MARICHEM 80 (continued from page 28) rier personnel; despite various differences in approach, each speaker will begin with the pre- mise that "safety starts with a well-trained crew." A detailed survey of chemical carrier "incidents" leads Don Butcher of Northeast London Polytechnic to ask, "How safe are chemical tankers?" Mr. Butcher is a well-known contributor in the chemical transportation / safety field, and the results of his sur- vey are bound to be of consider- able interest. Panel On Tank Containers Part of the conference program will debate a subject of growing importance, and one that has probably caused more concern for safety than any other aspect of bulk chemicals carriage: the ques- tion of multimodal tank contain- ers in the chemical trades. While the legislators appear to have cov- ered adequately the various cate- gories of ship/cargo combinations in the chemical parcel trades, it remains a fact that large quan- tities of bulk chemicals are being shipped around the world in tank MARICHEM EXHIBITORS Atlantic Rhederei W.

Germany containers aboard normal RO/RO and cellular containerships. The tragic results from a leak- ing container, safely stowed in a cellular containership hold, occu- pied the media a few years ago. A good deal of work has been done since then to attempt to pre- vent a recurrence of this kind of accident, but there is much to be done and the whole question of hazardous chemicals in intermodal tank containers must be subjected to careful scrutiny. A major company specializing in this trade reports that there is no legislation governing the quali- fications of transport companies to carry hazardous materials and that the whole business is in dan- ger of being led, under-regulated, towards a possible crisis. Three major operators will be represented on the tank contain- ers panel: Trafpak, by managing director John Ross; Bell Lines by Roy Boneham, who is also secre- tary of the newly formed Asso- ciation of Tank Container Opera- tors; and British Rail by Peter Mabbit. This panel also will in- clude Bernd Schulz-Forberg from B.A.M., Berlin; Ch. Leclair of the French Department of Naviga- tion ; and M. Querci of the French Ministry of Transport. Lt. Kevin Only Raytheon gives you A complete line sold and serviced around the world 30 Doppler logs give accurate speeds and simultaneous bottom soundings. Single or dual-axis. There are three models of the famous Raytheon Doppler Log: DSN-250 for continuous fore/ aft speeds; DSN-350 which can be switched to show either fore/aft or port/starboard speeds: and DSN-450 which shows speeds in both axes simultaneously. All three are proven performers with these unique features: • "Normal" mode readings up to 40 knots within 1/10 knot. • "Mooring" mode readings accurate within 1/100 knot. • True speeds shown over bottoms as deep as 1000 feet. • Selectable "water-mass" mode for relative speeds through water. • Simultaneous bottom soundings to 1000 feet with adjustable minimum depth alarm. • Automatic water temperature and salinity compensation. • Self-testing. No calibration. • Large, easy-to-read LED display with mechanical "distance-run" counter. • Optional digital and analog "dial" remote displays. • Single transducer. DOPPLER LOGS Satellite Navigator gives worldwide fixes accurate within 100 yards every 30 to 90 minutes. The "complete navigator", Raytheon JLE-3400 acquires and displays very accurate Lat/Long fixes derived from navy navigation satellites in polar orbit. Between satellite fixes, computer- generated dead-reckoning fixes are shown. Dead-reckoning data is keyboard entered or automatically supplied by a gyro compass and dual-axis doppler log.' Featuring a large 9-inch CRT the JLE-3400 will also display such important data as: • Date and GMT • Time since last satellite fix. • Time and angle of next satellite fix. • Ship's speed and course. • Data from up to ten way-points including: course-to-steer for Rhumb or Great Circle tracks, distance run, ETA's etc. A printer for displayed data and a remote CRT display are available as options. SATELLITE NAVIGATOR On the oceans of the world, we are most noted for our heavy-duty 3 and 10-cm radar systems. More than 50,000 vessels have been fitted. While less visible, other Raytheon products are even more numerous. These include: • RAYCAS, the finest and most economical Collision Avoidance System yet devised. • VHF-FM and SSB Radiotelephones. • Fathometer® Echosounders. • Doppler Speed Logs. • SATNAV and Loran-C. • Facsimile Receivers. All sold and serviced in major ports everywhere.
