PRODUCTSHigh Speed Ferry Powered by Wärtsilä Waterjets Wärtsilä has provided waterjets for the worlds fastest ferry. In ad- dition to two of its LJX1720SR axial waterjets, Wärtsilä has also supplied an advanced propulsion control system for the Francisco. Wärtsiläs waterjets incorporate a high level of ef? ciency, with compact dimensions enabled the waterjets to be in-stalled within the ferrys transom, thus saving valuable space. Wärtsiläs Lipstronic 7000 propulsion control sys- tem for maneuvering the vessel gives effective, reliable con- trol of all the waterjets and is very easy to use. Designed in accordance with IMO regulations, it ful? lls requirements of leading classi? cation societies. www.wartsila.com Torqeedo Electric Engines Power Tour Boat No visit to the Oklahoma City Zoo feels complete without a cruise aboard the popular Safari Voyage, a guided boat tour on tran-quil Zoo Lake. Thanks to a recent conversion to Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 engines, the zoos ? eet now delivers dependable, uninterrupted ser- vice for the nearly one million guests annually. The zoo cruise relies on two 40 x 12 pollution-free electric boats, each with a 50-passenger capacity. The demands of heavy commercial usage resulted in signi? cant engine overheat- ing and dependability problems. The recently installed Torqeedo Cruise 4.0 models solved the zoo boats issues. www.torqeedo.com Build Your Own ATL FueLocker Aero Tec Laboratories (ATL) is offering their world-renowned custom fuel bladder services to the yachting community. ATLs series of FueLocker fuel bladders provide a vital auxiliary fuel source that al- lows yachts to reach exotic destina- tions without the burden of their vessels limited fuel ca- pacity. ATL realizes that deck space is extremely valuable. In most instances, standard deck mounted rigid tanks are cumbersome and simply consume too much space. When not in use, all ATL bladders are completely collapsible which makes for effortless transport and compact storage. www.boatbladders.com Emsys Selected for Scrubber Monitoring Applications Emsys, the laser based emissions monitoring system from US tech- nology ? rm W R Systems, Ltd. (WR), have now been selected as the compliance monitor system on 5 differing scrubber types. The Emsys system uses laser sen- sor technology with which exhaust gas is measured in the same form as in the stack and not conditioned, cooled or dried. The laser allows accurate measurements of emissions at low gas temperatures with high humidity present in the exhaust stream. Signi? cant bene? ts of the technology are based around the elimination of consumable spare parts and regular maintenance. www.emsysmarine.com Krill Systems Bunkering System Software The advanced, Krill Bunkering System software (KBS-100) can be ordered as a separate stand-alone system, incorporated into an existing Krill system, or ordered as part of a larger Krill VFMMS system. Krill Bun- kering System uses OIML/MID approved mass-measuring meters to minimize inaccuracies found in two and three phase HFO transfers. Flow Rate, Temperature and Den- sity are displayed in real time and a display area shows the total volume of bunkers delivered, ticket number, start and stop times. Back-? ow oil is measured as a negative and re- ? ected as bunkers not having been delivered. www.krillsystems.com New STAUFF Mini Water Vac Cleans Oil Continuously The STAUFF Mini Water Vac pu- ri? es hydraulic system oil, eliminat- ing water, gas and particulate matter, dehydrating and cleaning most types of oils such as lubricating, hydraulic, transformer, and switch oils while it neither removes nor alters oil addi- tives. The water removal process is based on pure vacuum evaporation in- side a vacuum chamber at a maximum temperature of +65 °C / +149 °F. Solid particle removal is achieved through a STAUFF Systems Micro Filter. The Mini Water Vac offers protection against malfunctions, breakdowns and system failures, while reducing oil consumption and oil disposal. www.stauffusa.com MN 117www.marinelink.com MN Sept2013 Layout 112-122.indd 1178/29/2013 12:20:36 PM
