PRODUCTSRaymarine?s LightHouse II User Interface Raymarine?s LightHouse User Interface is the ninth release of Raymarine?s multifunction dis- play user interface, and has been redesigned to give owners a sim- pler, more user-friendly experience. Users will notice the new home screen with easy-to-read icons for all their favor- ite apps; now enhanced by completely new, high-contrast color scheme options for added clarity and readability in all light conditions. A new LightHouse II menu system allows quicker access to frequently used features and con- trols, the improved visual indicators and touch-friendly slider controls, making navigating LightHouse II as easy as using a smart phone. www.raymarine.com / www.FLIR.com NAUTIS Simulators for Amsterdam Tug & OSV Training Center Iskes Towage & Salvage has signed an agreement with VSTEP for the delivery of two NAUTIS Tug and Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) simulators. These simula- tors are the  rst units purchased for the new Iskes / Damen Training Center in Amsterdam. VSTEP will provide a 360-degree NAUTIS Full Mission Tug Simulator and a 240-degree NAUTIS Desktop Train- er. These Tug and OSV simulators will be expanded with another 360-degree Full Mission Tug Simulator so that a complete exercise scenario with the assisted vessel and two tugs (one at the stern and one at the bow) can be conducted. www.nautissim.com Wichita Clutch AirMaKKs SSB Brakes for Offshore Wichita Clutch has added air cooled, spring-set, air released AirMaKKs SSB high torque brakes to its AquaMaKKs family of clutches and brakes. AirMaKKs SSB models utilize the basic, easy-to- maintain, pin-style, modular design of AquaMaKKs including the brake housing with torque plates installed instead of water jackets. Units feature three-part epoxy marine-grade paint and corrosion- resistant coatings for added protection on offshore rig ap- plications. AirMaKKs brakes, featuring stainless steel torque plates, are also available for marine deck applications where sea spray and direct seawater splash are prevalent. www.wichitaclutch.com Imtech Marine introduces SeaPilot 76 Imtech Marine?s new multifunc- tional SeaPilot 76 can be turned into a fully approved combined sea and river pilot and can be connected to both proportional and on/off valves. This makes the modernized Seapilot 76 a good addition to the Sigma-line of Radio Zeeland. The SeaPilot 76 is suit- able for the  shing industry as well as inland, coastal and deepsea shipping. The SeaPilot 76 is designed with clear graphical displays and easy to use control buttons. By con- necting a rate of turn indicator and a FU steering handle, the SeaPilot76 becomes an approved riverpilot system. www.imtechmarine.com IHC Sealing Solutions introduce SUPREME Athmos zero-pollution seal The SUPREME Athmos seal en- ables vessels ? with limited draft up to  ve meters ? to prevent oil from be- ing emitted into the environment. An innovative system has been developed to provide a safe and sustainable op- eration by capturing every possible drop of oil. Water is prevented from entering the system by collecting any leak- ages from the seal into a drain tank. Once full, this tank is automatically drained into the vessel?s general waste oil tank. The SUPREME Athmos seal has a fail-safe option, incorporating a condition-monitoring function. In the un- likely event of the system failing, it switches to the normal sealing mode, the drain tank captures the little oil that the seal uses and the tank indicates when it should be emptied. www.ihcmerwede.com Canada?s Most Powerful Tug Built With ShipConstructor As a 100 ton bollard pull ice class tug, the OCEAN Tundra is the most powerful harbor tugboat ever built in Canada. SSI?s Ship- Constructor CAD/CAM appli- cation was used to construct this vessel. Robert Allan Ltd. produced the design and SSI?s dealer, Navware, and the associated marine engineering  rm, Navtech, worked with OCEAN Industries during the production design and engineering of the tugboat. The project was so successful that OCEAN Industries decided to standardize on using ShipConstructor for future proj- ects. This is a natural evolution from the company?s previ- ous reliance on generic AutoCAD products. www.ssi-corporate.com MN 57www.marinelink.com MN Dec2013 Layout 50-58.indd 57MN Dec2013 Layout 50-58.indd 5711/25/2013 1:34:38 PM11/25/2013 1:34:38 PM
