PRODUCTSEcospeed Coating System Ecospeed is an impermeable and extremely tough underwater hull coating system that lasts the lifetime of the vessel and permits cleaning whenever needed during a vessels sailing life without damage to the coating. The coatings surface texture will even improve over time with regular in-water hull maintenance. This keeps the hull at its smoothest and results in a major saving in fuel. The decrease in fuel con- sumption thus obtained contributes to the reduction of carbon footprints, and the fact that Ecospeed is a 100% non-toxic technology makes this system extremely envi- ronmentally benign. www.hydrex.be Fathoms FREE Guide to Vessel Lubricants Fathom have launched a brand new, free pub- lication series for the maritime industry.

On the Beam: How 3D laser scanning technology brings new opportunities in ship re? tting and conversion. In this pa- per, AVEVA examines how rapid, accurate and non-intrusive 3D laser surveying can increase shipyard capabilities to meet the coming surge in demand for ship conversion and re? t proj- ects. Early availability of detailed and accurate 3D surveys from laser scan data enables shipyards to plan the project, design the re? t and procure materials ready to begin work as soon as the vessel reaches the repair dock. www.aveva.com/onthebeam Sea-Fires Triton 8 Alarm Panel With commercial vessels, being able to ef? ciently pin- point the source of ? res enables quicker response.
