US Coast Guard Ecdis Contract04/11/2008 |
| Hatteland Display received an order for 290 Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) displays for installation on the US Coast Guard buoy tender fleet. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Command and Control Center located in Portsmouth (VA, USA) selected the company's JH19T14MMD (Maritime Multi Display), and procured the displays through a contract awarded to CHI Systems of Ft. Washington (PA, USA). |

"This is a significant order for us as it reflects our ability to meet the standards required by an organisation that is completely committed to security in everything it does," comments Brede Qvigstad, Director, Naval & Defence Division, Hatteland Display. "Orders from military and government departments are extremely important to us in their own right, but they also demonstrate to our civilian customers that we have the quality and ability to deliver for large and nationally important projects."
The contract was awarded following the issuing by the USCG of a competitive request for proposal seeking qualified sources for delivery of ECDIS monitors for its buoy tending fleet of 225' WLB and the 175' WLM vessels.
The navigation and ECDIS installations aboard the buoy tending fleet are substantial and require Type Approved ECDIS displays. The current Coast Guard platform uses five video display stations; one in a console positioned on the forward center of the bridge, two mounted to the overhead on the port and starboard bridge wings, one mounted in a console in the chartroom and one backup system mounted on the bulkhead in the chartroom.
