All components are designed and built to withstand harsh marine environments while providing dependable operation.

To the challenges inherent in the marine environment, the Series 9500

Marine Intercom System is a specially designed, water and corrosion resistant communication solution. Master station and belt stations feature watertight RFI shielded enclosures for increased relia- bility. Noise-attenuating headsets are equipped with corrosion-resistant stain- less steel hardware, waterproof connec- tors and water-resistant, noise-canceling

M-87 electret microphones to ensure clear transmission.

McMurdo Launches

C1 S-VDR

In line with new regulations approved by the IMO that states cargo ships on international voyages must be fitted with an

S-VDR, McMurdo have launched the C1.

The C1 is an S-VDR

Float Free Data

Capsule that is designed to duplicate and store critical voy- age related information collected by the S-

VDR. The built-in GPS EPIRB provides an aid to quickly locate and salvage the

Data Capsule. In the event of a vessel sinking, the Float Free Data Capsule is automatically released from its housing by the integrated Hydrostatic Release

Unit (HRU). The GPS EPIRB transmits location and homing signals for a mini- mum of 7 days to enable the unit to be safely recovered so that stored facts can be retrieved. The important voyage sta- tus information is held in the non- volatile flash memory for subsequent analysis of the factors surrounding an incident. The McMurdo C1 has memory storage options of 2-9 GB, and can sup- port Ethernet and other S-VDR interface protocols. The S-VDR data interface and power connection are contained within a protected connector, this auto- matically disconnects and activates the location beacon on deployment.

Konrad Marine

Konrad Marine's Stern Drives pro- duces the Konrad 520, a product that the company claims is the only commercial rated stern drive for diesel engine appli- cations. The 520 stern drive can accom- modate engines that generate up to 854

Nm (630 lb ft) of input torque. It is designed as an efficient and cost effec- tive propulsion solution for a number of vessel types, including fishing vessels, crew boats, water taxis, charters, para- sail boats, as well as military applica- tions.
