Twelve Marine Pilots Complete MSI Workshop Twelve marine pilots from three dif- ferent pilot organizations recently com- pleted a workshop designed to help achieve greater safety for ships and the environment. The program, en- titled "Bridge Resource Management for Marine Pilots," was conducted by MarineSafety International (MSI), an industry leader specializing in profi- ciency training for merchant mariners. MSI operates com- puter-based shiphandling simu- lator complexes in Kings Point, N.Y.; Newport, R.I.; San Diego, Calif.; and Rotterdam, The Neth- erlands. The concepts of Bridge Resource Management (BRM) have evolved from analyses of air- craft and ship accidents and hu- man factors studies conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board (NSTB) and the U.S. Coast Guard. MSI is the maritime subsidiary of FlightSafety Interna- tional (FSI). Throughout the year, Pilot BRM workshops will be conducted at FSI centers in Seattle; Long Beach; Houston; St. Louis; Philadelphia; and Montreal; as well as at MSI centers in New York, Newport and San Diego.

Circle 299 on Reader Service Card Separation System Removes Emulsified And Dissolved Oil Enviro-Crest Services, Inc. intro- duced an oil/water separation sys- tem which can remove both emulsi- fied and dissolved oil, as well as free oil from a waste water stream. The system reportedly removes most surfactants as well, which pass through their coalescing filters at levels which keep the operator from incurring state and federal fines. The ECS Separator is available in five-, 10-, 15-, 25- and 50-gpm units.

Whether long line, drift netting, floating tow lines or dock lines, Spurs' prop-mounted large and medium vessel line and net cutter is designed to cut away lines, nets, etc. before entanglement begins. This can help to minimize costly charges and idle drydock time. As line is grabbed by the propeller, it is wound toward the propeller hub and picked up by the rotating cutter blade where it is instantly cut, forward or re- verse, and washed away, clearing the propeller with each revolution.
