A new-generation coal-fired marine steam propulsion plant, consisting of all-coal fired twin-boiler installations and their associated coal bunkers, daily service hoppers, coal and ash handling systems, ash retention and disposal systems, etc., to drive a main propulsion turbine rated to develop 19,000 shp, was devised for installation in two 74 700-dwt bauxite carriers. Boilers are equipped with a special automatic combustion control system, and coal transfer from the bunkers to daily hoppers is in the dense phase. As part of this project, a training simulator also was devised for training and education of the ship engine room personnel as well as for use in testing of the plant equipment.
