STN Atlas Wins $4.5M
VTS Contract
STN Atlas Elektronik has been
awarded a $4.5 million contract by
the Polish National Coast &
Harbor Authority for the design
and installation of an advanced
VTS system for monitoring and
control of traffic in the Pomeranian
Bay region and its approaches.
Due for commissioning in
February 1999, the system will
comprise two interlinked main
control centers at the inland port
of Szczecin and at Swinoujscie on
the Baltic coast, serving traffic to
and from Denmark, Germany and
Sweden. Each is to be equipped
with a series of Atlas VTS work-
stations for automatic tracking of
all vessels, as well as support of
channel pilotage operations
between the two centers. The pur-
pose-designed units will also facili-
tate overlay of all radar-derived
targets on electronic charts.

The WEKA boxcoolers are installed in all
types of river and seagoing ships as well as in
stationary vessels, dredgers and pontoons.
Due to mounting water pollution hence the
increased wear of cooling sytems, a closed
circuit cooling system became necessary. The
solution was and still is the boxcooler.
The principle is based on the fact, that
warm water by its lower density rises, thus
causing a thermosiphon circulation.
