- #'e (A#)A*A +A,-MA#I. complies &it' t'e latest rules and
regulations of +O)A+ /04 and all leading classification societies.
- .onnecti%le to all (A#)A*A 4-cylinder steering gears allo& automatic
emergency operation &it' t&o independent mec'anical and 'ydraulical
systems.
- In case of pipe %urst or ot'er defects involving oil leaking, t'e leakage can
%e isolated and steering capa%ility is maintained &it' t&o cylinders and
one pump unit.
- #'e (A#)A*A +A,-MA#I. detects, isolates and s&itc'es off t'e
defective system automatically &it'in a fe& seconds. +teering gear
remains operational &it' t'e remaining system.
- #'e s'ip1s manoeuvra%ility is restored immediately and loss of 'ydraulic
fluid is kept to a minimum, due to t'e very s'ort time re2uired for
automatically detecting, isolating and s&itc'ing over.
- All (A#)A*A 4-cylinder steering gears 'ave still t'eir 'and operated stop
valves for t'e same purposes.
