<BODY> <div> Cruise Shin nine Annual requirements and nearly 60 percent of those for new-generation cruise liners. The Series incorporates latest Radarpi- lot Atlas 1000 radars featuring improved clutter suppression, a switchable anten- na revolution for high-speed applica- tions and enhanced monitoring of tar- gets at close range. Other main features include new Multipilot consoles based on PC-compatible hardware for improved interchange of radar and ECDIS data while other refinements include an option for a remote diagnos- tic unit with which it will be possible to not only access a system's status via the Internet or Inmarsat-B or C. NACOS systems additionally form an integral part of proprietary Atlas Ship Control Centres (SCC's) that combine and automate all main bridge equipment control operations inclusive of naviga- tion, communications, engine control and alarm monitoring. A new SCC development is a purpose-designed ver- sion for small vessels. It features Atlas 12-in. 1000 series radars and a Geamar integrated monitoring and control sys- tem supported by a series of flat-screen displays. The radars form part of a NACOS integrated navigation command sub-assembly based on a radar-con- trolled trackpilot with other key con- stituents including a Chartpilot ECDIS module for processing and editing of electronic chart data. To date, nearly 40 of the new Series 4 configurations have already been sold worldwide, with total sales of all NACOS systems now exceeding 650 systems. Latest commissionings include 65-4 systems for all four Cruise liners being built by Meyer Werft for delivery to Star Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line between 2001- 2004. Similar configurations have also been chosen for P&O Princess Cruises' two 113,000-gt liners under construc- tion at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan while another is currently being installed as part of an Atlas Ship Control Center (SCC) on Irish Ferries' Finnish- built 50,000 gt RoPax Ulysses due to enter service this year; scheduled for service routes between Holyhead and Dublin, the vessel is the world's largest of its type.

The Disney Magic is a two-year-old cruise ship that weighs 83,000 tons and is 964 ft. (293.8 m). The cruise ship's first scheduled docking was with Norshipco and has since been delivered. While at Norshipco the ship underwent inspection and main- tenance of its underwater hull and related engine room systems. The short break in service allowed Nor- shipco and Disney's subcontractor to refurbish the ship's clubs, theaters and staterooms. Don Everton, Direc- tor of Commercial Sales, stated that, "for quite some time now we have worked as a team with Disney on the docking of this vessel and by work- ing together we made it happen on time and within budget." A second Disney vessel, Disney Wonder, is booked for docking at Norshipco in September of 2001.
