CANADIAN MARITIME

POLLUTION IS PERSONAL

Airchime's model KMJ/JM series, cast in lightweight marine grade alu- minum allowing for exceptional corro- sion resistance and dubbed as its most innovative product to date, features a self-draining design, along with low psi requirements resulting in an energy effi- cient device. Suitable for small work- boat and commercial vessels measuring under 246 ft. (75 m), in addition to mod- els KM, ENC and SCKM appropriate for vessels over 75 m. The whistles are designed for marine applications as well as meeting or exceeding all performance standards as required for IMO Coast

Guard certification.

Responsible for the building of marine autopilots and related accessories,

ComNav has recently introduced a new line of drive units suitable for non- hydraulic steering systems and include: the Rotary Drive Unit is a 12-volt chain drive motor suitable for small boat applications and three Cable Drive

Units created to replace the existing

Morse titled and straight shaft helm sta- tion, and the Teleflex Performance and

Standard Tilt helm stations. ComNav's pilots may be found in fishing vessels, tugs, tankers and freighters measuring up to 984 ft. (300 m). (Continued on page 74)

Institute Gears Up For

Mari-Tech '99

Comprised of mostly design, manufac- turing and supervisory engineers, the

Canadian Institute of Marine Engineer- company's location in North Vancouver for towage to Omega Seafarms in Port

Hardy, the cage allows for salmon farms to be located in exposed areas off the coast. "Marine construction contracts related to B.C.'s aquaculture sector is a growth industry waiting to happen," said Van- couver Shipyards director, David Reid. "When you combine over 30 years of steel fabrication experience, leading- edge catamaran design, 600,000 pounds of steel and 100 skilled trades people, you have a recipe for a new industry and new jobs for B.C. Workers."

Upon completion, the contract as requested per Norwegian design firm

PROCEAN, is estimated to be worth $10 million.

Internet: http://www.hermont.com ing will hold its annual Mari-Tech Con- ference from June 8-10.

Beginning as a technical conference more than 20 years ago, Mari-Tech now offers as many as 60 booths displaying the products and services of ship- builders, supply industries and support industries. Naval architects, certifica- tion, survey organizations and govern- ment departments are represented as well.

Unbeknownst to many, Canadian marine and shipbuilding activities are alive and kicking — especially in terms of offshore energy and the marine engi- neering assistance it requires. Mari-

Tech builds upon this by holding vari- ous technical and social events, includ- ing an opening reception on the confer- ence's inaugural evening. The purpose — so that maritime industry members can network and gain knowledge from industry veterans.
