Cegelec To Install Winch Control System On USCG Cutter A subcontract to design and install an integrated science winch control system on the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) polar icebreaker and research cutter Healy has been awarded to the Marine Systems Division of Cegelec Project. Designed to reduce maintenance, training and spares handling, the new winch control systems incor- porate Cegelec's Gem 80/400 con- trollers, I/O hardware and GE lad- der application software. This sub- contract was awarded by the winch manufacturers, InerOcean Systems Inc. of San Diego, which is the prime contractors to Avondale Industries Inc. The science winches will be used to stream and recover instruments on cables up to 14 km long, and transmit information to data gath- ering equipment onboard the ves- sel. The data will then be passed to the laboratories on the ship or transferred ashore by data links for analysis. The winch control system and its processors will be fully integrated, allowing the machinery plant control and moni- toring system access to the data collected. Cegelec Projects is the project engineering arm of Alcatel Alsthom. Vosper Thornycroft Secures Vicam Fast Ferry Order Vosper Thornycroft Controls Division, part of Vosper Thornycroft Shipbuilding (VT), has reportedly secured orders for its already successful Vicam alarm and monitoring system. U.K. ship- builder FBM Marine is to fit Vicam on the latest batch of TriCat fast ferries for operation in the Far East. The order for three systems, with an option for two further ship sets, follows the installation of icam systems on a similar series f five, 147.6-ft. (45-m) TriCat fer- 'es already in service on the Hong ong to Macau route. Vicam is a commercial, off-the- helf system developed from VT's xperience in providing control and urveillance systems for warships orldwide, including the U.K oyal Navy's latest type 23 frigates nd Trident submarines. The sys- m has also been fitted to conven- onal RoRo ferries and to one tug. The TriCats, with capacity for ore than 300 passengers, are wered by two Solar Taurus gas rbines driving KaMeWa water- ts. Operation is entirely from the idge with machinery spaces manned. A central display orkstation (CDW) on the bridge, taining a high resolution color phics display, provides the in deck control position for y, 1996 these systems. Data Collection Units (DCU) located in the machinery spaces interface with sensors and actuators and are linked to the CDW by a dual redundant data bus. CDW dis- plays include graphic, text, trend and schematic pages.

Mustang has recently won a $500,000+ contract to supply the Canadian Navy with more than 3,000 off-the-shelf floatation cover- alls. The MS-185 style was report- edly chosen for its comfort, dura- bility and in-water performance. The large order reflects the Canadian Navy's requirement for standard issue suits on City-class frigates. Other Navies reportedly using the MS-185 or testing for use are Australia, Chile and Taiwan.
