In 2004 more then 8,400 displays and computers were sold worldwide to the maritime market whereas Norway counted for 37 percent of JHD's total business, followed by Germany with 20 percent and the U.S. with 10 percent. The production offers 3,600 sq. m. of production ground with a capacity of more then 20,000 units per year. It is the motto "Knowledge - Quality - Economy " which stands for the mission of Hatteland Display to achieve the highest benefit for cus- tomers and users of approved maritime electronic equipment. Knowledge is based on almost 20 years experience and the close relation to customers and to key suppliers. Already 35 percent of the products are customized. This shows a good evidence of JHD's technical expertise. JHD's homepage for example, gives plenty of information, even CAD-drawings, which can be easily accessed by visitors. Quality is proven by the compliance to the Standard IEC945 (EN60945) test. It is mandatory for all of the JHD prod- ucts. ECDIS products are approved in accordance to the IEC61174 standard. For MIL applications the MIL-STD 461E, MIL-STD 462E and extended environmental tests are done. All prod- ucts are/will be approved by: ABS, BV, ClassNK, DNV, GL, LRS. Approximately 37,000 products pro- duced by JHD are in use worldwide. JHD has introduced the MMD - Maritime Multi Displays, the MIL - Military Displays and the MMC - Maritime Multi Computers - as well as the MSC — Maritime Stand-alone Computer — and the 19-in.-Rackmount Computers to the market. Displays and Panel-Computers can be offered from 10 in. to 23 in., the Computers as 19 in. rack-mount or small form-factor PCs. The products are suitable for a great number of different applications com- bined with many accessories, such as ECDIS and ARPA, remote control, brackets, touch screens, sun visors, dif- ferent processors and extension cards. Basically the products are available with either AC or DC power supply. JHD will introduce a new designed product range where design meets functionality. The product is based on proven electronic equipment combined with an unseen modularity, hence easier service han- dling. This product range will be straight forward designed to concentrate on what is necessary: the man-machine-inter- face. New display products will be soon shown also for either inside or outside- use. These will be regular powered dis- plays with the so-called bonding tech- nology. Circle 56 on Reader Service Card CSD to Exhibit RISE Sealing System At booth C 03-22F CSD Systems the fire-safe RISE sealing system for cable and pipe penetrations will be presented. Most recently the system was tested and approved as fire-safe sealing system for penetrations that carry both plastic ánd metal pipes through A60 decks and bulkheads. This solution offers freedom when designing of installing fire-safe pipe penetrations. The RISE system consists of firesafe protective sleeves that are split length- wise and are simply placed around the cables. Once the cables to be ducted have been packed in this way, the remaining space is filled up with empty filler sleeves. Lastly, the penetration is closed off with a 2 cm thick layer of fire resistant, water repellent and gas tight FIWA compound. In order to be able to add extra cables at a later date, it is only necessary to cut away the FIWA com- pound at both sides of the penetration. Then the extra cables can be passed through the exposed opening, after which the penetration is re-closed with FIWA compound. The RISE system has been subjected worldwide to extremely severe testing. For the fire tests, the harshest possible test conditions were chosen that also mirrored reality as closely as possible. In addition, the pen- etrations had to undergo heavy impact and vibration tests, thermal and dynam- ic cycle tests, and research was per- formed into ageing aspects, toxicity and fume tightness. Circle 60 on Reader Service Card LR, Napa Announce Software Contract Napa Ltd and Lloyd's Register signed a contract to extend the use of NAPA, Napa Ltd.'s ship modelling software package. Lloyd's Register has adopted the NAPA system for statutory compli- ance calculations for all classed ships throughout its global network of offices. Napa Ltd has also committed to help develop new NAPA 'Manager' applica- tions specifically for the use of Lloyd's Register. These new applications will be made available to other NAPA users, such as shipyards, making it easier for them to ensure that Lloyd's Register- classed ships are in compliance with statutory rules and regulations and reducing approval times. "Both companies look forward to the upcoming collaboration on the Manager development project. The development phase of the project is expected to last for two years. The first pilot versions will be delivered to Lloyd's Register in April 2005," said Matti Salo, President of Napa Ltd.
