Chartmate has a front-loading cartridge reader with a weather- proof cover that will accept any stan- dard C-Map mini-cartridge. The

C-Map recently moved its U.S. operations from Sagamore, Mass. to new, larger offices in Mashpee,

Mass.

According to Vice President and

General Manager Ken Cirillo, "In 1990, when we first moved into our

Sagamore offices... electronic chart- ing was still in its infancy. Over the past two years, however, we've had to increase our personnel by 15 em- ployees to meet the growing de- mands for electronic charts. Our new office in Mashpee ... provides an increase of over 5,000-sq.-ft. over our previous office space."

C-Map's new address is 133

Falmouth Road, Building II,

Mashpee, Mass. 02649, tel: (800) 424-2627, (508) 477-8010; fax: (508) 447-6168.

WESMAR Introduces

Multi Mode TCS600E

Trawl Catch Sonar

Western Marine Electronics (WESMAR) introduced its new Multi

Mode TCS600E Trawl Catch Sonar, a new scanner, horizontal scanning sonar and depth sounder all in one system.

According to WESMAR President

Bruce Blakey, the TCS600E Trawl

Sonar provides complete informa- tion for any underwater fishing op- eration.

It shows an underwater picture of the trawl net and the doors, in- cluding all essential depth and dis- tance measurements necessary to shoot and fish the net. From the horizontal scanning sonar mode fish schools are shown in true size, shape and direction, from ahead, below, above and around the net. A split screen capability shows net profile or scanning sonar and depth sounder information simulta- neously.

Alden Offers AldenSART™

Search & Rescue

Transponder

Alden Electronics, Inc. offers the

AldenSART™, a search and rescue transponder designed to help res- cue forces find a vessel, life raft or personnel in distress, especially in poor visibility.

The AldenSART responds to ra- dar signals on rescue planes or ships by "painting" its location on their radar screens. This painted signal is seen on the rescuer's radar as a series of 12 dashed lines pointing directly to the location of the

AldenSART.

The AldenSART operates in the 9GHz frequency band and will trans- mit its painted response signal when it recognizes any X-Band radar sig- nal.

By February 1995, all vessels more than 300-grt must be equipped with at least one SART.

The AldenSART is Global Mari- time Distress Safety System (GMDSS) approved for worldwide use.

For once in life, •t pays to be - two: faced.

Now you can install a two-part dock facing system that gives twice the benefits of any other.

The complete Dock Fendering System from

BFGoodrich offers the proven, money-saving pro- | tection of LINERITE®and Solidur®— two types of facings to keep you covered in all situations.

Engineered to endure in high-impact areas, L1NERITE is a polymer/rubber composite that absorbs repeated blows

Protecting far longer than wood, tires and other traditional fenderings.

Solidur, a solid UHMWP material, rounds out the BFG system — reducing friction and wear while providing a shield of strength. For pier and canal walls, it's the premier polymer facing.

To hear more about our fendering system, face to face, call 910-251-8000. Or fax 1-800-835-2575. And discover all the good things customers are saying. [^Goodrich
