ELECTRONICS UPDATE Robertson-Shipmate Introduces Multi-Station VHF Radiotelephone To U.S. Marine Market —Free Literature Offered— Robertson-Shipmate, Inc., Haup- pauge, N.Y., has just introduced in the U.S. a new multi-station com- mercial VHF radiotelephone, the RS-7100, for the marine market. According to the company, the new RS-7100 VHF radiotelephone is a heavy-duty commercial grade system that permits use of up to six full-function remote stations. Ex- tremely popular in Europe, the RS- 7100 is now approved for use in the United States. This is a full duplex radio, with dual watch, designed primarily for commercial applica- tions such as larger ships, drilling platforms and workboats, but it is also said to be ideal for the largest yachts. The RS-7100 is a synthesized ra- dio with all U.S., International and Weather channels. System func- tions are controlled through a splashproof keypad, and selected channels and operating functions are displayed on a backlighted LCD. Construction is of diecast aluminum and the unit can be mounted on tabletop, bulkhead, or 19-inch rack. Remote stations are extremely com- pact and have control panels identi- cal to the master station. All sta- tions have built-in internal monitor- ing and self-test programs. The system operates from 12 or 24 VDC, as well as 110/220 VAC.

New Public Dock Facility At Port Of Iberia Is Reported A Success The Port of Iberia, New Iberia, La., recently reported that the new public dock facility completed there last year is attracting great interest and is proving to be more profitable than had been anticipated. The new facility, fronting on the port's Commercial Canal and link- ing to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf of Mexico, con- sists of 12 acres of land in the port's waterfront expansion addition, bounded by 18-foot channels on three sides, with 600 feet of bulk- heading, concrete slab loading and unloading areas, lighting, potable water, protective fencing, an opera- tions building available for leasing and a steel warehouse, 100 by 150 square feet in area. A recent addition to the public dock's service capabilities is the availability of a 110-ton-capacity Manitowoc mobile crane which will be kept at the dock to provide lifting and loading services as needed. In the Port of Iberia's immediate future is the possibility of a $1,610,000 expansion program, with funds provided by the Port Com- mission, Iberia Parish Council, the State of Louisiana, and the Eco- nomic Development Administration (EDA), Austin, Texas. The pro- posed development will include dredging of additional canals, con- struction of roads and utilities to serve prime industrial areas.
