The Ultimate Prime Concrete Pile Cutter
Prime Marine Services, Inc. introduced its cold cut technology accomplishments, above and below water. The Prime Pile cutter offers an environmentally friendly tool promoting safety and production for platform demolition. The Prime Pile Cutter was used after the hurricanes to cut 26-in. platform legs using the ROV hydraulics for Chevron in over 2100 feet of water, not to mention the many other successful performances on land, offshore and in shallow waters. The Prime Pile cutter is by far the forerunner in hydraulic shearing, the most productive in offshore platforms and pipeline decommissioning and the most economical cutter on the market today, in both the oil and construction industries.

Hatteland to Unveil New Displays
Hatteland Display will unveil a redesigned range of displays for the commercial marine market during Nor-Shipping 2007 in Oslo, Norway. Hatteland Display is opening a special NorShipping showroom in Oslo old town, which will feature the new Series 1 displays and yet to be announced Hatteland Display products. The new displays are an evolution of the marine industry standard Series 1 family and are an exact replacement for existing Series 1 displays, but with even greater flexibility and functionality and at a lower price point. The new Series 1 Maritime Multi Display (MMD) models now use fewer modules and cable connections, increasing reliability and reducing component costs. A major addition to the range is the fact that Series 1 MMDs now come with both AC and DC power built in, ensuring that they are compatible with all power systems on all vessels. The system will automatically switch to whatever power is connected, making it highly flexible for shipbuilders and system integrators alike. A new 160 pin I/O connector allows the connection of many common signal types using just one cable connection. All known signal types of Hatteland's MMD models can now be accessed through this single connector, such as Composite Video Input, S-VHS Video Input and Serial Communication. Hatteland can now offer more signal input/outputs upon request for customized solutions. Hatteland Display has also integrated an Embedded Video Controller X-tended, enabling users to utilize more signals than before. Other connections include RGB out, RGB in, IEC outlet, 2 x COM ports and USB. For more information, Email goetz.vogelmann@hatteland.com
Pole Star Space Applications launched Marine Asset Tracker (MAT), which is designed to improve the operating efficiency of tug and barge, offshore supply, coastal and other workboat operations. MAT enables operators of powered and unpowered marine assets to monitor and manage their fleets from their desktop. The MAT system works in conjunction with dedicated transceiver units on the operator's fleet. There are two hardware options: a MAT1 unit, for assets with their own power supply, is a small GPS enabled satellite transceiver that simply plugs in to the ship's 24V power circuit; a MAT2 unit is designed for unpowered vessels and incorporates a rechargeable battery pack. In normal use the MAT2 unit will last 7 days between recharges. For voyages longer than seven days extra battery packs and/or solar panels can be linked to a MAT2 unit. The MAT system incorporates much of the functionality of Pole Star's well-tried and tested Purplefinder product, originally designed for the tracking of deep sea vessels. The user can set an automatic position reporting frequency - from once a day to every ten minutes; can poll a vessel to receive an immediate position report in real time and display position on sophisticated C-Map electronic charts with zoom and pan functionality. Forecast weather data, together with storm, cyclone and hurricane information is available to view as a geographical overlay on the charts. A key feature of the new product is the ability to set your own "geo-zones" and receive automatic notifications by SMS or email if
