Europort 2003 Preview

Dredging Days is a two-day conference (November 20-21) intended for profes- sionals from the dredging industry. This year's topics are 'Specialist dredging techniques' and 'Inspiring dredging solu- tions.' More information about the con- ferences and how to register for them can be found at www.europort2003.com. www.europort2003.com

Exhibitors and visitors alike can obtain more information about the forth- coming exhibition at Europort 2003's website www.europort2003.com.

Europort 2003 will be held from

November 18 to 22, 2003. The opening hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the

Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the Thursday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the Saturday.

Company Caldic Techniek B.V.

Booth 06.6006

Product Multi-Line 2 generator control systems. This series consists of a product range that is very easy to assem- ble and fit, and combines all possible functions, such as synchronization, power control, extensive generator safe- guards, read-out and transducer signals.

New possibilities for use as a stand- alone generator unit or exlargement to form a complete Power Management

System with external controls (p.I.e., etc.). Direct drive of diesel engines, e.g. by means of PWM signals and direct bus connectors. Engine control, start/stop functions and safeguards (engine safe- guards are not marine-certified), which provide much scope for automation.

Company Icon Research Ltd.

Booth 04.4062

Product Doctor on-line diesel engine performance and condition mon- itor.

Combines the Doctor technology with state-of-the-art Ethernet data capture.

The Doctor analysis software from the portable range of analyzers provides full analysis capabilities. The Ethernet based network monitors cylinder pressures, scavenge pressure and optionally, fuel pressures.

Company Imtech Marine & Offshore

Booth 01.1031

Product New integrated bridge, advanced design with touchscreen con- trol. Integrated bridge for low-end pur- poses. Maintenance solutions via world- wide network. Exhibiting other Imtech companies offering fully integrated solutions (like Imtech Access

Technology, Imtech Telecom, etc.). E- propulsion technology with water chilled drives.

Company Machine Support B.V.

Booth 01.1168

Product Vibracon SM Low Profile elements are permanent, strong and reusable equipment mounting chocks that are easily and accurately adjusted.

The Low Profile elements are the eco- nomic solution for repair projects or fixed design systems where expensive milled chocks, shims or epoxy resins were inserted. Creates the ideal mount- ing plane for critically aligned machin- ery in those applications where the orig- inal Vibracon SM is too tall.

Company NewThex B.V.

Booth 01.1024

Product NewThex lifting appli- ance. A very complex elevator system special designed for the new Airbus

A380 xx . It includes special hydraulics and electronic controls and sophisticated engineering by using a.o. FEM. The platforms are approx. 220 sq. m. and can lift 220 tons. The platforms will be installed on two ships that are built at the

Shipyard De Hoop in Heusden. The ships will be used in order to transport parts of the new Airbus 380 xx from

Bordeaux over the river Gironde to the factory in Tolouse. Weight; height and narrow space gives that the design of the platform is complex.

Company Tresco Engineering

Booth 01.1050

Product Inland ECDIS pilot GPS chart system for inland waterways ves- sels, with new electronic navigation charts in S-57 format. These digital charts can be used 'course-up' or 'north- up'.

Gesilco: Built to last

In 1993 the first Geislinger Gesilco glass fiber coupling was put into operation on a fast ferry, built in

Spain. The Gesilco was caught up with the same "fate " as any other new invention: its introduction was met with wide-spread skepticism at engine builders, classification soci- eties and operators. However, suc- cess in operation has proven the product effective.

Gesilco is touted by the manufacturer as the lightest coupling on the mar- ket. At the same time it is designed to be extremely loadable, has an out- standing misalignment capability and very low reaction forces. All those characteristics were proven within the last 10 years over and over again, partly under the hardest conditions.

The material used for Gesilco cou- plings is glass and carbon fiber — which is also used in the aero-space industry.

These couplings are used in a number of applications, especially for fast monohulls or catamarans, but also for coastguard- or police-vessels, for yachts or test bench applications.

The power range for which the Gesilco couplings are used at the moment lies between 100 kW and 9,000 kW.

The latest product is the Gesilco disc, a flat membrane coupling for single bearing generator applications, which opens the door to many other fields of application.

Every year several hundreds of

Gesilco couplings are produced at

Geislinger's production plant in Bad

St. Leonhard/Austria and are mainly combined with the well-proven, tor- sionalelastic high damping

Geislinger couplings.
