Wynholds Company Will

Provide Computer Systems

For Maersk Line Ships

The Hans W. Wynholds Com- pany (HWW) of Cupertino, Calif., recently signed its third major maritime contract—a multi-year project with Maersk Line, Ltd. of

New York—to provide computer hardware, software, documenta- tion, training, and support for both shipboard and shoreside applica- tions. The hardware will be the

HP250 super-micro computers manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.

The five systems include three identical shipboard computer sys- tems for the administration of crew payroll/overtime and for spare parts inventory control. The Maersk ships will be at sea for extended periods of time; contact between the shipboard and New York office computers will be maintained by satellite communication. A spe- cially designed electronic mail ca- pability will automate the com- puter linkup and minimize the data transmission expenses.

One home office system will handle corporate accounting and vessel/voyage accounting, provid- ing special management reports broken down by ship, voyage, agent, and account number. All of the computers will have word pro- cessing and electronic spreadsheet capability.

HWW computerized the three new c-9 containerships for Ameri- can President Lines, and also pro- vides hardware, software, and sup- port services to Pacific-Gulf Marine of New Orleans.

Parkway Adds Improved

Features To Its Ocean

Jacket Buoyancy System

Parkway Systems recently in- troduced several new features in its total buoyancy compensator (BC) system, the Ocean Jacket, providing divers with maximum comfort and performance.

The inflator hose and O/P valve have been moved to the top of the shoulder for better access. Inflator and quick-dump valve controls re- main closely grouped for one-hand operation. The shoulders have a new contour shape for comfort and mobility, and a new Fastex* buckle has been added to the chest strap for easy snap-on. The system provides 44 pounds of lift.

Like all Parkway BCs, the Ocean

Jacket can be inflated orally or with C02 detonator, and includes the Softouch® power inflator. The oral inflation hose now incorpo- rates the QD valve for extra con- venience. The Ocean Jacket has

Parkway's specially designed, 15-mil polyurethane zip-out blad- der to balance air and distribute buoyancy.

The jacket is made of rugged 430-denier nylon with reinforced seams. Other features include Vel- cro-fastened tabs to hold regula- tor, octopus, and gauge hoses out of the way, and self-draining pock- ets. Color is blue with silver trim.
