Korean vessel with RP 480i Remote Panel
The new RP 480i Remote Panel was recently commissioned in a high-speed vessel set for South Korea, monitoring and controlling four drivelines with amazing power output. The commissioning took place at the Incat shipyard in Tasmania, Hobart, an island south of Melbourne in Australia.

Saving a damsel in distress
Christian Radich is a landmark in Oslo when in harbour, and not many can measure themselves against her, neither in size, beauty nor qualities. But now she needed a replacement part, and we were happy to be able to help this damsel in distress. Close to 40 years ago, an over-speed safety relay from Auto-Maskin was installed in this great sailing ship. It has been performing faithfully through all these decades, but at last, it gave in and Auto-Maskin was contacted for a replacement. The SDU 404 Safety Unit was a perfect choice and was installed on short notice so that the great ship could continue its service as a training ship for aspiring sailors.

Protecting a movie star

It has a Marine Watch LT-ONE Alarm Panel installed to alert the crew of problems that may develop into a critical situation. You can see D/S Hestmanden in a very important role in Norways most expensive movie production to date, “Krigsseileren” (“War Sailor”), a drama about the sailors of the Norwegian merchant fleet during World War II.
