This is an opportunity for members (including engineers, operators, managers, and regulators) to exchange information regarding technology and management gaps and work toward solutions for today's, and tomorrow's, environmental challenges. For information, visit www.navalengineers.org/Events/MEET S2006 Alfa Laval Showcases PureVent in Rotterdam Alfa Laval showcased its PureVent at the recent Europort 2005 exhibition in Rotterdam, a system that is designed to be an environmentally sound solution to clean crankcase gas. Reducing emissions from ship fuel exhaust has been an environmental focus for the marine industry. Much less attention, however, has been given to the gas vented from the engine crankcase although it also represents an environmental concern. To address this, Alfa Laval together with Wärtsilä have developed PureVent, a compact air separator that effectively removes oil mist from crankcase gases with 99 percent efficiency. Circle 1 on Reader Service Card K-Line Technology The first Europort Maritime exhibi- tion in Rotterdam played host to the lat- est developments in shipboard integra- tion from Kongsberg Maritime. The new K-Line technology, officially launched earlier this year, consists of separate systems for Navigation (K- Bridge), Automation (K-Chief), Dynamic Positioning & Joystick (K- Pos), Prop and Thruster Control (K- Thrust), Tank Gauging (K-Gauge) and Safety (K-Safe). Each system can be installed as a standalone sub-system or as a greater whole ship-wide network based vessel management system. The system has been designed to provide fully redundant operation of a ship's major operating systems. If one area suffers downtime then the redun- dancy will provide operation as normal. The same graphical user interface (GUI) throughout the systems means that costs can be saved in operator training. Circle 2 on Reader Service Card ISPS Announcement Service The Royal Dirkzwager ISPS applica- tion connects WebInfo, WebAgent and a specially designed terminal gate appli- cation to provide an integrated visitors' registration system. Potential vessel visitors can announce themselves in the WebInfo application, which sends the request to the agent. After agent approval, the visitor's information is sent to the terminal gate application, where it interfaces with several access control systems. After the visitor's identity is verified, access is granted. The application is designed to simpli- fy ISPS port regulations and can inter- face with other applications or function as a solo system. Circle 3 on Reader Service Card PCL 600 Cutting Robot Line The Robotic Profile Cutting Line (PCL) is designed to cut bulb flats, angle bars, T-bars and flat bars. Together with standard macros that cover the majority of production demands, the macro editing software enables the user to define individual new shapes. The machine can be con- nected to several CAD systems and can generate different kinds of management information. Circle 4 on Reader Service Card ARC Reflags Two Ships For MSP Use American Roll-On Roll-Off Carrier (ARC) conducted a ship naming cer- emony to rename and reflag two Lloyd's Register-classed ships, enabling them to be used in the Maritime Security Program (MSP). The two ships are now named Integrity and Courage. Ed Waryas, Vice President of Marine Business for Lloyd's Register North America attended the ceremony, as the ships' classifi- cation society played an important role in the process of renaming and reflagging them."
