Intergraph Outfits M/V

Mississippi With ECDIS

The newly launched M/V Missis- sippi carries the U.S. Electronic

Chart Display and Information Sys- tem (ECDIS) Test Bed developed by

Intergraph Federal System Division in Reston, Va.

The version of ECDIS aboard MJ

V Mississippi is being used in river charting and navigation tests being, conducted by the Corps of Engineers'

Lower Mississippi Valley Division (LMVD), Waterways Experiment

Station (WES) at Ft. Belvoir, Va., and the Topographic Engineering

Center (TEC) at Vicksburg, Miss.

The ECDIS system is designed to make river navigation safer, easier and more productive. Data from shipboard sensors are integrated into a single display showing ship movement against a chart-like graphic background of the river.

New Shipboard Separator

Leaves Less Than 5 ppm Oil

In Waste Water

A new separator called

Clearwater, introduced by Merlin

Teknologi of Kristiansand, Norway, claims to purify bilge and ballast water and industrial waste waters to an unprecedented low of less than 5 ppm (.0005%) oil.

The Clearwater reportedly will satisfy the strictest of any pollution restrictions, as the IMO's is that of 15 ppm oil in bilge and ballast dis- charge in coastal waters.

The separator has no filters or coalescing elements, needs no prewarming of the oily water, works unattended, is self-cleaning, has modest maintenance needs and is easy to install, reportedly.

Aanderaa Offers New Wind

Monitoring System

The new Wind Display System from Aanderaa Instruments is de- signed for ship installation. It is reportedly reliable, rugged, water- proof and furnished in hard-anod- ized aluminum. The unit consists of wind sensors, sensor bracket, sen- sor cable and the Wind Display

Panel (WDP 3400).

The analog display of wind speed and direction is performed by two circles of light emitting diodes. This indication is primarily intended for a quick reference and a more accu- rate indication is shown digitally just below the circles by light-emit- ting displays. Display of data at two or more locations is possible by con- necting several panels in series.

Tangent Intl. Offers Vessel

Schedule & Log Software

Tangent International Computer

Consultants has made available a network-ready Vessel Schedule and

Dispatch Log software system, com- 118 plete with multiple support mod- ules.

Developed in the Microsoft Win- dows environment, the software was developed in conjunction with

Morania Oil Tanker Corp. of Stam- ford, Conn. The package reportedly provides cost effective cargo vessel scheduling with customer and cargo log recording, shipping history, bill- ing and demurrage. The system also comes standard with a fully- featured graphic display of activity and movement for greater executive manageability, pending orders, ex- tensive reporting and telecommuni- cations.
