Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Opportunities to visit steam turbine powered ships are now few and far between and the recent scrapping of older passenger tonnage due to stricter SOLAS regulations has not helped. SS Margaret Hill was a liquefied natural gas carrier with the boilers fired on boil-off gas (BOG - yes really). The vessel was built in 1974 by Moss at Stavanger, Norway and fitted with a General Electric cross compound steam turbine of 30,400 horsepower and good for 19.5 knots.
This was the steering gear. The big buff 'drum' in the centre is the rotary vane type steering gear that is on the rudder stock and supplied with hydraulic power from duplicated motor driven hydraulic pumps. This gear is a lot more compact and a lot less interesting to look at than the ram type gear. |
