Reno Spiteri Opens

Office In Malta

Reno Spiteri

Reno Spiteri has announced the opening of his own technical con- sulting, marine surveying and project management firm. The firm, which operates under the title of Marine Surveys & Serv- ices Bureau, offers its services to shipowners, ship operators, ship charterers, underwriters' survey- ors' organizations, P & I associa- tions, insurance companies direct, classification societies, and all other marine industries. The firm's services are available in Malta, and in all ports and countries with- in the Mediterranean and Western

Europe.

Mr. Spiteri, who is a qualified marine and mechanical engineer, and who also holds diplomas in naval architecture and industrial management, has in the last 20 years followed a continuous ca- reer in the marine field. He has held senior appointments as a marine engineer officer with ma- jor shipping companies, as ship repair manager with Malta Dry- docks, and as engineer and fleet superintendent to Sea Malta Com- pany Ltd.

Marine Surveys & Services Bu- reau is located at 4 Apollo Court,

Dome Str., Fgura, Malta.

Argo Names Nietsch To

Pollution Control Post

H. Erich Nietsch has been ap- pointed marketing manager of the

Pollution Systems Division of Ar- go Marine. Mr. Nietsch will be concerned with the worldwide marketing of marine sanitation equipment, oily water separators, oil sorbents (for oil spills), com- pactors and incinerators.

A marine engineer and Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology graduate, Mr. Nietsch comes to

Argo with over 15 years' experi- ence in the pollution field. Most recently, he was with the Penco

Division of Hudson Engineering as product sales manager in pol- lution control. Previously, he was with Engelhard Industries, where he served as marketing manager for Chloropac (sodium hypochlor- ite generating), and Capac (im- pressed current cathodic protec- tion) Systems. Mr. Nietsch was also previously associated with

Marland/Clear Water. "My Marland/Clear Water ex- perience should be especially val- uable," Mr. Nietsch stated, "since physical/chemical systems are the

December 15, 1978 accepted technology of today for marine sanitation equipment. We have found that the physical/ chemical systems — because they are compact and simple to install and operate — are best suited for shipboard requirements."

The Argo Pollution Systems

Division is capable of provid- ing equipment, renewal parts and service anywhere in the world without delay. For information, write to Erich Nietsch, Argo Ma- rine, 140 Franklin Street, New

York, N.Y. 10013.

Bureau Veritas

Completely Rewrites

Automation Rules

Bureau Veritas has completely rewritten their Rules for the clas- sification of the automation and control systems in unmanned ma- chinery spaces.

The new Rules replace those which have been in use since 1968, and which have been successfully applied to the machinery instal- lations of over 700 ships of all types and sizes.

The new Rules incorporate the

IMCO Recommendations for un- attended machinery spaces, and as set out in IMCO Resolution

A.325.

The Rules define the environ- mental criteria to be met by man- ufacturers of control equipment, who wish to receive Certificates of Approval for their products.

These new Rules are available free, upon request, from Bureau

Veritas, Ocean House, 24-25 Great

Tower Street, London EC3R 5AQ,

England.

Satnav and Omega

Integrated.

The MX 1105 gives you redundant references — the accuracy and all-weather reliability of Satnav with the continuous-fix capability of Omega. Con- stant, up-dated posi- tion fixes from two independent refer- ences. And an alert if there is a significant discrepancy between them.

Omega made useful.

Satnav made better.

It's no secret.

Stand-alone

Omega has some bugs. And Satnav, the most reliable all-weather system available, still requires dead reck- oning between fixes.

So we've taken the best of two worlds to improve the performance of each. The result is the MX 1105

Satellite-Omega Navigator.

Omega That Works.

The MX 1105 automatically synchronizes and tracks three frequencies from all available Omega stations. It automatically computes set and drift, makes skywave corrections, and selects stations — minimizing long-path, modal interference and other Omega errors.

Satnav

Improved.

The accurate satellite fix is used as a reference to calculate Omega skywave correc- tions. You get continuous, accu- rate fix data even during long-term ionospheric disturbances and polar cap anomalies.

Accuracy, Reliability,

Worldwide Support.

Backed by our worldwide service organization — on call any time, any place — the MX 1105 gives you the accuracy of Satnav with continuous-fix

Omega data. And in-service MX 1102 and MX 1112

Satellite Navigators can be upgraded to the MX 1105 configuration.

Call your Magnavox agent to see another example of our application-oriented design exper- tise: the MX 1105.
