yards because much of it can be done in service.
