Kockums Yard To Build

Universal Ferry For

Polish Shipping Company

Kockums AB in Malmo, Sweden, and the state-owned Polish shipping company Polska

Zeguga Baltycka (PZB) in Kolobrzeg have reached an agreement for the construction of an advanced universal ferry to be delivered in the middle of 1987. The order, worth about 400-mil- lion Swedish Kronor ($48.7 million) fits well into

Kockums' present production program. The fer- ry is intended for transportation of railway freight cars, trucks, cars, and passengers, and will operate between Swinoujscie, Poland, and

Ystad in the south of Sweden.

The choice of main propulsion machinery is pending. Both conventional diesels and a pro- pulsion plant that includes two coal-fired boilers and two four-cylinder steam engines are being considered. If the steam alternative is selected, it will be achieved through close technical coop- eration between PZB and Kockums.

The universal ferry, with an overall length of 508.5 feet and beam of 85.3 feet, has two cargo decks. One is intended for railcars and trucks; the other is suitable for trucks and cars. The latter can also be accommodated in hoistable decks. The vessel will have a capacity for more than 500 passengers.

Transtema Kockumation

Introduces New Computer

System For Shipping Industry

Transtema Kockumation, Sweden, formerly the electronics division of Kockumation, well- known producers of the Loadmaster and Level- master computer systems, recently introduced a new system under the trade name Shipmaster.

The system is designed to furnish the ship- ping industry with a high-performance-product package which will facilitate full integration aboard any type of vessel, as well as the office ashore.

The hardware of the powerful general purpose computer is tested and type approved by the

American Bureau of Shipping; the Bureau Veri- tas; Det norske Veritas; Lloyd's Register; Nip- pon Kaiji Kyokai; and Rina.

The program package comprises all the Load- master functions, which have been upgraded to meet the latest specifications. The functions include: inventory; on-line presentation of tank levels; planned maintenance; and office automa- tion programs.

The system offers the possibilities of an inte- grated information system; modular, expanda- ble and flexible hardware/software; local-area networking; and ship/shore communications.

The Shipmaster has already generated a great deal of interest from shipowners and shipyards resulting in orders of 25 units from such such companies as Island Navigation Corp., Hong

Kong; Ned Lloyd, the Netherlands; Neste Oy,

Finland; Nordenfjeldske, Norway; and Johnson

Line and Trans Consultants, Sweden, Some of the owners have to install the Shipmaster in their offices as well.
