The following is a press release from Uni-Safe Electronics:
New Bridge Watch Alarm System – BW-800
Our new Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System BW-800 is under development and will be available on the market in summer 2009. The purpose of the bridge watch alarm system is to ensure the continuous monitoring of the bridge operator’s fitness during “one man bridge” operations. The bridge watch alarm is produced in accordance with international and Danish laws for “one man bridge” operation, e.g. IMO resolution A830. The product is currently being tested for IMO approval.
New IMO Requirements
New regulations from IMO’s Maritime Safety Committee (MSC) will require carriage of a Bridge Navigational Watch Alarm System (BNWAS) complying with IMO performance standards. For existing ships, the equipment should be installed in connection with the first survey after the following deadlines:

Success in Denmark with Bridge Watch Alarm System BW-700
In 2004, the Danish company Uni-Safe Electronics A/S introduced a unique bridge watch alarm system called BW-700 and with more than 600 units sold, it certainly has been a great success in Denmark. The idea of developing the BW-700 system was to make it small and easy to install, advanced, yet easy to operate and comfortable for the user in everyday life.
Next Salinometer Generation in 4th Quarter 2009
We aim to launch a new Salinometer in the 4th quarter of 2009. With the new Salinometer generation it will be it possible to increase the length of the cable between the Salinometer and the electrode unit up to 100 meters. The idea is to transfer some of the electronic components from the Salinometer into the electrode unit. Furthermore, both the electrode and the cable will be less sensitive to external elements such as transients ect.
