SKANTI AS

SKANTI AS has introduced the

Inmarsat M Scansat-M, consisting of an antenna unit, an electronic transceiver unit and a user-friend- ly, mobile, radio-like handset. The rotary joint allows the antenna to turn freely without interruptions from cable-unwrap.

The three-axis principle used in antenna construction reportedly secures a reliable and constant tracking of the satellite under all conditions, independent of vessel rolling and pitching of the vessel.

Scansat-M uses two independent receivers; one takes care of the actual communications, the other is used exclusively to keep track of the satellite.

ASSOCIATES

NavCad from HydroComp. Inc.

NavCad offers an integrat- ed platform to predict resistance and power, and to determine optimum propeller parameters.

With NavCad each aspect of a ship's performance can be evaluated for virtu- ally every type of displace- ment hull, semi-displace- ment and planing craft, river barge train, catama- ran and auxiliary-powered sailboat.

General

Hydrostatics (GHS) from Creative Systems, Inc.

Widely recognized as the most advanced and pro- ductive trim/stability/ strength software.

Specialized versions are available for ship opera- tors, for salvage engineers and for small craft design- ers. Includes efficient modeling for all types of complex vessels, and the ability to analyze them both afloat and aground.

ShipCAM &

NC-Pyros from Albacore Research Ltd

ShipCAM4: Fairing, loft- ing, surface/surface inter- section, filleting between two surfaces and shell expansion for developable and compound curvature surfaces for ship construc- tion and repair.

NC-Pyros is a NC-code generator for burning fea- turing automatic path con- nection, leads and interfer- ence check.

Maestro from Proteus Engineering

MAESTRO is a structural design tool which com- bines finite element analy- sis, failure mode evaluation and multiobjective struc- tural optimization. Rapid modeling of structure and of realistic ship loads enable full ship structural analysis to be an integral aspect of the design process for ships, advanced and high perfor- mance vehicles, offshore structures and submarines.

Watercom Appointed Dealer

For KVH

KVH Industries, Inc. has appointed Watercom as a dealer for its new TracVision stabilized antenna system. TracVision is an actively stabilized antenna system which keeps a 24-in. diameter car- bon fiber satellite antenna precise- ly pointed at new high-powered satellites. As the boat turns, pitch- es and rolls, TracVision moves the satellite antenna in exactly the opposite direction, maintaining the tracking accuracy needed to assure uninterrupted satellite television reception on a boat.
