HYDROFOIL NIGHT OPERATIONS APPROVED

The Marine Department has given the go-ahead for a night hydrofoil

service to Macau subject to certain conditions, it was announced today.

This follows a series of night trials aboard the hydrofoil

M.V. Patane using a low level television system known as Vidar.

However, the approval is subject to certain mechanical modifications

being made to the Vidar installation and some minor improvements to the

bridge layout aboard the hydrofoil.

Officers operating such hydrofoils would also require special

training in the use of the Vidar coupled with radar as an anti-collision

device.
