solids (lowering VOC) from a hydrolsing material and the economics demanded today in terms of fuel savings is indicating fuel savings beyond silyl of the order of 3-5% largely due to the ultra smooth surface it achieves from its unique self leveling characteristics and ability to minimise the orange peel effect and overspray droplets. Seaflo Neo has been extensively tested and
benchmarked against Chugoku’s portfolio of antifoulings and the CMP Bioclean low surface energy systems on the double cyclinder friction resistance equipment. Tis equipment was designed by the Tokyo University of Science with the National Maritime Research Institute and CMP. It is able to look at torque and coefficients of friction at speed normal to ships operation. Hence a practical approach to benchmarking and performance prediction and evaluation. Te results abtained for Seaflo Neo have shown
significant advances over conventional as well as high performance antifoulings and has matched the low surface energy CMP Bioclean system. Seaflo Neo is applied by the usual airless spray
conventional methods used in today’s drydocks worldwide, meets new building “block squeeze” norms and provides excellent static fouling performance.Further, testing has identified Seaflo Neo to more than fit the bill for 90 months dockings on many vessel types. Te SeaGrandPrix range of products has recently
been further enhanced by the introduction of SeaGrandPrix 1000 L, which is fully hydrolyzing, undiluted. SeaGrandPrix L benefits from being higher in
volume solids, economical in the thickness required for in-service periods, uses high quality raw materials.

Ancillary equipment McMurdo shines a
light McMurdo has announced the launch of its Smartfind S10 Automatic Identification System (AIS) beacon. This will be the first time that the commercial market has seen this personal safety device, which incorporates both AIS and GPS technology. When manually activated, the Smartfind S10 uses
AIS and GPS technology to give precise location information to aid the recovery of persons in difficulty at sea. It is designed to be carried by divers, boat crews, or anyone who spends time on the water for work or leisure purposes. Te beacon is waterproof, buoyant and has the ability to transmit both AIS and GPS data to all AIS

receiver-equipped vessels and land based VTS (Vessel Traffic Services) stations within a four mile radius. Te Smartfind S10 AIS Beacon features an inbuilt high precision GPS receiver, and transmits target survivor information, including structured alert messages, GPS position information, and a serialised identity number. Bearing, range and location information are accurately transmitted and displayed on the AIS receiver or plotter screen, giving potential rescuers all the information they require to carry out the swiſt retrieval of an individual. The Smartfind S10 AIS Beacon will
transmit
continuously for a minimum of 24 hours, regularly update position information, and has excellent longevity thanks to its five year battery storage life. Waterproof to 60m it also features a flashing LED light to assist with visual fixing and night-time location; measuring 199 x 51mm and weighing186g. Te beacon is easy to activate, with a simple two-stage activation function. Te Smartfind S10 AIS Beacon will be available from August 2011.
