Cruise Shin nine Annual requirements and nearly 60 percent of those for new-generation cruise liners.

The Series incorporates latest Radarpi- lot Atlas 1000 radars featuring improved clutter suppression, a switchable anten- na revolution for high-speed applica- tions and enhanced monitoring of tar- gets at close range. Other main features include new Multipilot consoles based on PC-compatible hardware for improved interchange of radar and

ECDIS data while other refinements include an option for a remote diagnos- tic unit with which it will be possible to not only access a system's status via the

Internet or Inmarsat-B or C.

NACOS systems additionally form an integral part of proprietary Atlas Ship

Control Centres (SCC's) that combine and automate all main bridge equipment control operations inclusive of naviga- tion, communications, engine control and alarm monitoring. A new SCC development is a purpose-designed ver- sion for small vessels. It features Atlas 12-in. 1000 series radars and a Geamar integrated monitoring and control sys- tem supported by a series of flat-screen displays. The radars form part of a

NACOS integrated navigation command sub-assembly based on a radar-con- trolled trackpilot with other key con- stituents including a Chartpilot ECDIS module for processing and editing of electronic chart data.

To date, nearly 40 of the new Series 4 configurations have already been sold worldwide, with total sales of all

NACOS systems now exceeding 650 systems. Latest commissionings include 65-4 systems for all four

Cruise liners being built by Meyer

Werft for delivery to Star Cruises and

Norwegian Cruise Line between 2001- 2004. Similar configurations have also been chosen for P&O Princess Cruises' two 113,000-gt liners under construc- tion at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in

Japan while another is currently being installed as part of an Atlas Ship Control

Center (SCC) on Irish Ferries' Finnish- built 50,000 gt RoPax Ulysses due to enter service this year; scheduled for service routes between Holyhead and

Dublin, the vessel is the world's largest of its type.
