The fully automated ATFI envi- ronment is expected to begin in January 1993 and should be fully completed after one year. Using Rijnhaave's software services, P&O Container Line will be fully inte- grated into the new ATFI network and will operate with greater effi- ciency as a result.

Underwater Vision System Offered By Blackwater Blackwater Vision Systems, New Rochelle, N.Y., a division of Hudson River Towing and Salvage, presents an innovative technology which is reported to provide unsurpassed clarity in zero visibility water to topside personnel for a variety of below the surface operations. Called the Blackhawk, the new underwater vision system is de- signed to generate real time imag- ing of any underwater subject mat- ter regardless of bottom conditions, water column clarity or state of tur- bidity. According to Blackwater Vision, engineers using the system will have the following capabilities: to view and direct underwater work as it is being performed; generate tape or hard print documentation of projects and pre/post repair work; possess a clear viewing field from which computer renderings of the entire subject may be generated; and have the ability to produce ex- ceptional close-ups, with four times magnification power. These char- acteristics will make the Blackhawk ideal for such missions as: emer- gency rescue, recovery and salvage missions; on-site structural or weld failure inspections; archaeological exploration and accident investiga- tions.
