Each system consists of two BridgeMaster 340 ARPA radars interswitched to X- band and S-band antennas. The MIRANS 4000A system includes MapMaster electronic mapping with chart table, a Live Situation Report console for detailed display of ship operational status, and an Mk 90 GPS stand-alone receiver. In other Racal-Decca news, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) will install Racal-Decca BridgeMaster 180 color radars aboard all new Severn and Trent Class lifeboats. Deliveries have al- ready begun, and the total order is expected to reach 110 radar sys- tems. Over 2,500 BridgeMaster sys- tems have been sold worldwide since the range was launched two years ago.

Hyundai's proposal includes a partnering agreement with the American design firm PACECO, which has more than three decades of crane design and manufacturing experience. The crane is part of an estimated $15.1 million project to provide a larger, 100-foot gauge crane at Terminal 6 and upgrade work on the container dock and crane rails. The third generation December, 1993 crane will accommodate more room on the dock for the trucks that feed the cranes. It has a long boom to reach containers stacked 16-wide on future post-Panamax ships. In 1992 the Port of Portland re- portedly had a 24 percent increase in container volume over the previ- ous year. Port container growth stands at 9.1 percent for the first nine months of 1993.

Operated by Korea Telecom, it is the 41st to pro- vide access to Inmarsat's global mobile satellite communications network and it complements a simi- lar service being offered from Kumsan for the Pacific Ocean Re- gion (POR). Kumsan is initially providing Inmarsat-A services for users on land and sea, including automatic dialing, international op- erator, technical assistance, person to person and collect calls, advice on call duration, telex and line testing and commissioning. In the near future it will also begin offering a range of Inmarsat-C services. Inmarsat-C allows global store-and- forward data and text messaging communications using small termi- nals.
