Ancillary equipment Navis launches STCS 4000
Navis Engineering Oy has launched the STCS 4000, its latest multipurpose integrated steering and thruster control system. STCS4000, based on digital
technology, has
already been delivered to two AHTS hulls for the MMC 974 project at Grandweld Shipyard in Dubai under the supervision of Lloyd’s Register and to a pilot boat for the PI-22 project at Pella Shipyard in St Petersburg. Te system is designed to control the engine start
and stop functions, to indicate the status of drive and power supplies and provide visual and audio alarms on supply failures, oil levels, drive overloads and other emergency situations. STCS4000 offers an absolutely new approach to
information display in ‘lower level’ control systems and, with flexible configuration, simple network architecture, it is the most compact and functional of its type in the industry. All the system devices are interconnected by CAN. Based on the priority display of alarms and
information, the system makes it possible to fit more than 20 messages within the boundaries of the main panel screen, thereby making it multipurpose while keeping its dimensions to a minimum. STCS4000 has a colour display with a 130degs
viewing angle and anti-glare surface and uses a radical new type of combined indicator for the
required/true rudder position display.
The indicator incorporates a unique system of emergency transfer of pointers to an unseen dial area, in case acceptance limits are exceeded or indicator power failure occurs.

Navigation Transas adds Ukrainian
chart folios Transas’ TX-97 non-official chart collection now includes Ukrainian chart folios. The agreement was signed between Transas Marine Ltd and the State Hydrographic Service of Ukraine earlier this year allowing Transas to use official ENCs and Inland ENCs to create TX-97 folios. New charts will be available for the users of
Transas ECDIS and ECS. The uniqueness of this project is that it is the first time when Inland ENCs were used to produce TX-97 folios. State Hydrographic Service of Ukraine
provided 158 Inland ENCs and 114 ENC’s covering territorial waters of Ukraine in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. The TX-97 folios cover the Black Sea, the Danube River (Ukrainian territory), and Dnieper River and provide the possibility to discover the coastal and inland waters. Ukrainian chart folios are also available through iSailor application for iPhone and iPad users.
