PRODUCTSThe Future of Simulation Technology in Paducah The Seamen?s Church Institute (SCI) has signed a contract with Kongsberg Maritime for a complete overhaul of maritime simulator tech- nology at its Center for Maritime Education campus in Paducah, KY. Installation begins in August to re- place existing wheelhouse architec- ture with entirely new mechanisms and navigation tools that more close- ly mirror contemporary equipment and construction of modern vessels. The new simulators strengthen ser- vice to American mariners. www.seamanschurch.org KEP to Distribute for Orlaco Kessler-Ellis Products (KEP) has been selected as the Americas dis-tributor of Orlaco?s specialized com- mercial marine camera solutions. Effective immediately, KEP will sell, support and locally warehouse Or- laco?s full line of marine monitor- ing systems that include compact, self-cleaning, zoom, PTZ zoom, and thermal imaging cameras. The new improved Orlaco camera series is the most robust in the industry ? ideally suited for extreme marine conditions the series provides a crystal clear view around any vessel in any situation. www.kepmarine.com 20,000 Lumens of Pure Power Commercial workboats demand du- rable lighting capable of withstand-ing punishing conditions. The new HypaLUME LED  oodlight from Hella marine is speci cally designed to meet the rigors of any marine work environment. The most pow- erful  oodlight ever offered by Hella, high performance HypaLUME also delivers energy ef ciency. While comparable to a 400 W metal halide  tting in light output, it consumes just 240W (10 amps at 24V). www.hellamarine.com Axis launches nitrogen-pressurized stainless steel HDTV PTZ dome cameras The new top-of-the-line AXIS Q60- S PTZ Dome Network Cameras in nitrogen-pressurized stainless steel casings are ideal for surveillance and remote monitoring applications in marine and oil and gas environ- ments. The rust-free cameras can re- sist the corrosive effect of sea water and cleaning chemicals, and with-stand high-pressure steam cleaning. Pressurized nitrogen prevents inter- nal condensation. Axis Commu-nications cameras enable 360° cover- age of wide areas in resolutions up to HDTV 1080p. www.axis.com Kongsberg at San Jacinto College Maritime Technology and Training Center At the site of the region?s newest maritime training facility, the indus- try?s most sought after training tech- nology ? the newest versions Kongs- berg?s Polaris 7.2 ship simulation software ? has arrived. San Jacinto College received three interactive, full-mission, ship bridge simulators, thanks to a collaborative agreement with the Houston Pilots. They will be moved to the 45,000-square-foot Maritime Technology and Training Center once it opens in mid-2015. www.sjcd.edu Atlas Copco?s WEDA Small Pump Range Atlas Copco?s WEDA electric sub- mersible pumps are rated at 1 hp and under, C-UL-US approved, 60 Hz single-phase drainage, sludge and residual pumps.
