MMC Wins NNS Contract To Supply Tankers MMC International was awarded a contract by Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) for sounding tubes and pipes to be installed on the tankers being built for Eletson. The sounding tubes will be posi- tioned at regular intervals on the deck perimeter above the double hull. This provides entrances to the void space through which an MMS gauging device can be insert- ed to test for the presence of the product being carried, which would indicate tank leakage. MMC has also won a contract from NNS for the same project for vapor valves and instruments for November, 1996 portable gauging, sounding and sampling. For more information on MMC Intl. Circle 15 on Reader Service Card Doctor Diesel Range Extended Icon Research has introduced several additions to the Doctor diesel performance monitoring sys- tem. The new additions include a simultaneous twin channel portable unit for simultaneous measurement of fuel pressure or vibration and cylinder pressure. The instrument is the same size as the single channel DK-2, which now holds up to 60 readings. The range of portable units has been extended to include 10 and 12 channel models. Software improvements include automated downloading for any number of engines, fast entry of additional readings such as exhaust tempera- tures, rack settings and full archiv- ing facilities.

PFA Inter-Link and Mobil Amos Maintenance System (MAMS) reportedly offer ship managers an efficient manner of receiving, reviewing and responding to time- critical oil analysis results. FPA Inter-Link uses the Internet to trans- fer used-oil analysis results from Mobil's central mainframe computer to fleet superintendents around the world. The global electronic communica- tions link enables Mobil to rapidly disseminate the information faster and more conveniently than fax transmission. The Mobil Amos Maintenance System is a comprehensive comput- erized maintenance system for the marine industry. MAMS is the product of a strategic alliance between Mobil and SpecTec. PFA inter-Link allows Mobil's cus- tomers to create graphs, print reports and store past reports elec- tronically. It also enables the pro- gram user to export the analysis reports for transmission to vessels at sea, using existing e-mail capabili- ties.
