Faster than twice the speed of existing air displacement lifts on the market, the Sunstream V-Lift employs a quad-blower and electric valve system to launch a vessel in 75 seconds and lift in two minutes simply by pressing up or down buttons on its keychain-sized remote control. The lightweight solution operates in as little as 3-feet of water, and is the first free- floating boatlift to fit into a 10-foot wide or larger slip. www.sunstreamcorp.com Reflex Marine to Distribute ShoreConnection?s DMM System ShoreConnection has appointed expert in marine personnel transfer Reflex Marine as global distributor of its Deck Motion Monitor (DMM) system. In 2007, ShoreConnection developed the DMM in partnership with ConocoPhillips and DNV Norway. The DMM measures the vertical deck velocity at multiple locations on the sup- ply vessel deck and provides real-time wave height infor- mation to the crane operator. Real-time video from the supply vessel?s DMM camera gives the crane operator another angle view and can cover blind zones on deck, allowing the safest lifting and landing area. www.shoreconnection.no/products Furuno Launches ECDIS FMD-3200/FMD-3300Furuno has announced that the new ECDIS (model names FMD- 3200 and FMD-3300) will be ready for launch very shortly. The FMD- 3200 (with 19? LCD) and FMD- 3300 (with 23.1? LCD) deliver great enhancement in terms of user inter-face as well as functionality. Fully complying with the performance standard of ECDIS stip- ulated in IMO resolution MSC.232(82), the new ECDIS is going to be a suitable candidate designated for new installation as well as retrofit to fulfill ECDIS mandatory carriage that is phasing in from July 2012 onward. www.furunousa.com Silikroil Loosens and Lubricates Silikroil is an enhanced lubricant created by Kano Laboratories. Based on its cousin, Kroil, Silikroil is engi- neered to loosen frozen metal parts and provide silicone-enhanced lubrication to keep parts moving. Kroil?s high solvency penetrating oils first penetrate to one-millionth inch spaces to break the bonds due to rust, corrosion, contamination or compression and provide lubrication at the first molecular level. Once freed, the dimethyl silicones then provide extra long-lasting lubrica- tion to keep parts moving. Kano Laboratories is the lead- ing manufacturer of penetrating oils and has served the Fortune 500 since 1939. www.kanolabs.com Swiber to Save With Royston?s Enginei The Swiber Group company, Newcruz Offshore Marine Services, has become the first in the Asian market to take advantage of the cost benefits of the engineifuel management system from Royston Limited. Installed aboard Swiber?s new offshore support vessel, the Swiber Carina is being used to pro- vide real time fuel consumption details simultaneously in the head office and on board. In separate trials an enginei system has achieved fuel savings of up to 20 per- cent. Swiber management is hoping that similar savings will prove possible with its new support vessel. www.enginei.co.uk nv-charts Launches Chesapeake Bay Chart Setsnv-charts has produced new chart regions for Chesapeake Bay.
