Litton Wins Prestigious

IBS Contracts

Litton Marine Systems received an order for four integrated bridge systems from Samsung Heavy Industries late in 1997, to be installed on four new ABS- classed VLCCs for Chevron Shipping Co.

Each ship is scheduled to be fitted with a Sperry Vision 2100 integrated bridge system, which will include a Sperry VMS

VT voyage management system (electron- ic chart display and voyage data recorder); Decca BridgeMaster VT radars; and Sperry gyros, autopilots, steering controls and speed logs. The communica- tions equipment will include a Sperry

GMDSS station. The ink wasn't even dry on this prestigious order when Sperry was selected to provide the integrated bridge system for the new Eagle-class cruise ships for Royal Caribbean. The three 130,000-ton ships, under construc- tion at Kvaerner's Turku yard, will each receive a totally redundant package con- sisting of two independent Vision 2100 integrated bridge systems. Keeping with its hallmark of investment in technical innovation, Litton debuted the

Innovation Bridge Series for the first time last year. The new ergonomic multi-func- tion bridge workstation concept takes advantage of the latest advances in flat- panel display technology, using high-reso- lution flat-panel color display screens which are only eight cm deep. "With the combination of advanced flat-panel technology and multi-function displays, we are able to reduce the num- ber of separate consoles and workstations required for the current generation of integrated bridge systems," said Nolasco

DaCunha, vice president, Sales and

Customer Support.

Kelvin Hughes Brings Advanced

ECDIS To Market

Kelvin Hughes is offering an enhanced

ECDIS to provide mariners with opti- mum safety and function in one central control unit. These functions include navigation, route editing and selection and docking modes, as well as interface selection with other systems. In chart mode, this new system allows for full access to electronic charting facilities.

The latest ECDIS display is a multi- fueled system designed to accept both official electronic navigation chart and raster chart information, which comply with IMO standards and are produced by the international hydrographic offices.

The new ECDIS will be available in both

Nucleus 5000 and Nucleus 6000 formats, and is designed for inclusion in the Kelvin

Hughes range of integrated bridge sys- tems.
