Circle 22 on Reader Service Card Unicom Of Cyprus Chooses Autoload/LPS Autoship Systems Corp. announced that Unicom Management Services (Cyprus) Limited (UNICOM) has pur- chased Autoload/LPS, an integrated RoRo load planning system for Byelorussia, a 5,400-dwt Russian built RoRo ship. Autoload/LPS will form a key part of UNICOM's strategy to maintain a high level of compliance with ISM Code requirements. Onboard the Byelorussia, Autoload/LPS will be used to develop the ship's loading conditions throughout the vessel's voyage. An intuitive graphi- cal user interface will allow the Autoload/LPS program user to create a visual representation of the ship's cargo condition at each port of departure. A real-time interface with a type approved hydrostatic engine will permit an instan- taneous assessment of hydrostatic and longitudinal strength values. The ship loading conditions will be electronically transmitted to UNICOM's head office in Cyprus where ship safety will be moni- tored. As of July 1, 1998, the International Management Code for the Safe Opera- tion of Ships (ISM Code) became inter- national law for certain categories of vessels of over 500 gross tons. Other cargo vessels and mobile offshore drilling units of 500 gross tons and over must comply with the ISM Code by July 1, 2002. Autoload Now Rolls Royce Marine Standard Autoship Systems Corp. (ASC), and its Norwegian partner Coastdesign, (CDN) have jointly announced that Rolls-Royce Marine AS (formerly the Ulstein group of companies) has chosen Autoload as its standard delivery stabil- ity monitoring software. In cooperation with Norwegian yards, ship owners and ship crew, a tailored version of Autoload has been designed for the Ulstein designed supply and ser- vice vessels. Given the 3-D Ship model, Rolls Royce will no longer need to gen- erate tabular data required by their for- mer table-based loading computers. A fully automatic link between the Rolls-Royce Marine design database and that of Autoload will ensure accu- rate and effortless transfer of 3-D ship model information between the systems. The result will be time saved in the system design and classification approval processes.

Kelemen, senior scien- tist of EnSolve Biosystems, has been selected as an honoree for the 2000 American Chemical Society's Industrial Innovation Awards Program. Dr. Kelemen is a co-founder of EnSolve Biosystems and played an instrumental role in the development of the PetroLiminator, the first biomechan- ical oily water separator for the marine industry. The PetroLiminator is a patented sys- tem that uses a combination of mechan- ical separation and bioremediation to treat bilge water so that it can be safely discharged overboard in environmental- ly sensitive waterways. Introduced in early 2000, the PetroLiminator has been type approved by the U.S. Coast Guard, IMO and Canadian authorities to meet international clean-water standards. The system has successfully completed sea trials on a cargo ship in the Great Lakes. The American Chemical Society Industrial Innovation Awards are pre- sented annually to individuals whose creative innovations have contributed to the commercial success of their compa- ny and consequenty the good of the community. The award was presented to Dr. Kele- man at a ceremony on December 8, 2000, in New Orleans.
