Ferrous Adds New FE-4

Manufacturing Facility —Literature Available

Due to increasing demand, Fer- rous Corporation (Bellevue, Wash.), manufacturer of FE-4 marine grade combustion catalyst since 1969, has added a manufacturing facil- ity in Ridgefield, N.J. The new fa- cility will provide faster and more efficient service for East Coast users and insures a constant sup- ply of FE-4.

Ferrous currently supplies over 60 oceangoing vessels, many of which will be serviced by the new facility. FE-4 is also manufactured in New Lenox (Chicago), 111., and in Seattle, Wash.

Ferrous has nine warehouse fa- cilities for the combustion cata- lyst: Staten Island, N.Y.; North

Charleston, S.C.; Miami, Fla.; New

Orleans, La.; San Pedro and Oak- land, Calif.; Honolulu, Hi.; St.

Croix, Virgin Islands; and, Seat- tle, Wash.

Texas Instruments Unveils

New Loran C Navigator —Literature Available

Texas Instruments recently in- troduced the TI 9900 II Loran C navigator, a complete Loran C- based navigation system with the performance, features, and accu- racy of the popular TI 9900, plus an exceptional array of additional capabilities.

The TI 9900 II features 100 waypoints that can be entered as time differences or latitude/longi- tude coordinates. Trips of up to 50 legs can be stored, with reverse ca- pabilities. A unique trip planning function allows the user to com- pute course and distance between any two waypoints without receiv- ing a Loran signal. Additional ca- pabilities of the system include automatic waypoint sequencing and the display of range and bearing to the next waypoint as each one is passed.

According to Gary Howe, TI marine marketing manager, "The

TI 9900 II has been designed with the user in mind. A sealed, fully backlit keyboard is provided, with oversized keys, not a membrane key pad. This makes entering in- formation fast, sure, and easy, even with gloves on."

In addition, most of the TI 9900

II navigation functions—range to destination, course-over-bottom, cross track error, speed-over-bot- tom, time-to-go, ETA, velocity- made-good, magnetic variation, and many more—can be instantly dis- played with only one simple key- press. A large, clear alphanumeric dot matrix display provides navi- gation information in plain, easy- to-read English, eliminating con- fusion caused by similar-looking letters and numbers, such as "b" and "6."

Six highly advanced, electronic notch filters are built into the TI 9900 II, providing precise protec- tion from signal interference no matter where the vessel is oper- ated. The feature-oriented unit also includes three separate alarm sys- tems for safer navigation.

Lord Marine Fenders Are

Manufactured In 22 Sizes —Literature Available

High-efficiency energy absorp- tion is the advantage claimed for the F Series of marine fenders manufactured by Lord Corpora- tion. Intended for sheltered or ex- posed berthing facilities, these fenders are available in 22 sizes, with absorption capacities ranging from 1.4 to 124 foot-kips. They are used with wale or frontal systems, and capable of shear deflection with minimal change in energy capacity. F Series fenders are said to be maintenance-free; the elas- tomer used provides resistance to heat, cold, ozone, saline solution, and conforms to the ASTM D-2000 designation.

This fendering is a rectangular elastomer section with steel mounting plates permanently bonded to both ends. Used as a col- umn under load, the long axis buc- kles, providing deflection and ab- sorption of the energy imparted by a berthing vessel.

Some 7,500 F Series marine fenders are performing success- fully at more than 200 facilities around the world. Shipowners and port authorities appreciate their performance, durability, economy, and maintenance-free dependabil- ity, the manufacturer says.
