Tracor Hydronautics Delivers

Part Task Ship-Handling Simulator

To Panama Canal Commission

Tracor Hydronautics recently de- livered a Part Task Training Aid

Marine Simulator to the Panama

Canal Commission. The simulator is now located in Balboa, Republic of

Panama. It will be used as part of an overall program in the training of pilots for the Panama Canal in ship handling.

The simulator was purchased from Tracor Hydronautics as a re- sult of a competitive procurement based on specifications and require- ments developed by the Panama

Canal Commission. The system sup- plied was based on an evolution of a similar system already developed by

Tracor.

The Panama Canal Commission

Part Task Simulator consists of a student's station and an instructor's station. The student's station in- cludes a 19-inch color CRT display showing a bird's-eye view of own ship and its surroundings; it also includes a graphical CRT display of ship control information. The in- structor's station contains dupli- cates of the student's station dis- plays as well as a ship control con- sole, a CRT terminal to control the simulator and a plotter and printer.

The complete system runs on a

Micro/PDP 11 computer from the

Digital Equipment Corporation.

New York Section SNAME Meeting

Discusses Drydock Certification

A recent meeting of the New York

Metropolitan Section of The Soci- ety of Naval Architects and Marine

Engineers was held at the American

Bureau of Shipping Building, a new location for the Section's meetings.

A paper titled "Criteria for Capacity

Certification of Drydocks and Sig- nificance of Classification and U.S.

Navy Standards as They Affect

Ship Safety" was presented by

Paul S. Crandall, president of

Crandall Dry Dock Engineers, Inc.

Extremely expensive and sensi- tive warships, as well as valuable merchant ships, are being handled in a wide variety of drydocks, Mr.

Crandall said, many of them not originally built for modern vessels and often operated by personnel with very rudimentary training and experience and with limited engi- neering back-up. Only since 1973 has Lloyd's Register of Shipping published rules for steel floating drydocks, and the American Bureau of Shipping rules were created only recently.

Following the example of the

Fifth Naval District, the Naval Sea

Systems Command in Washington started the MIL-STD-1625 code us- ing very limited personnel and funds to prepare a drydock certifi- cation program to attempt to insure ship safety in all docks.

The honored guest at the meeting was Alvin E. Cox. He retired from

J.J. Henry Co., Inc. as a vice presi- dent, and has been an active mem- ber of SNAME for more than 40 years.

Pictured above with the simulator are (from left to right) Bent K. Jakobsen, Tracor Hydron- autics; Capt. G. A. McDonald; Capt. Robert D. Valentine;Capt George A. Markham; and

Heidi Steiner of Panama Canal Commission.

Principals at recent N.Y. Section SNAME meeting included (seated. L to R): Paul S. Cran- dall, author, president of Crandell Dry Dock Engineers; William H. Garzke Jr., chairman;

Alvin E. Cox, honored guest; standing are Daniel Savitsky, co-chairman of Papers Commit- tee; and John H. Higginbotham, vice chairman. 48 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
