Nupas-Cadmatic — Helping

Shipyards Find Solutions

Nupas-Cadmatic is a CAD/CAM shipbuildng solution for forward- thinking shipyards. This software from Cadmatic is designed for hull, machinery, outfitting and interior design and engineering. The sys- tem controls engineering data while following shipyard specifica- tions and can be used directly in production.

Foran: Innovation Through

The Years

Sener's Foran CAD/CAE/CAM system has been in development for more than three decades. The system is composed of different packages using a single data base to enable a 3-D topological product model to be defined, as well as to provide information on shipyard activities such as: hull form defni- nition; naval architecture; hull structure; machinery; outfitting;

HVAC; electricity; accommoda- tions; materials management; and work preparation. Foran is report- edly suitable for all shipyards and ship types.

ARL Updates CAD-Link

Albacore Research Ltd. (ARL) has added new features to its CAD-

Link98 software, which allows shipbuilders to create 3-D struc- tural product models using

AutoCAD Release 14. CAD-Link addresses many time consuming procedures in part production.

Interference checking of parts allows easy identification and changing of intersecting parts.

The software allows users to exam- ine models using real-time anima- tion.

Marinette Marine Delivers 4th Tender To USCG

United States Coast Guard (USCG) Cutter Elm (WLB-204) was scheduled to be delivered to the USCG on June 26 in a ceremo- ny held at the Marinette Marine shipyard. The cutter was chris- tened on January 24, 1998.

Elm's homeport will be in

Atlantic Beach, N.C., and is under the command of LCDR Donald

Triner. The cutter will sail with a crew consisting of five officers and 34 enlisted personnel. 66

Kvaerner Initiates

Investigation Of New Uses

For Aluminum

Kvaerner, together with Hydro

Aluminum and Det Norske

Veritas, has initiated a research program on improving the utiliza- tion of aluminum for shipbuilding.

The $10 million program will be completed by the end of 1999, and focuses on new building materials and improved hull designs.

New Equipment Regs Slated

For RoRo Ferries

European Union transport minis- ters have agreed to a program which will require RoRo ferries to carry "black box" voyage data recorders.

Vessels will also be required to undergo safety checks before they start service, with regular checks thereafter. The directive will cover ferries of all flags on international and domestic services within

Europe.
