With NeoPlanar you can broad- cast clear, intelli- gible messages across piers, decks, and ter- minals. Circle 101 Autoship Autoship System's CAD/CAM suite includes programs used for vessel surface model- ing, hydrostatic/ strength analyses, pow- ering, structural modeling, plate expan- sion and nesting. They are fully integrat- ed - the model transfer from one pro- gram to the next is easy and error free. Standard file exchanges are supported allowing data exchange with third party programs. Circle 102 Dynamold Dynamold is a manu- facturer of pre-cat- alyzed- filmed epoxy chocking material for engine and component installation. The pre-catalyzed DMS-4-828 filmed epoxy chock material's is designed to be less strenuous and cleaner than conven- tional epoxy chocking methods; thus reducing labor costs, effort, installation time, as well as reducing cleanup and operator mixing errors. Circle 103 Harbor Offshore The Port Security Barrier is developed by Navy Facilities Engineering and Service Center and employed into service. It provides a visual deterrance in addition to physical protection against boat attacks, and is composed of units ranging from 30 to 50 ft. segmented construction consisting of HDPE or steel pon- toons, trusses, high capacity. Circle 105 KBR KBR provides maritime ser- vices that can help you sail smoothly. Whether you are constructing plant and equipment, operating it repairing it or protecting it, KBR's life cycle focus ensures that you always have access to trusted sup- port. Circle 111 Kongsberg Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd. is recognized as a leader in the man- ufacturing of underwater sur- veillance sonar systems. The com- pany's detection sonars are deployed with the US Coast Guard in their IAS (Integrated Anti-swim- mer) systems. Circle 112 Wärtsilä Wärtsilä is a supplier of marine engines and propulsion systems for all types of vessels and off- shore applications. As The Ship Power Supplier Wärtsilä is committed to serving the marine market with reliable, cost effec- tive and environmentally sound marine power systems. Circle 108 Mekanord Mekanord special- izes in equipment for Controllable Pitch Propulsion, which is advanta- geous in tugs, workboats, ferries and other vessels with varying work conditions. Their program includes C.P. gear- box, C.P. propeller and remote con- trol system. Circle 109 Side Power Side-Power Thruster Systems manufactures joystick, remote or touch-controlled side thrusters for personal boat use, giv- ing the driver control and allowing for maneuvering in and out of tight spots. Standard features include overheat protection and self-lock- ing high pressure contacts, and eas- ily installs from the front side. Circle 110 Kaeser Manufactured by Kaeser Compressors, SmartPipe is made from smooth, calibrated aluminum with a low friction coefficient, elim- inating risk of rust and corrosion. Full bore fittings minimize pressure drop and leak-free connectors pre- vent compressed air loss. Available in multiple sizes. Circle 113 MAN B&W The L16/24 engine has a 450-990 kW power range and operates at 1200 rpm, but uses the same fuel as the vessel's propulsion engines, reducing overall cost. Each complete cylinder assembly can be removed as a unit for main- tenance or replacement, and mounts reduce vibration. Circle 114 Imtra Imtra Corporation's low-wattage/high- brightness LED spotlight, manu- factured specifically for marine applications, harnesses three Lux- eon 1W PowerLEDs to produce illumination equivalent to that of a typical 20-watt halogen bulb, but with consumption of just 6 watts and an estimated life of 50,000 hours. Circle 116 CCWS Designed by Cof- fin World Water Systems (CWWS), ULTRA-SEP Bilge Water Separators were the first sys- tems in the world certified by the USCG to the standard of the IMO's new resolution MEPC.107.(49). USCG certifi- cates of approval issued to all eight available ULTRA-SEP models. Circle 117 Voith For 75 years, Voith has been designing systems that are safe for man and envi- ronment. Voith offers tailor-made drive systems for a wide range of applications- for harbor assistance and escorting duties, ferries or naval applications up to special marine craft. Circle 118 Comnav Designed to work with the ComNav ComPilot Advanced Autopilot System, the 203 has a backlit graphical display so system information is easy to read. The watertight case has sealed openings and is made from high-impact material that is resis- tant to most chemicals so the unit can withstand the harsh marine environment. Circle 119 Shell Shell Alexia LS is cylinder oil with a lower Base Number (BN), ensuring lubri- cation of modern low speed engines when burning Low Sulphur Fuel Oil. Its low BN means that the cor- rect surface properties of cylinder liners are maintained and excessive piston deposits are avoided. Shell Alexia LS has good detergency and dispersancy. Circle 120 Furuno Furuno’s dual- frequency searchlight sonar CH-300 is designed for a wide range of vessels. It incorpo- rates both a low and a high fre- quency (60/153 or 85/215 kHz) transducer in one soundome. The high frequencies give a detailed search near and all around the ves- sel. Circle 123 Daytronic Daytronic has been in the business of solving unique, challenging measurement and control problems. A recognized leader in sensor-based signal condi- tioning, Daytronic is positioned to serve the needs of a fast-changing digital world using the proven capa- bilities of analog measurement technology. Circle 107 Kwant Controls Kwant Controls (formerly Stork- Kwant B.V.; new name effective 1- 11-2005) designs and manufactures nautical instruments for over 65 years. The range of products con- sists of: Control Units, Telgraph Systems, RSCU-Units, Electric Shaft Systems, various types of Indicators joy sticks etc. Circle 106 Nautamatic Marine Manufactured by Nautamat- ic Marine Systems., the Glad- iator Autopilot is designed for boats with hydraulic steering. The Gladiator fea- tures Shadow Drive, giving the opera- tor helm control without having to press a button, and has no rudder feedback transducers. The autopilot holds in reverse and the system comes 24/7 customer service. Circle 121 Carlisle & Finch C&F uses the same precision optics as supplied to the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, but incorporated within two Yacht Designs: Stream- lined and Classic. A Precision- Optic reflector provides a deeper dish”parabola, which collects more light and the ability to focus the beam to a 1-degree, rather than 2-3 degrees. Circle 122 Fiber Sensys SPIDeR’s cable consists of a backbone-insensitive to vibration-and up to 50 individual sensor cable strands. Each strand is attached either to a perimeter fence or buried in soft soil nearby. If an intruder disturbs one of these zones, the APU detects a change in the pattern of conducted light from the corresponding sensor cable strand, resulting in an alarm. Circle 125 ASA/Jensen ASA/Jensen Marine's Voyager Observation Sys- tem can be utilized as a way to keep watch over the engine room or sleeping quarters. Using the system to for potential fire hazards is becoming is a way to stay informed of the boat's inner workings. As another option, the observation system can also be used as a security system. Circle 124 Netwave NetWave Sys- tems intro- duced its NW- 4000 series of Compact Voy- age Data Recorders. This VDR concept was developed in a co- maker ship between several manu- facturers, making use of so Digital Signal Processors, within net- worked microprocessor architec- ture.
