SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS • COMMUNICATIONS operations/tracking transportation sys- tem, TBSS and general activity in com- puterizing operations. The CargoMax loading software pro- gram allows Reinauer to more efficient- ly and effectively plan barge loading arrangements of varying cargoes and destinations. CargoMax enables Rein- auer to calculate complex cargo arrangements while ensuring the ves- sel's strength, stability and trim are maintained within acceptable guide- lines. Because CargoMax shares the same data format as the salvage engi- neering software, HECSALV, Reinauer is also able to ensure significantly increased salvage engineering response time in the event of a salvage incident.

Circle 99 on Reader Service Card Kongsberg's FleetMaster To Enhance Maritime IT Kongsberg Norcontrol has unveiled a ship-to-shore information network called FleetMaster Information Man- agement System. FleetMaster gathers sensor data and calculates operations information from a vessel's machinery, cargo, navigation and administration systems and then organizes the data into an onboard database. Subscription of data from this data- base is controlled by shore-based super- visors who can define exactly which data can be transmitted when, according to their current needs. During the past few years, Kongsberg Norcontrol has been refining FleetMaster based on the critique and analysis of fleet operators, their decision-making strategies and their response to prototype versions of the product. Circle 199 on Reader Service Card MARINOR Concludes Contract With DSND MARINOR Shipping & Offshore Sys- tems AS, a leading supplier of marine software systems, recently signed a con- tract with DSND Offshore AS and DSND Subsea AS for implementation of the RASTwin maintenance systems onboard the company's vessels. The contract with the two DSND companies is a continuation of a pilot project initi- ated in June 1998 with the Dutch off- shore company Seateam. RASTwin was installed onboard the pilot vessel STM Atria. In the second half of 1998, Seateam merged with DSND and after a success- ful trial period with the RASTwin sys- tem, the merged company decided to extend the RASTwin project. The sys- tem will be installed onboard five of the fleet's 28 vessels. In addition to soft- ware installations, the contract includes staff training and consultancy services.
