Hellespont Steamship

Commits To NRC

The National Response Corpora- tion (NRC) announced that the

Hellespont Steamship Corporation, based in Piraeus, Greece, had agreed in principle to identify NRC for marine spill response coverage in the Gulf of Mexico and the East

Coast of the U.S.

Hellespont, represented in Lon- don by Papachristidis, Ltd., oper- ates a fleet of 18 tankers calling primarily at U.S. Gulf ports. It is the first foreign tanker group to commit to the NRC system. "NRC has been very responsive to the special needs and demands of foreign vessel owners and has con- tinually provided practical guidance in coming to terms with the Oil

Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90)," said Captain Malcolm MacKenzie, safety director for Hellespont. "By committing to the NRC net- work, Hellespont has placed a strong vote of confidence in our general strategy and overall capabilities," said Mark Miller, president of

NRC.

Sperry Integrated Bridge

Used On Destriero

A Sperry Marine Integrated

Bridge System was onboard the 67- meter m/y "Destriero" when it re- cently won the "Blue Riband" for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic

Ocean.

In August, the Destriero crossed the Atlantic in a record 58 hours, 34 minutes, 50 seconds, at an average speed of 53.09 knots, without refueling.

The Integrated Bridge System (IBS) features an advanced Sperry

Marine Voyage Management Sys- tem for navigation and command/ control, and dual RASCAR radar/

ARPAs for traffic surveillance and navigation. Pre-voyage planning and updates were achieved on a

Navigation Workstation located be- hind the front console.

In addition, dual Sperry Marine

MK-37E Gyrocompass systems pro- vided reference information for the

IBS, and ship to shore communica- tion and navigation data transmis- sion was accomplished using dual

Sperry MCS2B Satellite Communi- cation Systems.
