MacGregor-Navire President Hanson Dies Suddenly The MacGregor-Navire organi- zation has announced with deep regret that Per-Ake Hanson, president and chief executive offi- cer, died suddenly at the age of 48 on July 17 at Kungsbacka, Swe- den, as a result of a heart attack. Following the purchase of the MacGregor organization by the Kone Group in May 1983, he was appointed president and CEO of the new MacGregor-Navire orga- nization. Mr. Hanson took his master of science degree in mechanics at Chalmers University of Technol- ogy in Gothenburg, and in 1960 joined Kockums Shipyard as a group leader in machinery design. Following appointments in var- ious Swedish companies, he be- came technical director of H.B. Maynard in Gothenburg, and was responsible for development pro- grams involving shipbuilding, ports, and industry. In 1973 he was named president of Navire Cargo Gear International A.B., and was instrumental in develop- ing it into one of the leading cargo access equipment designers. Navidyne Study Shows New Satcom Antennas Save Shipowners Money The new generation of light- weight marine satcom antennas are achieving large savings for shipowners, according to a study recently completed by Navidyne Corporation. Navidyne's vice pres- ident of marketing, Jerry N. Wil- son, stated that as much as $8,000 could be saved in a typical satcom installation, chiefly in reduced shipping and installation costs. Navidyne's study compared the to- tal costs of fitting the new ESZ- 10000 vs. a typical older satcom system on a ship in various U.S. and overseas ports. The ESZ-10000, which was type approved in May by INMARSAT, uses a unique phased-array an- tenna that is less than one-third the weight of earlier satcom models. This lightweight antenna achieves the same high level of system performance and reliabil- ity as the far larger dish antennas. Navidyne's new satcom system is small enough that it can be shipped via air freight at low cost, said Mr. Wilson. The equipment can be easily installed in any port in the world during a brief stop- over for loading, unloading or bunkering. The lightweight an- tenna can be easily installed using tools already on board.

The FMS Cata- lyst Proportioning Pump and De- pulsing Unit is designed to work as part of a complete system in- cluding catalyst, storage tank and day tank. The FMS proportioning pump allows accurate proportioning of FE-4 from the daytank into the fuel line. The proportioning pump is powered by a variable stroke, oil-driven, diaphragm pump. The standard pump operates on 115 VAC. DC and multiphase pump motors are available on special or- der. The pump comes in various output capacities, measured in gallons per minute or hour, to meet virtually any fuel oil flow requirement. The FMS Depulsing Unit is de- signed to smooth out the pumping pulses in the flow from the cata- lyst proportioning pump to the fuel oil line.
