Nautronix Delivers DP

System To SEDCO Fleet

Following on from the successful operations of Nautronix dynamic positioning and acoustic position- ing equipment on-board the Sedco 707 semi-submersible, Nautronix has been awarded another contract by Sedco Forex to supply dynamic and acoustic positioning equip- ment to the Sedco 709.

The Sedco 709 semi-submersible will soon be upgraded for deepwa- ter drilling operations off the coast of West Africa. The existing DP system will be replaced with a

BIMCO To Offer Innovative

ISM Course

The ISM Experience: A BIMCO

Workshop is the title of BIMCO's newest residential course, which will be held in Copenhagen from

Nov. 16-18.

The first of its kind, this

BIMCO course will address issues of concern to those responsible for ISM compliance across the industry following the passing of the first International

Safety Management (ISM) Code deadline in July. In particular, participants will share their compliance experiences with others while at the same time learning exactly which steps they need to take to ensure that their compliance status remains current. In addition, the ISM

Code regulations to be met by 2002 will be discussed in detail, enabling attendees to approach the deadline with the knowledge necessary to help their company meet the requirements well in advance. An intensive workshop session is the centerpiece of the course, providing participants with the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with top industry experts to solve common prob- lems associated with the ISM

Code, including continued com- pliance and the upcoming dead- line. They will also discuss prac- tical recommendations for mar- itime authorities and investigate methods of improving ISM-relat- ed procedures.
