MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL (A 3 0 0 ft Team tec Launches Next-Generation Incinerators Teamtec AS has intro- duced PLC controls on its new-generation shipboard incinerators, reportedly allowing for improved per- formance and fuel economy, as well as lower emissions. Teamtec incinerators are designed for destruction of a variety of shipboard wastes, including sludge oil, plastics and general garbage and trash. The incinerators are type- approved and certified in compliance with IMO MEPC.59 (33), as well as with U.S. Coast Guard requirements and U.S. Federal regulations. Teamtec incinerators are available as containerized or skid-mounted units. In addition, Teamtec has developed the A-60 sides-U cuttle in response to the recent amendment to SOLAS Annex 7, deeming mandatory the installation of A-60-certified windows and sidescuttles in the superstructure of all tankers keel-laid after July 1, 1998.

The purpose of the simu- lator analysis is to assist the Corps' Waterways Experiment Station (WES) in fine-tuning and evaluat- ing new channel designs which are intended to alleviate navigational difficulties at Freeport Wiggles, a section of the GIWW, as well as in the High Island Bridge area, also a section of the GIWW. MSI will prepare visual, radar, depth, bank and current computer models of the two areas as they presently exist and as they will be with the new channel designs. Hydrodynamic response models of various configurations of push tows will also be prepared. Simulation tests will be conducted at MSI's Newport, R.I., facility which houses four interactive visual simulators. Two of the simulators are set up as river towboat wheelhouses, each featuring control consoles, two sets of steering and flanking rudder con- trols, twin throttles, river radars, VHF radios and other instrumenta- tion and gauges found on a river towboat. These simulators have been refined over the past three years while being used to train SeaRiver Maritime's Gulf and Inland Division, as well as other tug-barge operators. MSI will work with the WES to verify and, if appropriate, help improve channel designs. Using six experienced river pilots, approxi- mately two weeks of real time sim- ulator runs will be conducted at the Newport facility For more information on MarineSafety International Circle 48 on Reader Service Card November, 1997 On/Off \ Safe temperature preset rese B O Anti-scald shower with automatic shutdown Breakthrough Safe Shower technology • Thermostatic & Pressure Balanced • Fights danger of Legionella & bacteria without chemicals • Water conserving • High quality Swedish engineering • Externally mounted for easy installation and service a __„ JUFIKIMattsson Scanmix Corporation "f Massesr-—— 230 Bartlett St. Lewiston, ME 04240 (207) 782-1885 - 207-782-1914 - kreid@somtel.com Circle 296 on Reader Service Card ARCO Pollution Control CELEBRATES 25 YEARS Serving our customers' FAST RESPONSE OIL SPILL NEEDS WORLDWIDE!
