play in the SMM'86 range of exhib- its.

Ship's cranes are getting slimmer, more mobile, and faster. The Nenz- ing-based Liebherr-Werk has set new standards in high-technology and safe, economical onboard crane operations with its new crane sys- tems for combined river and sea- going vessels. This new generation of slimline cranes with a capacity of up to 80 tons will be on view. The slim design of these new models, the

B/SM and the BW/SM, not only prevent any unnecessary loss of con- tainer storage space but also means that even containers placed right next to the cranes can be handled easily.

Special-purpose cranes for Rhine and seagoing ships will be on view at the Hatlapa stand. These extremely low-profile cranes are especially de- signed to enable seagoing container- ships to pass under the bridges of the Lower Rhine. This well-known

German manufacturer of deck equipment for seagoing ships will also exhibit an extensive range of warping capstans, warping winches, and deck machinery with high- and low-pressure operation.

The "Profi" pneumatic hoists manufactured by J.D. Neuhaus are distinguished by their light weight and impressive lifting capacity.

Whether designed to lift 100 kilo- grams or 100 tons, these pneumatic hoists are said to be ideally suited for use in shipyards or on board ships because of their sensitive con- trols and damp-resistant qualities.

Deck equipment will also be on view at Kvaerner Brug's stand. This subsidiary of the Norwegian

Kvaerner Group was founded in

Bremen at the end of 1985. It sup- plies hatch covers of all shapes and sizes for oceangoing ships, including self-actuated covers, and specialist systems for RO/RO ships and bulk carriers.

SMM has always included a wide range of exhibits covering the field of navigation. Honeywell ELAC

Nautik GmbH will unveil its brand new LAZ 2310 color echo sounder, a compact but extremely powerful in- strument for the fishing industry.

The company's new long-range FS 3700 CS color sonar with an all- round display on a 14-inch screen will also be on display.

The Hamburg firm of C. Plath will present a complete line of navi- gation equipment. With its Satellite

Adaptive Fuel Economizing System,

Plath has integrated some standard navigation equipment to form a moderately priced system that not only increases safety on board ships at sea but also reduces fuel con- sumption. Exhibitor H.E. Eissing will present a distribution network for the navigation equipment manu- factured by Plath and other compa- nies, as well as an installation and maintenance service.

A powerful 400-watt lamp for shipping will be on view at the stand of WISKA Hoppmann & Mulsow.

This panel lamp made of seawater- resistant aluminum insures op- timum distribution of light through a reflector made of pure aluminum.

Another exhibitor, Zollner, will dis- play its acoustic signaling equip-

Shipboard Safety

Safety technology in shipbuilding and ship operations is another as- pect that will be shown in many dis- plays at SMM'86. Whereas control- lable-pitch and lateral-thrust pro- pellers, fully automatic onboard operating systems, satellite commu- nications, and computers have be- come an integral part of ocean ship- ping during the past two decades,

SMM'86 will show that the latest developments are also concentrat- ing on safety aspects and environ- mental protection.

The new IMO safety regulations have not only been embodied in newly passed national regulations and statutory provisions, but have also been increasingly taken into account in newly developed safety equipment for shipboard use. The same is true of the numerous inno- vations in the field of on-board (continued)

Operations in Explosion Hazard Zones?

Use JDN Air Hoists and JDN Monorail Air Hoists.

Compressed air is the absolutely safe form of drive energy for use in explosion hazard zones.

On the one hand, because air does not cause sparks and cannot, therefore, lead to ignition - and, on the other hand, because no potentially harmful or even lethal electric shocks occur, even in wet operating areas. JDN lifting equipment is primarily used in areas of maximum risk, such as BoP zones; here it is fitted with chains and hooks made of special-purpose spark-proof metal, supplied by JDN for custom designs.

Another advantage is that the weight of JDN air hoists is relatively low in relation to their load- bearing capacities - that makes them much easier to transport.

Finally, it should also be mentioned that the lifting and lowering speed can be regulated on hoists with cable control. This is an essential feature in cases where highly accurate position control is required.

If JDN air hoists did not already exist - they would have to be invented for off-shore technology.
