GLOBIC 8000 is a hydrolysing self-polishing
antifouling product that fits between the existing GLOBIC 6000 and GLOBIC 9000 antifouling systems. It incorporates Hempel’s nano acrylate technology which delivers a fine polishing control mechanism to bring the integral biocides to the surface at a stable rate ensuring a clean hull. GLOBIC 8000 can be used on all vessels at all
speeds, but its nano acrylate technology binder makes it particularly effective for slow-steaming operations because of its instant activation of polishing and biocide leaching, the company highlighted.

Bridge & communications Kongsberg launches
K-Sim Navigation Kongsberg Maritime has unveiled its latest generation ship’s bridge simulator, K-Sim Navigation, which will meet with the requirements for navigation training for merchant, offshore and naval vessels, the company has claimed. Designed for the future of advanced and integrated simulation training, K-Sim Navigation is based on the latest technology platform enabling more realistic training scenarios and enhanced user benefits for both instructors and students. K-Sim Navigation features an advanced physical
engine and hydrodynamic modelling, allowing vessels, objects and equipment to behave and interact as in real life. To enhance the realism further, a sophisticated new visual system is included, bringing vessels and objects in all possible weather conditions to life. K-Sim Navigation has been developed with the
user experience in mind. In addition to the realis- tic environment for students, instructors benefit from an award winning instructor system designed to facilitate ease of use. It features an intuitive and modern educational tool utilising a modified ECDIS
chart as a starting point with a drag & drop function for creating exercises. Te instructor system also includes automatic recording and an advanced assessment system for ensuring optimal training and feedback standards. K-Sim Navigation’s flexibility extends to
hardware, with a fully scalable range of options available – from a PC based desktop system, through to a full mission bridge simulator. The system, built on the same core technology platform as the market leading K-Sim Offshore simulator, can easily be integrated with other Kongsberg Maritime simulators (including crane, offshore, engine, cargo, ballast and DP) to enable a compre- hensive range of training scenarios.

Ancillary equipment Singapore MPA on
course with IBIA The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has accredited the International Bunker Industry Association(IBIA) new Mass Flow Meter training course. Te course, which is next being held 17-18 November in Singapore, provides in depth information about mass flow meters; how to install and use them and looks at legislative, calibration and accuracy issues. In April last year the MPA was the world’s first port
authority to introduce a mandatory mass flow meter system for its bunker suppliers. IBIA, chief executive, Peter Hall said: “Tis is
the latest in our range of professional training courses for the bunkering industry. Ultimately, the use of a mass flow meter will result in a smoother bunker transaction landscape with less commer- cial disputes, shorter delivery times and a simpler custody transfer process.” www.
