Onboard Napa Power

Promotes Fuel Economy

Finnish-based marine software developer Onboard-

Napa Oy has added a system for lower- ing the operational costs of ships. The system aids the user in planning voyages so that the destination port is reached on time in a cost-effective way. This idea is modeled on the same technology uti- lized for the Napa system for CAE tasks, and for the Onboard-Napa system used with onboard calculations of ship loading and damage stability. A user- friendly tool for planning routes, sched- ules and optimizing ship operations,

Onboard Napa-Power can also be used for reporting fuel consumption and costs, and compiling statistics on vari- ous voyages. The system can be inter- faced with the other systems already installed on the bridge, thus minimizing the input required from the user.

Dylon Lubricant Develops

Heavy Duty Grease

Dylon Lubricant Technologies has developed heavy duty grease Grade GR- 424. The water-resistant grease formu- lated for industrial equipment is designed specifically for heavy duty ser- vice where high loads and demanding environments are common. GR-424 remedies most heavyweight lubrication problems, and is perfect for use in anti- friction bearings, open gears, universal joints and other harsh environment equipment. The grease is comprised of a heavily loaded chemistry featuring four percent solid film additives, which build a barrier between metal parts for maxi- mum metal-to-metal separation. What could most likely be dubbed as the prod- uct's most unique feature is its advanced polymer and its ability to lock out mois- ture and other contaminants.
