Ancillary equipment Quattrojet


UK-based ESAB has introduced its latest in cutting systems’ the Quattrojet oxy-fuel flame cutting system that ESAB has said will give the welder enhanced levels of productivity and performance. Te Quattrojet is available for use with propane


and natural gas and is capable of cutting metals from 3 - 300mm thick, Quattrojet incorporates a number of features including integrated height sensor and flame monitor, integrated ignition system and a quick change cutting nozzle. Together these features are a further step towards full cutting automation as well as ensuring a safer cutting environment. Quattrojet requires no separate height sensor


to ensure the correct distance between the cutting nozzle and the surface of the metal and the design means that there are no unnecessary components around the cutting torch and nozzle. Te result is much lower maintenance and spare parts are needed. Te flame monitoring feature ensures that the


Quattrojet torch recognises every break in the cutting operation, including possible malfunctions on the cutting tool or faults in the material. Tis prevents cutting errors as well as uncontrolled leakages and losses of cutting gas which could otherwise result in a fire. Te fully integrated automatic internal ignition


system means that a conventional external ignition device is unnecessary and results in a compact design for the torch unit. Te quick change of nozzles can be carried out


without tools, resulting in far shorter set up times and no accidental change in the position of the torch. Quattrojet, with its slim and compact design is


ESAB’s latest welding solution Quattrojet.


consistently geared towards smooth operation and high performance oxy-fuel cutting. For multi - torch operation, it also allows smaller spaces between the individual torches than conventional models.

Bridge systems Transas’ simulation


experience Transas Marine has been awarded the contract for two simulation systems that will be delivered and installed onboard two ships operated and owned by shipping company Intership Navigation Co. Ltd. (ISN). Te “K Class” Capesize Bulk Carriers Lancelot


and Percival with a capacity of 178.000dwt each are currently being built at New Times Shipyard in Jing Jiang, China. Te Transas scope of supply comprises the soſtware for an Engine Room Simulator (ERS 4000) and the soſtware plus dedicated hardware for a Navi-Trainer Professional 5000 ship handling simulator. Te training systems onboard real ships will enable


underway training connected with nautical / marine engineering work in the mariners’ professional environment. Lancelot will be used as a platform for nautical


training onboard the vessel. Besides the real wheelhouse there will be a dedicated room one deck below the bridge which, will be equipped with a Transas NTPro 5000 ship handling simulator and is intended for training officer cadets. Tis ‘secondary’ bridge comprises the instructor station and one own ship bridge in a dedicated manoeuvring console. Percival will be used as a platform for marine


engineering training and is equipped with a Transas Engine Room Simulator (ERS 4000) with one instructor station and six interconnected trainee workplaces. Two different vessels from the ERS 4000 ship model library are licensed in the training facility. Te classroom will also be integrated into the ship’s deck house, the standard PC hardware will be supplied by the contractor.
