VistaScape for Port of Wilmington

The Port of Wilmington, Del. deployed

VistaScape's SiteIQ software to automate surveillance, enforce port security policy, and increase the effectiveness of its secu- rity staff in responding to and preventing violations.

SiteIQ is part of an overall security upgrade for the Port funded through $1.7 million in grants from the Transportation

Security Administration and the Office of

Domestic Preparedness.

A full-service deepwater port and marine terminal, the Port handles more than 400 vessels per year with an annual import/export cargo tonnage of 5 million tons.

It comprises more than 350 acres, including the largest dock-side cold stor- age facility in North America.

SiteIQ collects sensor data from sur- veillance cameras and access control sta- tions around the Port and provides a sin- gle three-dimensional map display for viewing current security conditions.

Authorities are notified of potential prob- lems via live video of the event to the command center, audible alarms, and alerts to officers on patrol.

Coastwise

Completes Landing

Craft Design

Coastwise Corp. completed a landing craft design for Katmai National Park and

Preserve in Alaska. The vessel is a shal- low water RoRo passenger and vehicle ferry. The Juneau-based naval architec- ture and marine engineering firm designed this 65 ft. aluminum landing craft to operate on the Naknek River and

Lake carrying passengers and heavy equipment to remote Brooks Camp, "Val- ley of Ten Thousand Smokes." This new 65 ft. vessel has a beam of 21 ft., travels at eight knots, operates with a crew of two and can carry 10 passengers. It was designed to carry full size road graders, loaders, and tanker trucks. The vessel's aluminum ramp is designed to load these heavy vehicles from un-improved beach- es. Designated as a day-boat the RoRo landing craft will operate June to mid-

September and be hauled out of the lake, prior to freeze up. Fully loaded the vessel draws just over three feet of water. 65 ft Landing Craft Particulars
