NORWAY AT SNAME: A MARITIME REPORTER SUPPLEMENT programs, which makes the U.S. a valu- able, expanding market.

Further, U.S. owners have started building ships outside the U.S. terri- tory, in countries where the Norwegian suppliers have been present for many years. The owners are the end-users and also the main decision makers for im- portant equipment aboard.

Organized through the Norwegian

Trade Council (NTC), several activities regarding the U.S. market have been the focus for 1995. NTC is the catalyst in the process and the task is to assist the

Norwegian equipment suppliers make a market platform.

The tour of the U.S. shipyards in

March was very important in several respects; to present Norwegian equip- ment and to build relationships with yard personnel. The Norwegian delega- tion had a magnificent time and were met with enthusiasm, interest and hos- pitality from all the yards.

The visits were arranged to allow each supplier to present its company, products and services to the technical staff of each yard. Obviously the U.S. yards have great ambitions in building commercial vessels after building mostly naval vessels for many years. Their resultant requirements for equipment can fully be met by Norwegian suppli- ers.

U.S. yards were major players at Nor-

Shipping '95 in Oslo, a fact which shows the level of ambition at U.S. yards.

To underline its interest in the U.S. market, several Norwegian equipment suppliers will be present at the SNAME show in Washington, D.C. to promote their products and activities. The Nor- wegian Trade Council coordinates a joint stand for the exhibition. It will also host a hospitality suite where people can retreat for a relaxing social or business talk in quiet surroundings.

The SNAME exhibition is impor- tant in order to further develop the relations between all parties.

You are invited to stop by and see the

NTC joint stand at SNAME. We will be there to serve you.

Aanderaa Instruments

Aanderaa Instruments, Bergen, is a manufacturer of oceanographic and meteorological equipment.

Among the company's featured prod- ucts is the Automatic Weather Station 2700, a rugged, self-contained station suited for use in remote places without electricity supply. Data can be recorded on-site or transmitted in real-time. The standard unit is fitted with sensors for wind speed, gust and direction, air tem- perature and pressure, relative humid- ity, sunshine duration, net radiation and rainfall.

The company recently introduced a new visibility sensor. Sensors for mea- suring visibility are often large, costly and consume a lot of power, but the

Mira Visibility Sensor is designed to fulfill the demand for a small, low-power unit .

The new Mira sensor is a compact, low cost unit with low power consump- tion, intended for indicating reduced visibility. At sea, visibility may fre- quently be limited by fog, haze and mist. Large industrial harbors may also experience reduced visibility because of dust and smoke. The sensor is designed to detect all of these factors. In addition, it will indicate reduced visibility caused by snow.

The Mira is easily installed on the sensor arm of the Automatic Weather

Station 2700, for complete information about local weather conditions. Other expansion options include current, wave and water level measurements.
