First Interactive Shiphandling

Simulators From Ship Analytics

Being Commissioned

This month, June 1985, the Sea- farers International Union will com- mission what is reported to be the world's first interactive, color day, night and dusk visual shiphandling simulators. Located at the Harry

Lundeberg School of Seamanship,

Piney Point, Md., this facility con- tains a full bridge simulator and three radar bridge simulators.

These bridges will operate interac- tively in the same visual data base or indepently in separate visual data bases. Ship Analytics, North Ston- ington, Conn., designed and built this facility utilizing their modular

Pilotship and Schoolship simulation technology interfacing visual sys- tems between the full bridge and the radar cubicles.

Ship Analytics utilized its School- ship configuration to provide basic shiphandling training capability within a radar cubicle at moderate cost and within a small space.

Schoolship provides high resolution, color day, night and dusk visual scenes up to 110 degrees horizontal field of view, complementary bridge and navigation equipment and hy- drodynamic models interfaced with the radar simulator. The Schoolship configuration can be conveniently upgraded to the Pilotship configu- ration as training demands in- crease.

Ship Analytics utilized its Pilot- ship configuration to provide senior officer shiphandling training capa- bility within the full bridge setting for collision avoidance, piloting and navigation, docking, anchoring, tug

Pilotship provides ultra high resolution, color day, night and dusk visual scenes up to 230 degrees horizontal field of view including aft view for tow opera- tions. Included in the Pilotship sim- ulation are interchangeable sets of bridge equipment which reflect the differences between deep draft and tug controls and displays interfaced with appropriate hydrodynamic models and the radar simulator.

The Pilotship simulator configu- ration was successfully installed and has been in operation for one year, upgrading the skills of hundreds of pilots, merchant marine and U.S. navy officers at the Maritime Train- ing and Research Center, Toledo,

Ohio. Operational experience over this period demonstrated an avail- ability level which exceeded 98 per- cent with less than $10,000 spare utilization. Ship Analytics is pres- ently interfacing the Pilotship tech- nology with its combat information center simulation to provide a ship- handling training capability for the

U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New

London, Conn. This system is scheduled for delivery in late 1985.

In addition to supplying complete shiphandling Pilotship and School- ship simulators, Ship Analytics of- fers full shiphandling training courses conducted by expert in- structors at the firm's own facili- ties.

Free color literature is available which describes Ship Analytics' ability to meet any simulation train- ing requirement from design to manufacture and from operation to instruction.

Sealol: Dependable

Stern Tube Sealing.

Because stern tube seals take a beating, you need confidence that they won't fail when you're miles from port. You'll get it when your ships are equipped with EG&G Sealol split stern tube seals.

Dependable? You bet they are — these seals have been fully tested and qualified by the U.S. Navy for all surface ship appli- cations. They're built by the company that makes every stern tube seal for U.S. Navy nuclear submarines. And each seal incorporates the precision and experience of over four decades of EG&G Sealol aircraft sealing technology.

Key benefits of EG&G Sealol split stern tube seals: • Made in two 180° sections for easy removal and repair without pulling the shaft. • Seal face inserts are replaceable, for more cost-efficient maintenance. • Seal design accommodates large axial and radial shaft movement. • Longer service life than most other water lubricated systems. • No special lubrication or filtration is needed — service maintenance is routine.

Find out how EG&G Sealol split stern tube seals can help keep your ships operating more dependably — new bottoms or retrofits. Contact EG&G Sealol, Engineered n
