Vessels are provided with three years of digital NtMs, allowing autonomous management of paper chart and nautical publi- cations. eNtM can be used stand-alone product or with the compliant eSeries service, ChartWorld?s solution for ECDIS. www.chartworld.com Interlogix Video, Fluidmesh & Pantascene Protect Ferry Passengers 8 million annual passengers travel New York Harbor on NY Waterway ferries, protected by an extensive, state-of-the-art video surveillance system. The system includes hundreds of Interlogix IP and analog cameras, transmitted from moving ferries to a land-based security command center via a fast-roaming wireless mesh network based on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) by Fluid- mesh Networks. Paid for through a grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, deployed Interlogix cameras connect via Fluidmesh?s MPLS-based wireless mesh network. The service provides seamless connectivity to transmit live video from the ferries, terminals and landings. www.interlogix.com/nywaterway WatchStander Non-Lethal Antipiracy System WatchStander LLC has introduced a fully automated system designed to pre- vent pirates and other unwanted individ- uals from boarding ships. The video and data from all incidents will be archived for subsequent transmission to the shipowner and Watch- Stander for training and evidential purposes. The fully automated WatchStander system combines intelligent software with a range of non-lethal countermeasures. The system uses cost-effective high resolution radar to auto- matically identify surrounding traf c and assess behavior over time to identify hostile targets. The system then oper- ates non-lethal countermeasures to respond to the threats. www.watchstander.com Videotel?s Computer Gaming Driven Training Videotel is pioneering a radi- cal new form of training delivery, designed to respond to the de- mands of the post internet age. The ultimate in interactivity, Videotel uses gaming technology to put the learner into a real life scenario, enabling them to apply their knowledge to speci c situations under realistic time pressures. The  rst serious game deals with Entry into Enclosed Spaces, which lends itself ideally to this unique format, putting the learner into a realistic scenario which enables them to apply their knowledge to speci c situa- tions, for both training and assessment. www.videotel.com SmartVIEW: Micr oprocessor-based Control System SmartVIEW allows Carlisle & Finch Products (NightFINDER Systems and Standard Searchlight Products), to be controlled from on board the ship, or from a remote PC ashore. The system includes Proportional-Speed Multi- Functional Joystick, Joysticks which ?intelligently switch? from searchlight to searchlight, an Ethernet Connection allowing digital control throughout the Ship?s IT Net- work, and Remote Internet Control. NightFINDER is the combination of a high Intensity Searchlight and Night Vision Camera integrated onto the same Pan/Tilt Base. SmartVIEW technology allows NightFINDER, as well as any other standard searchlight products to be controlled through the Ship?s Integrated ?Glass? Bridge. www.carlisleÞ nch.comOhmsett Training As the new nontank rules take effect and vessel owners develop plans to respond to oil spills, plans should include response training. Ohmsett has partnered with Tex- as A&M National Spill Control School to offer Oil Spill Response Strategies and Tactics Training. The course is designed to assist oil spill response and management personnel in the development of skills necessary to make quick and informed decisions during oil spill incidents. In addition, it provides hands-on spill re- sponse equipment handling and oil recovery training using full-scale equipment with real oil in the Ohmsett test tank. www.ohmsett.com December 201356 MNMN Dec2013 Layout 50-58.indd 56MN Dec2013 Layout 50-58.indd 5611/25/2013 1:25:06 PM11/25/2013 1:25:06 PM
