Kelvin Hughes Debuts

Electronic Charts

Kelvin Hughes Ltd. introduced its new Chart Display Unit (CDU) at the recent Europort Exhibition in

Amsterdam. The new electronic

CDU is fully compatible with the

U.K. Hydrographic Office Raster

Chart Service (ARCS), which was also launched at the show. The

CDU is capable of being used on its own or interfaced directly with the

Kelvin Hughes Navigation Display (NINAS). The CDU offers interac- tive route planning and monitoring along with instantaneous assess- ment of tracked targets that may be overlaid on the chart from the radar system. A window on the right of the displayed chart provides ship's position, course and speed, the range and bearing of the cursor and chart information comprising name, num- ber and projection. For free infor- mation on the new electronic charts from Kelvin Hughes,

Seaward Offers Seapile

Composite Marine Piling

The Seapile™ composite marine piling is made by a process known as continuous extrusion. In this pro- cess, an extruder melts recycled plas- tic, mixes it with specific additives then forms it around the reinforcing elements of the pile. Duralin™ is the trade name given to the plastic matrix designed by Seaward's chem- ists and engineers to make the

Seapile composite marine piling tough, and to help preserve and enhance the product's longevity and strength. Seapile pilings are avail- able with either fiberglass or steel reinforcement: the model with fi- berglass was designed to make avail- able a lighter pile with non-corro- sive reinforcing; the model with steel

January, 1994 reinforcement was designed to have a higher axial load bearing capacity than the fiberglass pile.

Seaward has also developed simple clamps for attaching a piling to a dock, to eliminate the need for random bolt hole drilling.

Seaward uses only 100 percent recycled plastic, and black is the standard color of the Seapile. The

Seapile can be made in other colors on a custom basis, with a slightly higher price for special orders due to the cost of the colorants.

For full technical specifications on the Seapile composite marine pil- ing,
