River Bridge

Bisso Marine, working with Jordan Pile Driving Inc., completed the removal of five 400-ton sections of the Tensaw River Bridge on the Mobile

You can work and go further between refueling stops when you reduce your fresh water tankage with a MAXIM® evaporator.

MAXIM evaporators are available in a range of sizes that provide an ample, continuous supply of pure, good tasting, soft water for drinking, cooking, washing or cleaning gear.

And because you convert large water storage space to fuel, you increase work range, and run faster with a lower ship weight.

Ask your shipyard about MAXIM® evaporators, or write or call the

MAXIM Evaporator Division of

Beaird Industries.

FORAN CAD/CAM

System

Senermar, the Spanish firm of naval architects, has won the first license in the U.S. for its

CAD/CAM system for ship design and production, FORAN

Version 3.0. The company has licensed the system to Alabama

Shipyard, a subsidiary of

Atlantic Marine Holdings Co. of

Jacksonville, Fla. The award is an outgrowth of Alabama

Shipyard's efforts to become a world-competitive commercial shipyard, an aspiration that seems attainable in light of the agreement it has reached with

Dannebrog Reederi for three chemical carriers. That agree- ment is subject to Title XI financ- ing, which is expected to be approved in the near future. The license also comes on the heels of

Senermar's recent FORAN license to the French shipyard

Ateliers et Chantiers du Havre.

Alabama Shipyard reportedly decided on the FORAN system after an extensive evaluation of all main CAD/CAM systems cur- rently available, including exhaustive benchmarks in differ- ent countries. Training in the use of all FORAN's features has been carried out, and the pro- gram is expected to be put to active use in the very near future.

This most recent version of

FORAN was released in the beginning of 1993 and has now been implemented in 32 ship- yards worldwide. Counting all versions of FORAN, the system has been implemented in 120 yards across 21 countries.

Senermar Develops New Module For

CAD/CAM System

Senermar has developed a new module for Foran V30, its

CAD/CAM/CAE system for ship design and production. The new module, devoted to modeling and positioning of general outfitting structures, is part of Senermar's continuous development of the

Foran CAD/CAM system, which, in all of its versions, is now licensed for use in 120 shipyards in 21 countries. The objective of the new module is the modeling and positioning of general outfit- ting structures like foundations and supports. The design is car- ried out in a fully interactive 3-D graphic environment, where it can be used as reference to any item available in the zone, such as structural elements, equip- ment or piping.
