Circle 212 on Reader Service Card Nine ISO 9001 Certified Gulf Coast Locations kits were delivered to aluminum spe- cialist Bayards, who supplied the hulls to Damen Shipyards. The delivery to Bayards was a complete package, con- taining all parts and profiles. The ferries are used for public transport in The Netherlands, and were built by Damen under license to NQEA from Australia. The newest project is a 112 ft.

MasterSHIP 2000 contains many improvements and a new module, Sur- face Tools, for the creation of devel- opable and double-curved surfaces. A large number of templates has been added to the Parametrics module and it is now even possible for customers to define their own templates. The Expand-02 module has been improved with a new algorithm that allows more precise and flexible expan- sion of double-curved surfaces on hulls and superstructures. The Parts Proces- sor now automatically and interactively closes part contours. Use of the renewed NC-Preprocessor allows faster determi- nation of the cutting order of the parts and the in-lead direction of the burner. MasterSHIP CAD/CAM software is used by shipyards, designers and engi- neering companies to turn the design of ships into production information. MasterSHIP operates in combination with AutoCAD and is the first ship- building software to support the new AutoCAD version, AutoCAD 2000. The project management team. Total service concept for shipyards Yachting Consult Engineering now offers a total service concept. Besides from the typical CAD/CAM work, all logistic handling can be obtained as an integral part of their services. This includes the purchase of the steel or alu- minum, cutting, shaping, bending and subsequent delivery to the yard. This "one stop shopping" is a very attractive option for yards, enabling them to meet the extremely short delivery times, which seems to be a common trend in shipbuilding lately. Yachting Consult Engineering is active in both shipbuilding and yacht- building markets. In addition to recent work for megayacht builders, several projects in the shipbuilding market have been realized, such as a kit for a 141 ft. (43 m) Crew Supply vessel (Stan Tender 4300) for Damen Shipyards; a kit for a 194 ft. (59 m) car ferry for a German yard; and 5 kits for a 98 ft. (30 m)-cata- maran ferry (River Runner 150).
