Chevron Replaces Copper Ion Systems With Electrocatalytic's ChloropacR Electrocatalytic, Inc. was chosen to replace cop- per ion systems with its Chloropac electrochlor- ination systems on eight Chevron tankers. Pic- tured is the Chevron Nagasaki. Electrocatalytic, Inc. (Elcat) has been contracted to supply eight Chloropac8 electrochlorination sys- tems to Chevron shipping company of San Francisco for their VLCCs. Chloropac protects seawater con- densers, heat exchangers, sea chests and piping against biological foul- ing and marine growth that causes excessive fuel consumption and cor- rosion. Fully automated and self-clean- ing, Chloropac converts seawater sodium chloride into sodium hy- pochlorite, the active ingredient for fouling control. The Chevron in- stallations commenced in January and are expected to be completed in August. Headquartered in Warren, N.J., Elcat is a leader in water treatment and corrosion control installations worldwide, backed by an engineer- ing and technical service network. Textron Chosen For Japan's Amphibious Craft Program Textron Marine & Land Systems (TM&LS), has been chosen for a new amphibious craft program of the Japanese Defense Agency (JDA). The program commences with the award of a $50 million contract. This first contract includes one Landing Craft Air-Cushion (LCAC), engineering documentation, train- ing manuals, reserve subsystems, spare parts and support test equip- ment. Additional craft are expected over a period of several years. Ini- tial delivery will take place in Octo- ber, 1997. The design of the large air cush- ion vehicles is based on the U.S. Navy's highly successful LCAC ve- hicle for which TM&LS is the prime contractor. The hovercraft will be built at the TM&LS manufacturing facility, located in Eastern New Or- leans. Japan has committed to expand- ing its maritime capabilities with the acquisition of hovercraft which will operate from the well decks of the 8,900-ton Landing Ship Trans- port (LST) class ships. The LSTs will be built in Japan. As part of Japan's increasing role in United Nations peacekeeping operations, the LST/LCAC combination will be utilized specifically for U.N. Peace- keeping Operations (PKO).
