Ifremer Sets ROV Depth Record The French National Institute for Mar- itime Research (Ifremer) reportedly set a world's record with its Victor 6000 ROV remotely operated undersea vehicle recently, covering almost seven miles of ocean floor in a single dive at depths over 16,000 ft., or more than three miles below the ocean's surface. The dive was achieved during a 45-day cruise aboard Ifremer's research vessel, Atalante, off the coast of Zaire. West Africa. The dive was carried out in partnership with TotalFinaElf as part of the Zaiango pro- gram, the exploration of this immense submarine valley that extends for more than 600 miles. CWWS Delivers 200 Separators To Tidewater Tidewater Marine L.L.C. has put new muscle behind its commitment to pro- tecting the environment with a decision to extend a program of bilge water treat- ment to virtually its entire fleet. Heli- Sep Oily Water Separators manufac- tured by Coffin World Water Systems LLC (CWWS) are helping the company accomplish its goal. Heli-Sep units are already used on the larger vessels in Tidewater's fleet that are subject to the 15 ppm oil discharge limit mandated by IMO MEPC. 60(33). In addition, the company has now acted to install oily water separators onboard even its smaller workboats. which are legally exempt from that regulation. The value of the total purchase agree- ment is in excess of $500,000. Lee Engineering of New Orleans is the agent for CWWS in this transaction. E. J. Hebert. vice president of Engi- neering for Tidewater Marine, said. "We believe it is important for Tidewater to set an example for proactive environ- mental initiatives, instead of waiting for broader regulation." Heli-Sep oily water separators are equipped with a self-cleaning polishing pack and a permanent coalescing matrix that eliminates the need to replace fil- ters. Each unit is shipped pre-piped and pre-wired to simplify installation. With more than 6,000 units in service world- wide. Heli-Sep design has proven per- formance in meeting global discharge standards reliably and cost-effectively. CWWS offers a series of models with capacities ranging from 0.5 to 10 cu. m./hr. (2.2 to 44 gpm), which can accommodate the full range of ship- board needs. Circle 197 on Reader Service Card ANCHOR LARGEST INVENTORY OF NEW & USED IN THE U.S.A.
