Chevron Replaces Copper

Ion Systems With

Electrocatalytic's ChloropacR

Electrocatalytic, Inc. was chosen to replace cop- per ion systems with its Chloropac electrochlor- ination systems on eight Chevron tankers. Pic- tured is the Chevron Nagasaki.

Electrocatalytic, Inc. (Elcat) has been contracted to supply eight

Chloropac8 electrochlorination sys- tems to Chevron shipping company of San Francisco for their VLCCs.

Chloropac protects seawater con- densers, heat exchangers, sea chests and piping against biological foul- ing and marine growth that causes excessive fuel consumption and cor- rosion.

Fully automated and self-clean- ing, Chloropac converts seawater sodium chloride into sodium hy- pochlorite, the active ingredient for fouling control. The Chevron in- stallations commenced in January and are expected to be completed in

August.

Headquartered in Warren, N.J.,

Elcat is a leader in water treatment and corrosion control installations worldwide, backed by an engineer- ing and technical service network.

Textron Chosen For Japan's

Amphibious Craft Program

Textron Marine & Land Systems (TM&LS), has been chosen for a new amphibious craft program of the Japanese Defense Agency (JDA).

The program commences with the award of a $50 million contract.

This first contract includes one

Landing Craft Air-Cushion (LCAC), engineering documentation, train- ing manuals, reserve subsystems, spare parts and support test equip- ment. Additional craft are expected over a period of several years. Ini- tial delivery will take place in Octo- ber, 1997.

The design of the large air cush- ion vehicles is based on the U.S.

Navy's highly successful LCAC ve- hicle for which TM&LS is the prime contractor. The hovercraft will be built at the TM&LS manufacturing facility, located in Eastern New Or- leans.

Japan has committed to expand- ing its maritime capabilities with the acquisition of hovercraft which will operate from the well decks of the 8,900-ton Landing Ship Trans- port (LST) class ships. The LSTs will be built in Japan. As part of

Japan's increasing role in United

Nations peacekeeping operations, the LST/LCAC combination will be utilized specifically for U.N. Peace- keeping Operations (PKO).
