The R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer, from the Larose, La., shipyard of

North American Shipbuilding, is the nation's first commercial icebreaking research ship.

Able to break ice three feet thick at a speed of three knots, the 308- foot vessel is currently operated un- der the guidance of Antarctic Sup- port Associates, a joint venture of

Holmes & Narver, Services, Inc., of

Orange, Calif., and EG&G Inc., of

Wellesley, Mass., for the National

Science Foundation U.S. Antarctic

Program.

The vessel, developed for the ex- press purpose of supporting research in Antarctica, is owned by Edison

Chouest Offshore.

Ice classed to new ABS rules, ABS

A-2, the Palmer can navigate rough open seas, rolling less than eight degrees in 16-foot waves, and has accommodations for 37 scientists and 26 crew.

The 6,500-long ton ship's sophis- ticated electronic equipment in- cludes Robertson's Disc Navigation

System, an Electronic Charts Dis- play and Information System (ECDIS).

It is a real-time geographic infor- mation system which combines both spatial and text data to continu- ously determine the vessel's posi- tion in relation to land, charted or observed objects, glaciers, or ice packs, and many other unseen haz- ards.

The Palmer's ECDIS will also out- put position data to the Robertson

Dynamic Positioning System which will allow the Palmer to negotiate into and out of, or through areas that require special low-speed ma- neuvering.

ECPINS

Large detailed view of chart section with vessel track, spot soundings, annotations, and nav data a new concept to safe navigation

Based on more than 10 years of research and tested in over 35 shipboard installations, Offshore Systems

Ltd. (OSL) introduces ECPINS (Electronic Chart/Pre- cise Integrated Navigation System) - a new aid to safe navigation and grounding avoidance.

ECPINS, which will comply with all IMO performance standards for ECDIS, is the most advanced, completely integrated, ship's navigation system available to the shipping industry today.

ECPINS intelligently combines information from a variety of navigation sen- sors on a high-definition electronic chart display. By providing real-time, "own ship" position data and re- lationship to potential haz- ards, ECPINS reduces the workload on the mariner and assists in safe, precise navigation, particularly in confined waters. Coupled with radar image overlay and ARPA target presen- tation, ECPINS helps the navigator in collision avoidance and sets new standards for aids to safe, efficient navigation.

ECPINS integrates and continuously checks data from GPS, DGPS, gyro, log, depth sounder, radar, and other navigation sensors to present actual "own ship" position on an authorized nautical vector chart. The information can be viewed in multiple scales on several non-overlapping windows with modes North-Up, Course-

Up, Relative Motion and True Motion. For planning or previewing, two different charts also can be shown.

Both Route Planning and Route Monitoring can easily be carried out. Additional ECPINS display/control sta- tions can be connected to the master workstation on the bridge. Efficient Way-Point Steering is performed in conjunction with the ship's autopilot. ECPINS generates alarms in case of navigation sensor input loss, position error, cross track error, and if the projected ship's heading steers into dangerous waters.
