Saab Receives Order To Supply TankRadars From Tampa Shipyard —Literature Available

Saab Marine Electronics' U.S. subsidiary, Saab Tank Control of Hoboken, N.J., has announced that Tampa Shipyard, Inc. has ordered five shipsets of level gauging equip- ment. The systems ordered are the latest development of level gauging equipment by Saab Marine Elec- tronics and marketed under the trade name TankRadar. Each system includes measure- ment of 14 cargo tanks and one slop tank. The level readings are to be displayed in the cargo control room and also on a portable readout unit which can be used anywhere on the ship. The processor unit is designed so that temperature and pressure measurement as well as weight and volume calculations can be added when desired by the user. This equipment will be installed on all five of the 30,000-dwt seven grade product tankers that Tampa Ship is constructing for Ocean Product Tankers, Inc. of Houston, Texas for ultimate charter to the Military Sealift Command.

It is, therefore, the one major shipping event for anyone with business interests in this key market. In October this year, Expoship Riomar returns to the Museum of Modern Art in the centre of the city. This is a move of enormous significance for it places the exhibition at the heart of Rio's business centre and only a short distance from the city's international and domestic airports. A high attendance is thus anticipated. As in previous years, a conference will be linked to the exhibition. The two day programme will aim to identify and examine the key issues affecting the Latin American sea transport industry today.
