ITT Introduces 'Night Mariner' Night Vision Binoculars ITT's Electro-Optical Products Division introduces a breakthrough for commercial fisherman who run at night, the Night Mariner™ night vision binoculars, derived from tech- nology proven in the night-time op- erations of Desert Storm. With Night Mariner, skippers can identify objects detected on radar, read channel markers, see land- marks, detect navigational hazards, identify approaching vessels and more. The binoculars incorporate tech- nology previously available only for government and military use. Made in the U.S.A., the Night Mariner binoculars collects available light and amplifies it up to 2,000 times. Fea- tures such as the F1.17 lens and 40- degree field of view give boaters the power to see at night. Additionally, Night Mariner fea- tures an automatic gain control to ensure a consistent level of viewing brightness. Night Mariner weighs only 1.5 pounds and is constructed to with- stand a rugged environment. The binoculars are water resistant and even float, and are backed by a two- year factory warranty. For additional information on the Night Mariner binoculars from ITT Electro-Optical Products Division, Circle 165 on Reader Service Card Carline Expands Services With New DryDock Carline Management Company announced the addition of the new 134-foot by 70-foot floating drydock at its Carline Fleet facility, at mile 183 of the Mississippi River, near Geismar, La. The new drydock, de- signed by Shearer & Associates, was built by Maxon Marine. The drydock was constructed to service standard to large barges plus up to medium sized towboats. The structure has a maximum 1,000-ton capacity and reportedly exceeds ABS requirements for both strength and stability. It is designed to fully dock 200-foot barges or towboats, and to end dock up to 300-foot by 54-foot barges. The dock has 60-feet be- tween its wing walls, 48-inch high keel blocks, full flood lights, the lat- est design in safety equipment and a state-of-the-art ventilation system in each wing wall for the pump mo- tors and valve actuators. A control house located on the inboard wing wall provides one-man operation of all valves and pumps. The dock can lower from "full up" to "full down" in 25 minutes, and six large pumps allow it to reverse the cycle in 30 minutes. For more than a decade Carline has provided fleeting services, wet dock repair, gas freeing and clean- ing for liquid cargo barges.

After the company sub- mitted samples and technical data to the Navy at the beginning of the year for a full evaluation, the Navy Department has confirmed that it recognizes the role MegaFilm can play within the refurbishment of the fleet's vessels, according to the company. It has advised various yards that they are allowed to purchase the product after evaluating them against products they currently use. To date, the company's products have been used in several U.S. yards and by Caribbean Cruise Lines for protection of surfaces during refur- bishments and newbuildings. As the materials are flame retar- dant, they are able to be used verti- cally to protect walls, as well as bulkheads and machinery. The ma- terials are constructed with a pyra- mid face, so that one side of the material is flat. If the flat side is used against walls and bulkheads, the pyramids protrude and act as a deflector against impacts. When the product is used to protect floors, corridors and other large areas, the pyramids are used facing downward to create a non-slip surface. When the product is overlapped, a flat joint can be achieved as the pyramids invert into the reverse side, making the joints trip-free and allowing a large area to be covered quickly. The material is offered in two-, three- and six-foot widths, and is available in four grades. Using heavier grades, which costs more, for higher traffic areas and lower grades for light traffic areas allows MegaFilm to create a cost-effective package based on customer need.
