Alert! The International Maritime Human Element Forum
"If a ship design is to be “user-friendly” it
is important that its users get the chance to become friendly with it before
it is delivered, when it is arguably too late to make substantive changes. Issue
8 of Alert! - The International Maritime Human Element Bulletin - focuses on
the shipyard, and shows the contribution knowledgeable seafarers can make to
ensure that a safe and well-designed ship is delivered to the owner."

USNS Sirius Becomes Training Ship for Texas Maritime Academy
|
|
The US Navy Military
Sealift Command combat stores ship USNS Sirius (T-AFS 8)
became Texas Maritime Academy's new training ship on July 1. The Sirius,
one of three sister ships acquired from the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary
in 1981-83, is particularly attractive as a training ship because
of her low-speed diesel engine, a Sulzer 8RD76. For the full article,

For details of
the ship, see:
