Saab Marine Electronics

Grows With Control Systems

Installing its first Saab

TankRadar system in 1976, Saab has since become a leading supplier of level gauging systems for tank- ers, reportedly garnering a 40 per- cent share of the global market since 1980.

More than 800 tankers have been equipped with Saab TankRadar sys- tems, and approximately 98 percent of Saab Marine's sales are exported to some 50 countries around the world.

Deliveries of Saab Cargo Control

Systems increased during 1992.

First installed on an asphalt barge in 1988, since then 35 ships have been equipped with the Saab Cargo

Control System.

In October 1992, Saab Marine

Electronics received a third-party certification for development, design and manufacture of radar-based level gauging systems in accordance

Vecom Offers Veclean Line

To Help Comply With IMO

OPA 90 Regulations

Farouk Nefzi,

Vecom product manager

Designed as an alternative to tr* ditional cleaning products, th

Veclean range of products is toute as able to perform all of the cleanin functions in the engine room, in eluding carbon removal, electrica parts cleaning, tank cleaning, gen eral cleaning, oil spill dispersing an< oil spill clean-up equipment.

The Veclean products enable th< residual water to be pumped over board via the oily water separator and reportedly will not tie-up slob oi sludge tanks with a lot of emulsion.

Using dispersants at sea has be- come a problem on the political and environmental fronts.

Therefore, Vecom has introduced a new dispersant to the shipping industry.

Approved by the Ministry of Agri- culture, Fisheries and Food U.K. as a type II/III product and tested by

Warren Spring Laboratory, the prod- uct has an extremely low marine toxicity, is totally biodegradable and contains no petrochemical solvents.

Finally, to assist shipping com- panies to comply with OPA 90 and

IMO regulations Vecom has devel- oped an oil spill kit.

Included in the kit are absorbents, pressure hand sprayer, scupper pip plugs, deck mats, booms filled wit organic material, oil seals, wipes etc.
