The contents of the brochure focus main- ly on the "Genuine Propulsion Package," which includes propulsion packages in the power range of 800 to 12,300- kW, based on MAN B&W medium-speed, four- stroke engines with reduction gearboxes or MAN B&W low-speed, two-stroke engines for direct drive of controllable pitch propellers, served by appropriate control systems. More than 900 small-bore, two-stroke engines from the 26, 35 and 42 MC series, and approximately 7,500 four-stroke engines from the 23/30 and 28/32 series in the MAN B&W program have been ordered for marine duties. Total world- wide sales of all two-stroke MC engines have reportedly exceeded 50 million bhp.

Torque ranges, power ratings and available ratios are included. The brochure also includes product cut-away illustrations and pho- tos depicting applications in the broad range of markets served by Falk. An ISO-certified company with offices worldwide, Falk manufac- tures machinery that serves a broad range of markets including the mining, metal processing, and transportation industries. For a free copy of the Falk product guide Circle 32 on Reader Service Card Navmaster Professional is an electronic chart system for Windows with a range of unique user interface, navigation and safety features. PC Maritime has designed Navmaster with major emphasis on ease of use, navigation informa- tion management and compatibility with current and future developments in electronic charting. The development approach taken by PC Maritime is for Navmaster to be independent of chart type, allowing the user to have choice of cartography while also ensuring that navigation calculations are consistent. Navmaster supports the U.K. Hydrographic Office ARCS raster charts and Livechart vec- tor charts. Navmaster displays on-screen all information on the current chart as pro- vided by the chart manufacturer. Navmaster has been closely designed to the International Hydrographic Office's provi- sional specification for electronic chart sys- tems, and subjected to stringent design and performance standards during develop- ment. Used ashore, Navmaster is a com- prehensive route-planning and voyage management system for coastal and ocean navigation. Onboard, Navmaster is an electronic chart system providing the navigator with real time information, simultaneously displayed, and tools for rapidly adjusting and recalculating plans.

Users can create their own data- bases and distribute them throughout a fleet or shore-based site. Simrad Introduces Shipmate RS2400 Chartplotter Simrad, Inc. has introduced the Shipmate RS2400, a 10-in. dedicated watertight chartplotter with advanced GPS positioning and detailed C- Map electronic charts. The RS2400 employs newly developed Mark II soft- ware enhance- ments includ- ing fast chart updating, instant zoom repeat, way- 32 point and route editing by "rubberbanding" and navigation on track with autopilot output. Available in color or monochrome, in a large LCD display, both versions offer 1,000 way- points/marks plus nine tracks. In addition, the color version reportedly offers excellent readabili- ty for indoor installation, and the black and white version provides optimum readability in any light- ing condition. Important features include: dual speed indicator; external memory capability; and for improved accuracy, RS2400 is differential ready to receive RTCM 104 data from land-based refer- stations via a connected differential GPS ence receiver.

Low power consumption, portability, ease of use, rugged construction and built-in communication interfaces for navigation/data logging devices reportedly make the DE719D MK2 ideal for field use. The instrument is housed within a splash-proof aluminum enclo- sure and comes complete with a 200 Khz trans- ducer and an integral thermal chart enclosure recording mechanism. Digital processing enables the instrument to offer automatic bot- tom digitizing capabilities. When interfaced to an NMEA 0183-compatible position sensor, the DE719D MK2 reportedly provides the user with a complete, integrated hydrographic sur- vey environment. The instrument features a built-in digitizer with RS232 and RS422 data output interface ports; user-selectable DC or AC input power; automatic chart annotation for date, time, depth and position data; non- volatile internal clock and impor- tant parameter setup memory; and remote even mark input.
