Giro Engineering's Duoline Keeps Watch For Fuel Leaks Engine room fires, especially in the advent of electronic monitoring systems when some machinery spaces may be without visual check- ing for some time, can be extremely dangerous on any vessel. The Duoline fuel pipe system, from Hampshire-based Giro Engineering Ltd., has overcome these problems through the development of a double- skin system, incorporating the high pressure fuel pipe within a rigid tubular steel outer sheath, securely locked into special end fittings. In the event of the HP pipe leaking or fracturing, the fuel is retained within the space between the concentric pipes and safely drained to a hold- ing tank.

Within the last decade Raytheon introduced the Pathfinder Superior Technology (Pathfinder S/T), a ra- dar that could clearly display the smallest targets in the midst of rain and sea clutter. Now the Pathfinder S/T, with its high-power and large antenna, has become widely ac- cepted for vessel traffic purposes. Having launched a full-range of dis- play equipment, including the C40 and Autotrac Series, Raytheon can now supply systems meeting the requirements ranging from a simple harbor VTS to a full coastal surveil- lance system. Raytheon's Vessel Traffic System is already operating in New York Harbor, and is currently being in- stalled at the Prince William Sound.
