Valmet's New Automation System Ordered For Two Product Carriers At Hyundai A research project by the Royal Norwegian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, "Ship of the Future," has led to an active co- operation between shipowners, suppliers, shipyards, and research institutions in the field of ship automation. The results of the project will now be implemented onboard two new ships being built by Hyundai Heavy In- dustries in South Korea for L. Gill-Johannes- sen & Company of Oslo. In tough international competition—in the final round from Japan—Valmet Automation a.s. of Spikkestad, Norway, won the contract for the automation systems. This was made possible through close cooperation with the Oslo-based Data-Ship a.s. Together, the two firms were able to offer a systems package representing the most technically advanced applications available on the international market. The Valmet system components are well- proven standard products. What is new in the ship automation field for the L. Gill-Johannes- sen ships is the actual system concept, i.e., in- ternal data communication between sub-sys- tems; extensive utilization of an advanced, microprocessor-based process control system (Valmet's Damatic); and an advanced admin- istrative computer system with programs for maintenance, spare parts, purchasing, report- ing, harbor information, and accounting. The powerful data net to which the sub-sys- tems are connected facilitates extensive data communication internally onboard the ship, as well as externally via the ship's satellite communications system.

Box 2046, New Hyde Park, NY 11040 The data net and the administrative com- puter system are being supplied by Data-Ship a.s. For a number of years this company has specialized in administrative computing for shipping, onboard as well as ashore. It has also participated actively in the development of data communications ship/shore. Valmet's Damatic Marine Systems (DMS) will monitor and control the propulsion ma- chinery and power supply, as well as the load- ing and discharging processes. The process control system is based on the industrial version of DMS, which is already operating in 150 major industrial plants. When DMS was introduced in the marine market about a year ago, it embodied some- thing genuinely new in the field. Valmet has now obtained contracts for in- stallations aboard 12 ships, of which seven are being built in South Korean yards. Three in- stallations have already been delivered. The installations aboard the L. Gill-Johannessen ships are characterized by a high degree of utilization of the technical potential for a sys- tem of this type, and are considered to be a breakthrough for advanced process control systems for ships. Using the Damatic system, the crew can monitor and control, via color screens, a number of processes that tradition- ally require between seven and 10 separate automation systems, with resultant operation and maintenance problems. Valmet Automation is said to be the only company, internationally, that has obtained type approval for a so-called "multi-function automation system" by a classification society (Det norske Veritas) for this kind of system.

It gives the navi- gational information rapidly and with accu- racy. In its Dead Reckoning Mode it can com- pute dead-reckoning position when loran signals have been temporarily lost or when out of range of loran. A Track Mode stores the latest loran and/or satellite position fixes in memory. This fea- ture lets one retrace or review the vessel's course and is invaluable should one lose loran reception. It can provide an accurate starting position for dead reckoning. Set and drift are computed by the Trimble Model 300 LORAN Computer and are avail- able at the press of a key. Set and drift are calculated using speed and heading and loran position. Waypoint switching can be manual or au- tomatic, and one can be copied into another. Waypoint functions are the same whether used in dead reckoning or with loran. When used with external transducers or other navigational aids, the Model 300 be- comes the center of a complete navigation sys- tem coordinating information from a number of sources.
