Packaging power prevents problems
The british magasine Marine Propulsion & Auxiliary Machinery published an article on how single-source supply of integrated propulsion systems yields significant benefits for ship designers, builders and operators in planning, installing and commissioning project. Further on the article described how 'unknown or contradictory component and package main dimensions, for example, might result in inadequate space reservation for the shaft alternator; a 'collision' between gearbox and engine charge air receiver; and an unsuitable compromise between the total machinery installation and engineroom lengths. An integrated package designed and supplied from a single source, however, enables a shipyard to concentrate on its core competence (steel fabrication and project co-ordination) and allow a specialist supplier to take responsibility for designing, delivering and commissioning an optimised propulsion plant.'
