itself or in conjunction with Iridium voice services, this option allows paging customers to receive messages from anywhere throughout the world via a 4 oz. pager which can easily be clipped to one's belt. Iridium will soon have a new supplier as well. Stratos and Hughes Global Services recently formed an agreement making the latter a supplier of Iridium services by way of a U.S. government contract. HGS will deliver the full selection of Iridium services and related products through its General Services Administration contract. In the area of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, Stork Canada leads the way with its recent supply and installation for the staterooms of B.C. Ferries Pacificat. The fast ferry, in con- junction with its project managers — Catamaran Ferries International, have a second ship in the works, as well as a third on the way the end of this year. Stork's HVAC package consists of 37 individual heat pumps grouped into 11 control zones with outdoor air ducted to each indoor cassette. Exhaust ventila- tion from the spaces is provided via a group of galley and washroom exhaust systems. No stranger to the highly spe- cific fast ferry design, Stork has there- fore modeled its criteria with this type of vessel in mind, mainly: climate com- fort and control level, equipment dimen- sions, and reliability and weight of the installation. Located in Vancouver, the Stork plant is also equipped for produc- tion of refrigeration packages up to 50 tons, as well as the selection and supply of all HVAC and refrigeration equip- ment necessary to complete the system's implementation. Another Vancouver company, Off- shore Systems, was granted orders from Marinette Marine Corporation Shipyard for ECPINS® systems for U.S. Coast Guard Sea Going Buoy Tenders. The contract also includes an option for nine more systems through 2003. Offshore Systems International, the company's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary was also chosen by the USCG (and Bollinger Ship- yards) to provide the Yokogawas Electromag- netic Speed Log from the USCG Coastal Patrol Boat Program. The two contracts awarded to Offshore and its Fife, Wash-based subsidiary are estimated at a value of $1 mil- lion, with the open possibility for new orders in the future as per the same options.
