A New View In Bridge Design

Introduced for the first time at the Ft. Lauderdale

Boat Show and exhibited for the first time at Euro- port, Kelvin Hughes' new MANTA Integrated Bridge

System offers vessel owners a unique new look in bridge design. Developed in consultation with one of the world's premier SuperYacht designers, Jon Ban- nenberg, the system uses flat screen technology with a space saving and ergonomic design.

The system's "At Sea" mode entails the units five displays operating as multi- functional, interchangeable Radar,

ECDIS, Conning Display, Collision

Assessment and Avoidance System and a

Alarm Monitoring and Control/Communications sys- tem.

In "Harbor" mode, the displays can be used for gen- eral ship's monitoring and control functions, such as power management, bilge, fuel and water tank con- trol, fierce detection and air-conditioning.

Thrane & Thrane Expands

Communications Capabilities

Thrane &

Thrane has developed a

Global Marine

Executive

Office suite, combining mandatory Inmarsat

GMDSS with a fully-fledged executive office communication suite including

Internet, e-mail and fax.

Based upon a software interface for- mulated by Thrane & Thrane engineers, the new product offers users with a vari- ety of different information technology and communications backgrounds for any type of information exchange — at any time from any place.

Extending beyond the Captain's quar- ters, linking every workstation to the

Inmarsat global communication net- work, the system also enables the con- nection of a DECT base station to serve cordless handsets on deck, or on quay- side when in port.

Hvide Marine Continues

With Malin 2000

Hvide Marine has purchased the

Malin 2000 analyzer — a new low cost portable precision diesel engine analyz- er — for vessel Ambrose Channel.

Malin 2000 also increases the speed, accuracy and reliability of determining the health of the main and generator diesel engines. Information can be rapidly gathered and downloaded to a desktop PC, while a Windows-based software program, known as the MK-5 generates a drawcard, indicator and derivative. The program also offers an immediate check on the fuel injection system, power output of each cylinder, fuel injection timing and engine balance trends.

Laurin Maritime (America) is provid- ing MV Sunny Blossom with Malin 3000 MK-5 — a portable diesel engine analyzer with angular velocity sensor.

WSmart Electronic

Level Switch with

The Sea Switch Two was designed and patented for all tank applications. The Sea Switch Two offers a reliable solution for liquid level detection and control for cargo, ballast, and storage tanks, without any moving parts.

The Sea Switch Two uses a fully static system that is based on the propagation of an acoustic wave into a metallic rod. A piezo-electric sensing element produces a wave along the rod. As the liquid reaches the sensing element the oscilla- tion stops and the alarm is activated.

The Sea Switch Two sensor detects high, high- high, or low level in any liquid with an alarm output given by a dry contact or current loop change 6-18 mA. • Easy installation • Self-test built-in • Fully static system - no moving parts
