Team tec Launches

Next-Generation

Incinerators

Teamtec AS has intro- duced PLC controls on its new-generation shipboard incinerators, reportedly allowing for improved per- formance and fuel economy, as well as lower emissions.

Teamtec incinerators are designed for destruction of a variety of shipboard wastes, including sludge oil, plastics and general garbage and trash. The incinerators are type- approved and certified in compliance with IMO

MEPC.59 (33), as well as with U.S. Coast Guard requirements and U.S.

Federal regulations.

Teamtec incinerators are available as containerized or skid-mounted units.

In addition, Teamtec has developed the A-60 sides-U cuttle in response to the recent amendment to

SOLAS Annex 7, deeming mandatory the installation of A-60-certified windows and sidescuttles in the superstructure of all tankers keel-laid after July 1, 1998.

Entec/Retrofit

Introduces Bilge Water

System

U Entec/Retrofit Systems has unveiled the SLOP-eVAP bilge water elimina- tion/reduction system. The

W new system is engineered ™ to evaporate the water por- tion of bilge slop, which is ^ then boiled and turned into h harmless vapor before being vented through a

HE blower-assisted stack into ~ the atmosphere. ^f Underfloor electric heat- ^ ing of the SLOP-eVAP ! reportedly allows for up to 98 percent reduction in bilge water.

MSI To Conduct Waterway

Improvement Study

River Towboat Simulation

Expect To Help Improve Designs

And Cut Costs

MarineSafety International (MSI) has been awarded a contract by the

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

Galveston, Texas, district to con- duct a simulator study of two areas of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW). The purpose of the simu- lator analysis is to assist the Corps'

Waterways Experiment Station (WES) in fine-tuning and evaluat- ing new channel designs which are intended to alleviate navigational difficulties at Freeport Wiggles, a section of the GIWW, as well as in the High Island Bridge area, also a section of the GIWW.

MSI will prepare visual, radar, depth, bank and current computer models of the two areas as they presently exist and as they will be with the new channel designs.

Hydrodynamic response models of various configurations of push tows will also be prepared. Simulation tests will be conducted at MSI's

Newport, R.I., facility which houses four interactive visual simulators.

Two of the simulators are set up as river towboat wheelhouses, each featuring control consoles, two sets of steering and flanking rudder con- trols, twin throttles, river radars,

VHF radios and other instrumenta- tion and gauges found on a river towboat.

These simulators have been refined over the past three years while being used to train SeaRiver

Maritime's Gulf and Inland

Division, as well as other tug-barge operators.

MSI will work with the WES to verify and, if appropriate, help improve channel designs. Using six experienced river pilots, approxi- mately two weeks of real time sim- ulator runs will be conducted at the

Newport facility
