The Litton Ingalls American cruise shipbuilding project has been a natural draw for many European suppliers, par- ticularly Norwegian companies who have a long history of supplying the vibrant Scandinavian passenger vessel market. Valmarine's Damatic XDI was selected to be aboard the new U.S.-build ships. The ship automation system will include coverage of the two most critical onboard systems, the machinery plant and the air conditioning plant. In total, there will be approximately 8,500 input and output signals, and will cover most major areas including control, monitor- ing and alarm systems; power manage- ment systems; heating, ventilation and

AC systems; and serial line connections, including the Cegelec/Kamewa Mer- maid POD's Control System. Key func- tionality includes one operator complete

New from Autronica is a fire safety manage- ment system that comprises a new fire detec- tion system combined with a color graphic indi- cation and control system. — these companies have proven their mettle on the competitive and increas- ingly cost competitive international mar- ket. An impressive 60+ percent of Nor- wegian ship's gear is exported world- wide, and major manufacturers through the assistance of the Norwegian Trade

Council are continually searching for new means to produce products closer to the consumption area, whether it is through international expansion, part- nership or licensing agreement. High- lighted in the ensuing pages are just a few of the country's more notable recent successes.

Unitor, a company, which is a truly international service group with opera- tions in 80 countries, centers its product and service offerings around improving ship management efficiency and reduc- ing operational costs, while promoting safety at sea. Unitor's latest offering — a new soot remover liquid and dosing unit designed to improve diesel engine and turbocharger efficiency — is sure to be a hit given the high profile of propul- sion related issues. Offered from the

Unitor Chemical Service, the new prod- ucts from part of the company's rede- fined marine chemical service concept.

Increased soot deposits can cause a range of problems, including exhaust system soot fires. Unitor's new Soot

Remover Liquid has been engineered to prevent soot build-up at low exhaust gas temperature (200 degrees C/392 degrees

F). The catalysts in the new system form a vapor upon heating, penetrating the deposits and catalyzing the carbon.

The modified soot then ignites and is safely burned in the exhaust system. The liquid can be manually or automatically dosed into a vessel's exhaust trunking, upstream of the boiler. The automatic dosing unit — a valuable feature in the attempt to save valuable crew time —

HEAVY-DUTY SIGNALS by

Model S-120 Piston Horn

Chosen for use on aircraft carriers as well as commercial vessels over 200 meters in length, the S-120 utilizes an oscillating piston driven by 7-1/2 horse- power 3 phase 220/440 volt electric motor producing 143 dB and a funda- mental frequency of 94 Hz in 1/3 octave band at one meter.

Kahlenberg Signals were developed to withstand the pun- ishing use of commercial and military service. Their dura- bility has been demonstrated over decades of service on ocean-going vessels ranging from naval warships to com- mercial vessels. Military specifications have required extensive testing for many of these whistles and the accessories supplied with them, which have proven the exceptional qualities of Kahlenberg design and manufac- turing.
