Italian Ferries To Have

Sperry Marine Integrated

Bridge Systems

Finmare, one of the largest ship operators in Italy, has selected the

Sperry Marine VMS Integrated

Bridges for its new fleet of seven "Via Mare" ("Sea Road") ferries. The 492.2-foot vessels are being built in three shipyards in Italy and The

Netherlands.

Each new ship will be equipped with a Sperry Marine VMS-3000

Integrated Bridge, one of the most efficient and safety-aware integrated navigation and control systems available. The VMS-3000 integrates vessel navigation, radar/ARPA, elec- tronic charting and monitoring sys- tems with all necessary command and control functions. The result is more efficient navigation with in- creased safety and reduced fuel con- sumption.

Distributorship Available scantlings were used to provide ad- ditional hull strength and to protect against corrosion. Further corro- sion control is made possible through the use of tar epoxy coatings through- out the double hull.

Access to side tanks and the 9.9- foot double bottom is made possible through the incorporation of special walkways. These walkways will also enable surveyors and ship's super- intendents to inspect the vessel more thoroughly.

Detectors have been installed in ballast spaces to continuously moni- tor the air for the presence of hydro- carbon gases when the tanks are empty. The system also will allow the spaces to be ventilated with fresh air or inert gases.
