It concerns a complementary approach to current practices and its aim is to provide more information mainly to ship-owners that consider the feasibility of deploying Ro-Ro Passenger ferries. The paper examines a typical semi-conventional RoPax ferry operating in the Aegean Sea. It addresses important economic, operational and procedural issues concerning risk evaluation. The current status is that risk is a notion still strange to main stakeholders. The Greek practice in performing a feasibility study for a project draws on investor＇s experience and feeling aided by a preliminary economic study. The main thesis of this paper is that there are alternative techniques to evaluate investment risk and measure profitability of a project. A Monte Carlo simulation in collaboration with a typical Ro-Ro cash-flow model is implemented to reveal the extent of risk and provide a useful tool for the assessment of future investments in Greek Short Sea Shipping.展开更多
高速客船发动机作为高速客船的心脏,满负荷运行时间长,运行温度高,因此其对发动机油的性能要求非常高。针对高速客船发动机的工况特点和润滑需求,研制生产了CK-4 Plus 10W-40柴油机油,并在2台具有代表性的高速客船发动机上开展超过1000 ...高速客船发动机作为高速客船的心脏,满负荷运行时间长,运行温度高,因此其对发动机油的性能要求非常高。针对高速客船发动机的工况特点和润滑需求,研制生产了CK-4 Plus 10W-40柴油机油,并在2台具有代表性的高速客船发动机上开展超过1000 h的应用性能验证研究。定期采样跟踪分析、船上实时监控分析以及发动机拆解观察的结果表明:CK-4 Plus 10W-40柴油机油具有优异的综合性能,完全满足高速客船发动机长换油周期的润滑需求。基于CK-4 Plus 10W-40柴油机油优异的综合性能表现,某公司10余艘高速客轮已全面推广使用CK-4 Plus 10W-40柴油机油,取得了良好经济效益。展开更多
