Snamprogetti & IMODCO Form Joint Venture A joint venture between Snam- progetti and IMODCO, a unit of AMCA International based in the United States, has been awarded a contract by AGIP S.p.A., on a turn- key lump sum basis for a deepwater floating production storage and off- loading terminal (FPSO). The system will produce crude oil from an offshore oil field and will treat and store the product in a per- manently moored converted tanker. Production from the dedicated tanker will be transferred offshore to shuttle tankers. The FPSO will be installed in a water depth of approximately 100 meters and will be connected to sub- marine wellheads controlled from the vessel. This system is particularly tai- lored for the development of margi- nal offshore fields and for extended production testing of larger fields. The FPSO features a bow-mounted turret mooring developed by IMODCO for efficient permanent installations in intermediate water depths and moderate to harsh con- ditions. The facilities will be installed by September 20, 1986. Total project turnaround time will be less than 12 months. SAVE up to 300 barrels of oil per year! ELIMINATE THAT OLD STEAM HORN The Kohlenberg TRITON Piston Horn is a unique sound producing unit because it requires no compressed air and no diaphragms yet utilizes air vibrations in a tuned sound column. The unit consists of an electric motor driving a piston with a cylinder similar in appearance to an air compressor. Very economical to operate and in- stall. Write for bulletin. 92C. Also available is our KB-20 electric horn available in all A.C or D.C. voltages for vessels up to 246' in length. KRHLEHBERC BROS. (0. 1986 Monroe St. Two Rivers, Wisconsin, 54S41 U.S.A.

Chinese Shipyard Delivers Mooring Platform For Use In The South China Sea The Chinese shipyard Huangpu in Guangzhou handed over a 43- meter-high, 700-ton mooring plat- form to the Total China & Nanhai West Oil Co., for oil exploration in the South China Sea. The platform, designed to withstand the strongest hurricane, will be used for the trans- fer of oil to shore, and to anchored tankers up to 170,000 dwt. Free 16-Page Color Brochure On TankRadar Offered By Saab Marine Saab Marine Electronics AB of Gothenburg, Sweden, is offering a free 16-page color brochure on Tank- Radar, a new complete system for monitoring liquid cargoes in tank- ers. The TankRadar system measures level, temperature and inert gas pres- sure in cargo tanks and the level in ballast and bunker tanks. The system will also compute vol- ume and weight and can measure draught, list, pressure and other pa- rameters. Information is presented in ana- log or digital displays, in the form of mimic diagrams on a color VDU, and/or on portable wireless read- outs. TankRadar can be interfaced with the vessel's load calculator or external computer system. Elec- tronic remote control of pumps and valves can also be incorporated in the system. All tankers and combination carriers may be equipped with TankRadar. Reliability and accura- cy are unaffected by the chemical composition, temperature or densi- ty of the cargo. TankRadar can be specified for vessels that carry crude, refined petroleum products, bitumen or aggressive chemicals. According to the brochure, the prime advantage of TankRadar lies in its use of microwave radar for lev- el gauging. The method, developed by Saab, has already been installed on board more than 250 tankers. The explanatory text of the publi- cation details how TankRadar works, and is accompanied by excel- lent color drawings of the complete system as well as its individual com- ponents.
