PRODUCTSHome Study Programs For Mariners Professional mariners learn in a variety of ways, times and places. They have to. After spending months at sea, that home-port time can be hard to Þ ll up with train- ing. Sorensen offers home study programs with various options to prepare deck of- Þ cers and engineers. The 500/1600 Master/Mate Inland or Near Coastal program prepares mariners to earn their Master or Mate license on vessels not exceeding 500 or 1600 gross registered tons and operating within inland or near coastal waters. Students also receive one week of exam preparation at the Chesapeake Marine Training Institute campus. www.chesapeakemarineinst.com FloScan Receives ABS CertiÞ cationFloScan Instrument Company, Inc. has obtained ABS Product Design As- sessment CertiÞ cation for its new line of Series K Stainless Steel Diesel Fuel Flowmeters. This certiÞ cation per- mits the installation of FloScan Fuel Monitoring Systems on ABS-classed vessels requiring steel piping compo- nents.

Co. Ð both fully compliant with EPA Tier 4 Final emissions regulations Ð deliver multiprocess welding capabilities and smooth generator power, designed for the professional welder. De- signed to extend runtimes by 55 percent, reduce fuel use by 25 percent and noise by 40 percent, these units combine for a safer, more productive jobsite. The smaller footprint allows trucks to carry more heavy payloads. Both are Stick, MIG, Flux-Cored and DC TIG-capable. With carbon arc gouging capabilities, the generators can power Spectrum plasma cutters for additional ß exibility. www.MillerWelds.com Marco Announces Launch of New Website Marco Group International, a provider of service and equipment for the surface preparation industry, has launched its redesigned Marco. us website.

De- signed for use with stainless steel tube and pipe, ACT clamps can be used for both un- derwater and top-side applications. Crev- ice corrosion is a problem when seawater is trapped in gaps between conventional clamps and the pipe or tube. ACT Clamps utilize anti-corrosion elastomer strips to Þ rmly hold the tube while eliminating gaps seawater can penetrate. The clamp body provides UV stability and is resistant against seawater, rain and oil. STAUFF ACT clamps have been extensively Þ eld-tested in the Dutch North Sea. www.stauffusa.com October 201356 MNMN October2013 Layout 50-58.indd 56MN October2013 Layout 50-58.indd 569/30/2013 11:40:25 AM9/30/2013 11:40:25 AM
