machinery space was created by using a store room on the 60-ft. flat, and fabri- cation of a tunnel through the number one and two stability tanks which creat- ed a passageway into the main engine room. In the new machinery room three, Ingersoll Rand SSR 60 rotary screw air compressors with dryers and air filters were installed, the existing air receiver was relocated to this space and the installation of one air liquid Nitro- gen generation unit was accomplished.

An Intellisys control system was installed, allowing the whole air system to be operated with minimal crew involvement. In addition, the system can be operated remotely from the engine control room.

New Steering Gear

To comply with current SOLAS requirements, the existing two ram

Lidgerwood steering gear was replaced with a Mitsubishi four-ram electro hydraulic unit. The crosshead was removed from the rudderstock and machined to accommodate the new unit.

The existing system was removed with all its components and foundation. The removal of the stern anchor winch and hawse pipe provided the necessary access for rigging the units in and out.

The electrical and control hook-ups were made in conjunction with the inte- grated bridge upgrade, allowing for new feedback units for automatic pilots, new emergency steering set up, new angle indicators and feedback back units.

Mooring Arrangement Modification

Oil Companies International Marine

Forum (OCIMF) required a major upgrade of the vessel's entire mooring system. Ten lakeshore winches, the for- ward and aft first line ashore assemblies, the aft anchor windlass and hawse pipe

HHHBBa SWITCH mmm

Smart Electronic

Level Switch with

No Moving Parts

The Sea Switch Two was designed and patented for all tank applications. The Sea Switch Two offers a reliable solution for liquid level detection and control for cargo, ballast, and storage tanks, without any moving parts.

The Sea Switch Two uses a fully static system that is based on the propagation of an acoustic wave into a metallic rod. A piezo-electric sensing element produces a wave along the rod. As the liquid reaches the sensing element the oscilla- tion stops and the alarm is activated.

The Sea Switch Two sensor detects high, high- high, or low level in any liquid with an alarm output given by a dry contact or current loop change 6-18 mA. • Easy installation • Self-test built-in • Fully static system - no moving parts s
