ELECTRONICS

UPDATE

Krupp Atlas Elektronik Navaids

Advanced navaids from Krupp

Atlas Electronik include the FCC type-approved 7600-8600 Series of 16-inch Rasterscan radars, more than 800 of which have been sold worldwide since their introduction four years ago. Also these radars hold Japanese type-approval certifi- cates and they are characterized by a continuous television-type mode of presentation viewable under all conditions. Among latest U.S. cus- tomers to place orders are Pacific

Gulf Lines of New Orleans, who are retrofitting interswitched X-band 7600 RM and ARPA units to two bulk carriers.

The 7600-8600 Series is comple- mented by the Atlas 5600 12-inch

Rasterscan system and also by the recently introduced Atlas 5400, a relative motion system of similar size with a conventional radial dis- play designed to meet IMO and oth- er specifications.

Other products available include the Nacos 20 integrated bridge con- trol system designed primarily for single manning and precision navi- gation at reduced cost. Typically comprising two rasterscan radars, doppler log, echo sounder and an adaptive radar-controlled autopilot, the central control console addition- al incorporates a full-color naviga- tion information display unit to- gether with interfaces for other sen- sors and bridge equipment.

Originally developed for the West

German "Ship of the Future" proj- ect, some 40 Nacos configurations have already been sold worldwide.

SEA CUSHIONS." The tough foam filled fenders with the soft touch.

Whether you're a vessel owner or a terminal operator, you need a fender that's not only tough, but soft enough to cushion and absorb the high energy impact of ship to ship transferor ship to quay berthing without hull damage , or overloading of dock structures. That fender is appropriately ~ T . . ? named SEA CUSHION. And it's tough because we make it that ^Bmimm way. It's unsinkable even if punctured. It's abrasion- resistant and extremely durable, be- cause of its rugged elastomer skin.

So if you have the need for some tough protection with a soft touch,

SEA CUSHION is it. Sizes available for fishing vessels to ULCC's.
