The CPG provides up-to-the-minute cargo lists and data on Hempel’s Hempadur 15400, Hempador 15500 and Galvosil 15700 tank coatings. The database contains information on chemical resistance for more than 3,200 chemicals and cargoes. Its software can search for the complete resistance for all chemicals/cargoes, chemical resistance data for chemical synonyms, resistance for one specific cargo/chemical and resistance for a specific list of chemicals/cargoes (IMO ship type, MARPOL pollution category or cargo/chemical groups). According to Michael Aamodt, Hempel’s Marine Product Manager, “The new CPG is designed to make it easier and quicker to obtain information on chemical resistance. Simply select your search criteria and you’ll see a list containing formula, cargo name, UN Number, MARPOL category, ship type and resistance with notes. And because it’s online, you can use it anywhere in the world.” www.hempel.com 48 MARINE LOG MARCH 2008 www.marinelog.com http://www.international-marine.com http://www.carnival.com http://www.msccruises.com http://www.L-3Com.com http://www.aveva.com http://www.hempel.com http://www.marinelog.com
