engine room optimization

[zacko]

hi everyone!!

Anyone of you have a project or thesis regarding the optimization
of the engine room volume of a ro-ro ship??

Thanks a lot, sorry for my english..

Not knowing your objectives it might be hard to get a satisfying reply from our NA´s in the commercial field.
Being a bit more specific about your goal will help.

About 30 years ago one simple answer was: put a "Pielstick" in.
Due to the low profile of the "SEMT Pielstick" engines they were the first choice for many ferries.
I yet have to meet one Chief loving them though.......
