Ten Tankers To Be Equipped

With Sperry Bridge Systems

Ship sets of the most advanced integrated bridge systems will grace the deckhouses of 10 OBO vessels and tankers of up to the 258,- 000-ton class 'being built in Italy for the Lolli-

Ghetti Group. Delivery of the multifunctional equipment by Sperry Marine Systems will be- gin in 1974 to Italcantieri and Breda Shipyards.

The Lolli-Gbetti Group's multimillion-dollar contract with Sperry Marine Systems is part of their program to increase efficiency of ship performance, improve safety, and protect their considerable capital investment.

Sperry Marine Systems' computer-aided package performs the functions of navigation and collision avoidance, docking steering, as well as stress and stability prediction. These

Loili-Ghetti Group OBO vessels and tankers will have the capability of tracking up to 20 targets simultaneously and displaying collision avoidance data in graphic form. This unique system identifies collision avoidance maneu- vers without trial headings. The system also displays regular radar data.

The Integrated Navigation System will com- pute and continuously display latitude, longi- tude set and drift, course-made^good, rhumb- line sailing, and other data. Inputs to it will be made from the Omega receiver, speed log and compass. Celestial fixes and other position fixes can be inputted by manual keyboard. Out- puts will be by TTY teletypewriter printouts.

The Sperry Doppler Sonar Docking and Navi- gation System increases accuracy of naviga- tion by obtaining speed over-the-ground as well as assisting in docking, -mooring, and anchor-drop maneuvers. The Tanker Stress

Predictor employs the system digital computer for calculating factors such as hull longitudinal strength, trim, stability, draft, displacement, and deadweight. This enables optimum loading and maintains vessel trim under varying sea conditions. In the future, the same data can be relayed automatically over the international communication links to a shore-ibased system.

Heading references will be two MK 37 gyro- compasses with repeaters. A dual course and rudder angle recorder is also outfitted in the wheelhouse. Ship's deepwater speed will be de- livered by the SRD301 Doppler 'Speed Log, which does not require a protrusion below the hull. Position will be sensed by the Sperry1

Omega Receiver.
