Saab TankRadar Measures With Microwave Radar

Saab's TankRadar system measures level, temperature and inert gas pressure in cargo tanks, and the level in ballast and bunker tanks. The system will also compute volume and weight, and can measure draft, list, pressure as well as other parameters.

Information is presented in analog or digital displays, in the form of mimic diagrams on a color VDU.

The Saab TankRadar uses a microwave radar for level gauging. The method, developed by Saab and first introduced more than a decade ago, is installed on hundreds of tankers worldwide. Saab touts the system's accuracy and low maintenance as advantages. The system works on all types of liquids, and is reportedly unaffected by the chemical composition, temperature or density of the cargo.

Ulstein Wins Contract From

Hitachi Zosen For FPSO

Hitachi Zosen placed an order for azimuth thrusters with Ulstein

Propeller of Norway, for delivery to its newbuilding K. No. 1070, which is reportedly the largest

FPSO ever ordered. The contract is for five Ulstein azimuth thrusters, which are worth approx- imately $4 million. The thruster design is according to DNV's requirement for dynamic position- ing, in addition to the NMD and

NPD requirements for offshore vessels. Each Ulstein thruster, type TCNP 120/M-310, transmits 2,800 kW and produces more than 50 tons of nominal thrust. The thrusters are designed for under- water installation and demount- ing, enabling service and mainte- nance without drydocking the

FPSO. The FPSO is a Tentech-900 design, with a storage capacity of 148,000 cbm. Statoil will use the

FPSO on the Asgard oilfield devel- opment project off of Norway.
