AGOR 28 SIO Shipyard Representative Bi-Weekly Progress Report
Abstract
Progress on the building of AGOR 28, oceanographic research vessel Sally Ride. Work continues on initial outfitting lists for Sally Ride; and working on NS5 Hierarchy. Operator concerns: Samples of the installed Tuff-Mass MLV and Acoustic tiles were lab tested last week. While the official report is not yet available, the results were not promising. Meanwhile, the yard has started installing the USCG approved Quadzero Nonlite foil faced MLV where required. The yard has completed the MLV installation in the Foc'sle Deck DC locker and is in the process of finishing the EDG Room and the inside of the stack. Because most all of the ship board equipment has been installed, there are some areas that may be difficult or impossible to treat without moving equipment in order for the installers to gain access. The operators remain concerned that the USCG may require the removal of the un-approved MLV and Acoustic tiles at some future date. At present, it is estimated that the yard has installed 75% or more of the Acoustic Tiles to the hull, bulkheads and overheads on Ride. It has been reported that the USCG has directed that Acoustic Tile installation to be stopped on Ride. When testing Siemens Generator Power Adaptation (GPA) on Armstrong, it was found that when an SSDG emergency shutdown was initiated from the pilot house, the diesel engine shutdown, but the generator's breaker remained closed, resulting in a reverse power situation. This in turn resulted in the Power Management System not being able to place the standby SSDG into service. The GPA did prevent the remaining SSDG from overloading and blacking out the plant, so that portion of the test was partially successful. However, it was not done with both generators fully loaded so it will have to be done again to complete the test. In addition, Siemens needs to find and add the breaker trip command so that each generator trips when its individual emergency stop is initiated, both form the PH and locally.
