STN Atlas Wins $4.5M

VTS Contract

STN Atlas Elektronik has been awarded a $4.5 million contract by the Polish National Coast &

Harbor Authority for the design and installation of an advanced

VTS system for monitoring and control of traffic in the Pomeranian

Bay region and its approaches.

Due for commissioning in

February 1999, the system will comprise two interlinked main control centers at the inland port of Szczecin and at Swinoujscie on the Baltic coast, serving traffic to and from Denmark, Germany and

Sweden. Each is to be equipped with a series of Atlas VTS work- stations for automatic tracking of all vessels, as well as support of channel pilotage operations between the two centers. The pur- pose-designed units will also facili- tate overlay of all radar-derived targets on electronic charts.

The WEKA boxcoolers are installed in all types of river and seagoing ships as well as in stationary vessels, dredgers and pontoons.

Due to mounting water pollution hence the increased wear of cooling sytems, a closed circuit cooling system became necessary. The solution was and still is the boxcooler.

The principle is based on the fact, that warm water by its lower density rises, thus causing a thermosiphon circulation.
