<BODY> <div> NEW PRODUCTS 56 Maritime Reporter & Engineering News • MAY 2014 Northport Actisense Engine Monitoring Units Northport Systems of- fers a new intelligent National Marine Elec- tronic Association (NMEA)-compliant gateway, the Actisense Engine Monitoring Unit (EMU-1). Designed to digitize analog engine data, The EMU-1 gateway is an innovative, cost- effective, and easy-to-install solution that allows boaters to display and monitor the engines of their vessel on any NMEA 2000 displays. The Actisense EMU-1 gateway is capable of digitizing up to six parameters or gauge inputs in parallel, or four alarms, two tachometer and two auxiliary inputs. Each unit can be confi gured to meet the versatility of various engine makes and models. www.actisense.com L-3 SAM to Supply Electrical Package for DanTysk Wind Project L-3 SAM Electronics won a contract for the supply and installation of the electrical sys- tem package on an accommodation platform being built in Kiel, Germany, by Nobiskrug of Rendsburg as part of the DanTysk off- shore wind farm project jointly developed by Stadtwerke München (SWM) and Vattenfall. L-3 SAM Electronics’ scope of supply for the 2,500-sq.-m. platform covers provision of low-voltage switchgear and uninterrupted power supplies inclusive of cabling, all in- ternal communications, IT, entertainment amenities and advanced safety facilities con- sisting of an automated remote control and monitoring system with alarm functions. Other equipment includes navigational and general lighting systems, type-approved sea marking components, GMDSS communications and a radar system. www.vulkan.com Voyager Planning Station Adds AtoBviaC Distance Tables AtoBviaC said that its BP Shipping Marine Distance Tables are now incorporated into the Voyager Plan- ning Station solution. Routes are calculated by Mas- ter Mariners to provide accurate, reliable calculations taking into account issues such as traffi c separation schemes and navigational restrictions. For the tenth year in succession, new WS fl at rates have been cal- culated using round voyage distances taken from tables developed by AtoBviaC – the BP Shipping Marine Distance Tables. www.atobviaconline.com Navis Joystick System for New Yacht Navis Engineering will supply its JP4000 Joystick Control System to Drettmann Yachts for a 24m Explorer Series vessel under construction at Acico Yachts BV in Enkhuizen in the Netherlands. The yacht features unique electrical podded thrusters in both the stern azimuth and bow tunnels which re- duce sound and vibration and the JP4000 adds con- trol and fl exibility when maneuvering or with the integrated autopilot at sea. www.navis.com MarineNav’s New Line of Displays MarineNav Ltd. devel- oped its Mariner Series for commercial vessels requiring dedicated sin- gle-input marine grade displays. Ideal for use with Engine Manage- ment, Advanced Vessel Monitoring, radar and ECDIS systems, the Mariner displays feature optically-bonded AR glass, 300- 400 nits brightness, IP 65 water-resistance (front), and dedicated backlit front controls. All of Marin- eNav’s displays are constructed from marine grade aluminum and come with a two-year warranty. Mariner Series displays are available in 15”, 19”, 21.5” and 24” sizes and offer a number of options including optional high-brightness panels, IP 65 water-resistance (rear), and projected-capacitive (P- CAP) touchscreen. www.marinenav.ca Lilaas L01 Control Full type approval has been granted to the new generation ‘plug and play’ L01 control lever, opening the way for widespread uptake of the integrated electronic shaft system technology Norwegian supplier Lilaas believes will change the ship control sector. The all-electric L01 has secured type approval from DNV covering International Association of Classifi cation Societies E10 standards for control units, EN60945 standards for Marine Navigation Equipment, and the International Protection standard IP56 covering protection against access to hazardous parts, ingress of solid foreign objects and water. The L01 can be used for Azimuth, single and double thruster/propulsion control. It features a distinctive integral display that can be customized to suit individual users, with all information available in one place. The all-electric confi guration also means that the L01 requires a very shallow space beneath the lever. However, one of the L01’s most compelling feature is its drop- in installation and the fact that force feedback is achieved without intermediary motors. www.lilaas.no MR #5 (50-58).indd 56 4/30/2014 3:42:00 PM </div> <span id="lblContents"></span> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.digitalwavepublishing.com/" title="Digital Magazine">Digital Wave Publishing</a> </BODY>
