Instrumented Trials on 'Destiny'
- Summary
- A Seafish trials team carried out an instrumented sea trial in December 1989 to investigate the causes of excessive exhaust temperature on the main propulsion engine. A report on these trials was produced as CR7. It was confirmed that the engine was not subject to overload in any of its fishing or steaming modes. The worst situations involved seining activitiers in which the engine was required to provide power to the jhydraulic seine winch and rope reels while running at low speeds (500 to 700 engine revs/min) in order to limit forward thrust from the propeller.
