Eldridge, USCG, U.S. represent- ative on the IMCO Dangerous

Goods Committee, will chair the panel session.

Technical Developments

The final day of the MariChem 80 meeting will examine some of the technical developments that have, and continue to make pos- sible, the bulk transportation of chemicals. Stainless steel linings and tanks are employed widely in bulk chemical transportation, al- though not universally suitable for all products, and a paper at the conference will report on their corrosion-resistance to chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Another paper, by two research engineers from Det norske Veri- tas, will discuss failures in stain- less steel tanks and pipelines, and propose preventive measures.

A panel session at the final day's meeting, with representa- tives from manufacturers Clouth

Gummiwerke, Camrex, and others, will discuss in-service results with typical chemical ship operators.

Speakers from the Frank Mohn

Company, manufacturers of a well-known range of chemical so much in so many places.

Radio facsimile receivers feature push-button station selection and nigh-contrast 12-inch recording.

Raytheon gives you a choice. The

RAYFAX 300 has 8 interchangeable push-button channels with a separate recorder. The RAYFAX 1200 offers 16 interchangeable push-button channels with a built-in recorder that operates unattended with automatic picture start-stop. Both units provide: • Onboard recording of World

Meteorological Organization weather charts, fishery charts, daily news for mariners, etc. • High-quality 12-inch wide reproduction on odorless, dust-free aluminized paper. • Long-life recording system with self- adjusting pens. • Advanced solid-state circuitry. • Simple operation.

The RAYFAX 300 Recorder is available separately for vessels equipped with a suitable wide-band receiver.

RADIO FACSIMILE RECEIVER

Two Loran-C's with U.S.C.G. approved accuracy. One also a chronometer. One with options for steering, Lat/Long, and course /speed readouts.

Just turn a selector of the RAYNAV 3000 to "T". The upper readout becomes a chronometer accurate to 2 seconds a month... the lower readout a push-button stop-watch.

Our RAYNAV 6000 has optional plug-in boards for steering a computed course to a selected destination, and for direct

Lat/Long and course/speed readouts.

Both use mini-computers for optimum

Loran-C accuracy. Both offer: • Precise third-cycle matching. • Initial fixes accurate within 500 yards, repeated fixes within 50 feet. • Simultaneous tracking of multiple secondaries for verification of primary fixes. • Turn-on self-testing. • Continuous monitoring of

Loran-C signal quality and strength. • Manual cycle matching for extended groundwave and nighttime skywave coverage. • Provision for remote indicators, plotters, etc.

Fathometer" Recorder sounds to 1370 fathoms with 6 overlapping ranges.

Designed for large, ocean-going vessels, the R-8220 sounds at 24 kHz with 600 watts of power... provides very precise recordings of underwater topography down to 1370 fathoms. Features include: • 6 over-lapping ranges of 0-110, 100-210, 200-310, 300-400, 0-720, and 650-1370 fathoms. • 7-inch calibrated recording paper. • Fool-proof magnetic keying. • Electronic fix marker. • Automatic time-varied gain to eliminate unwanted echoes near surface.

The R-8220 is completely self-contained except for hull-mounted transducer.

Fathometer " Digital Sounder goes to 500 feet or 240 fathoms with adjustable depth alarm.

A proven navigational sounder, the

DE-740 uses special signal processing to eliminate false bottom readings from schools of fish, thermal gradients, etc. • Large, easy-to-read LED display. • 1.5 to 500-foot and 0.2 to 240-fathom ranges. • 1% sounding accuracy. • Bottom alarm adjustable in 1-foot or 1-fathom increments down to 299 feet or 240 fathoms.

Designed for console or bulkhead mounting, the DE-740 is supplied with a remote equipment cabinet and a hull- mounted transducer.

Tough "specs" assure dependable operation in the harsh marine environment.

Raytheon products are designed and built to the toughest specifications in the industry. In onboard use and in the laboratory they have proven immune to voltage irregularities, temperature extremes in a corrosive salt vapor atmosphere, excessive shock and vibration. Maintenance, if required, is fast and easy.

At previous MariChem confer- ences, some ship operators have complained that industry fails to provide the right equipment need- ed to monitor hazardous cargoes;

MariChem 80 will give both sides the chance to air their views and to report on progress.

Title XI Approved For $39.4-Million Tug/Barge

Units For Bulkfleet

The Maritime Administration has approved in principle an ap- plication from Bulkfleet Limited

No. 1 and No. 2 of Houston for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of two deep-notch, tug/barge units.

McDermott Incorporated of

New Iberia, La., is building the 7,800-bhp tugs; General Dynam- ics' Quincy, Mass., yard is con- structing the 502-foot, 28,000-dwt barges. Scheduled to be delivered by the end of this year, the ves- sels will be used to carry petro- leum products between Philadel- phia and New England ports.

The Title XI guarantee covers $17,239,000 for each tug/barge unit, or 871/' percent of each unit's $19,703,060 estimated cost. 31
