Marine Electronics Yearbook with Federal regulations for Auto- matic Dependent Surveillance equipment required on tankers op- erating in Prince William Sound,

Alaska. The unit features an all-in- view, 12-channel GPS navigator, augmented with differential correc- tions automatically accepted as de- termined by pre-stored NDB alma- nacs. When a vessel enters desig- nated waters, the ADS 580V auto- matically reports its position within 32 feet to a shore-based vessel traf- fic control center on a VHF-FM DSC transceiver, along with the time, figure of merit (HDOP), ship's speed and course over ground and its

Lloyd's Registration number.

For marine operators of all types,

Cellnet Corporation provides

CallAboard®, a solution for offshore environments where public tele- phone service is desired.

CallAboard allows callers to dial anywhere in the world and bill the entire call to a major credit or phone company calling card, as well as make collect calls. The vessel or platform operators never receive any bills for user calls. In addition,

Cellnet pays commissions based on percentages of the monthly gross cellular airtime revenue that is gen- erated. The service is provided free of charge to qualified marine opera- tors and is available across the U.S. and in certain foreign markets.

A C-Map-based system may also be connected to a compatible printer to print a hard copy of each course. All

C-Map-based systems have the ca- pability to convert meters to feet or fathoms with a push of a button.

ComNav Marine has manufac- tured commercial marine autopi- lots since 1982. ComNav introduced the ComNav 2200 Autopilot in re- sponse to customer demand. The 2200's actual heading and com- manded course are continuously shown on a traditional compass rose which is also used for dialing in the course changes. Knobs are used for function control, rudder and turn rate. Automatic Yaw Control con- stantly senses and adjusts for sea state conditions. A DC motor con- troller circuit interfaces the 2200 to most available steering drive sys- tems.
