CANADIAN MARITIME (Continued from page 56) Ottawa-based engineering and marine equipment company EMAR Services has structured a comprehensive web page (www.emar.achilles.net) including a detailed description of the equipment and services it offers. A representative of several equipment manufacturers, some of EMAR's recent projects (as described on the site) entail its sale of azimuth thrusters to the Irving Group and oily separators for offshore plat- forms under construction by Halter Marine. EMAR has been at the fore- front in providing government depart- ments, and all major shipyards through- out Canada with its products and ser- vices since 1993. Seaway Introduces New Computerized Vessel Tracking It's a giant step into the 21st Century for the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Installed at the St. Lambert, St. Catherine and Massena control centers, the system is able to monitor and sched- ule vessel traffic on both sides of the border. Via transponders placed aboard the ship as it enters the Seaway, the sys- tem provides controllers with vital information such as the vessel's inbound position, course and destination. BC Ferries Finishes Queen of Cowichan Investigation Victoria-based BC Ferries has com- pleted a further analyzation of an inci- dent occurring on April 3 that involved its vessel, Queen of Cowichan. Unusu- ally strong winds caused the ship to break free from its mooring lines at Departure Bay, drifting onto an adjacent dock. Moored at the outside terminal berth, the Queen twisted free of the dock, sustaining damage to its berth. No harm was done to the vessel, but the adjacent dock succumbed to some minor damage as a result of the incident. BC Ferries plan to initiate precaution- ary methods including intensification of mooring procedures during stormy weather and more advanced strict test- ing of the mooring lines' strength. Global Carrier Relocates To Deltaport Based in Taiwan, global carrier Ever- green Marine Corporation has decid- ed to move its operations from its cur- rent location, the Port of Vancouver — to Deltaport. Equipped with four post- Panamax cranes, Deltaport has on-dock capability for two 7,000 ft. (2,130 m) trains shipside, thanks to its adjacent 35- acre rail yard. With four sets of tracks, the yard boasts as Vancouver's largest. Service upgrades include, fewer conges- tion delays, greater equipment control and improved container tracking func- tionality for cargo inbound to and out- bound from the cities of Ontario, Que- bec, Alberta, Manitoba and the Mar- itime provinces.
