Intergraph Corporation recently intro- duced the latest version of its IntelliShip software for shipbuilding. The 6.0 ver- sion of IntelliShip is designed to provide new capabilities and enhancements in ship molded form design, manufactur- ing planning, structural manufacturing and drawings along with improved per- formance.

For ship outfitting, new capabilities and enhancements include those for drawing production, reporting and model translation. Automated drawing production enhancements include improved performance for piping iso- metric drawings, new orthographic and isometric drawing types and batch scheduling for drawing generation.

Report improvements include simplified creation and editing of reports as well as a number of new report types ready for immediate use.

Intergraph now also provides capabili- ty to reference AVEVA Tribon hull objects and structural designs in

IntelliShip for outfitting. The capability allows Tribon users to apply advanced

Intergraph technology for outfitting while continuing to use Tribon for struc- tural tasks. "Companies using Tribon can now implement Intergraph's highly- productive 3D software for outfitting by referencing Tribon structural designs in

IntelliShip," said Gerhard Sallinger, president, Intergraph Process, Power &

Marine. "They can begin implementing the advanced Intergraph ship design technology today with limited impact on their engineering IT infrastructure.

Intergraph's core commitment is to pro- vide clients with open and flexible solu- tions that enable improved work processes for competitive advantage."

Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) Vice

President Yeong Soo Bae, Ph.D., said, "IntelliShip will make tremendous changes in the traditional ship design and construction process and these changes put SHI well on the way to our goal of significantly reducing design and construction errors and associated costs."

BAE is directing IntelliShip design efforts at SHI, which is using IntelliShip on a growing number of projects at its

Geoje shipyard, among the largest marine production facilities in the world.

At Seaward, we use a unique production technique to manu- facture the rugged elastomer skin for our fenders. But real quality is more than skin deep! What’s inside is extremely important too.

That’s why we fill our fenders with Ole Tex ® closed-cell foam by

Armacell. If you’re going to build the best fenders on the planet, you have to use the best materials through out.

Ole Tex provides an outstanding strength to weight ratio, excellent energy absorption and superb mildew and rot resistant qualities. These characteristics help explain why our fenders offer the best protection available, and outlast others under the most severe conditions. It’s after years of harsh weather, continually being bumped, struck and compressed, that our customers really come to appreciate the inner beauty of our fenders.

So if you are looking for harbor and dock protection, don’t be fooled by fenders that resemble ours on the outside. We devel- oped the first solid foam filled fenders over 35 years ago. We’re often imitated but never duplicated. * Ole Tex is a registered trademark of Armacell LLC

Bill on Ocean Science

Training

Senator Lautenberg (D-CT) intro- duced a bill (S. 1465) to strengthen programs relating to ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes science training by providing coordination of efforts, greater interagency cooperation, and the strengthening and expansion of related programs administered by the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration, and to diversify the ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes sci- ence community by attracting under- represented groups.
