Ocean-World, Inc.
Forms Ocean Systems
Advisory Service Div.
Russell S. Delano Sr., president
of Ocean-World, Inc., Boston,
Mass., announces the formation of
a new division, Ocean Systems Ad-
visory Service. To be headquarter-
ed in Houston, Texas, the new di-
vision will be headed by AHan B.
Rose, former Commander of the
United States Coast Guard and
former Captain of the Port of
Houston. Commander Rose, a vice-
president of Ocean World, will
serve as general manager of na-
tional activities for the new divi-
sion.
Arthur (Spike) Taylor, also
former United States Coast Guard
Commander and former Captain of
the Port of Houston, will serve as
local manager of the Houston area.
In announcing the formation of
this new division, Mr. Delano said:
"In our 15 years of experience in
combating and controlling over
3,000 oil spills in major ports
throughout the country, we have
become increasingly aware of mod-
ern day needs of ports and harbors.
We feel that Ocean Systems Ad-
visory Service is designed to ful-
fill many of these needs.
"Ocean Systems Advisory Serv-
ice will act in an advisory capacity
on a national basis to help elimi-
nate the many existing problems
connected with port traffic. These
areas will include port planning and
management, traffic control, chem-
ical and gas vessel operations and
engineering, vessel and cargo sur-
veying, and chemical spill abate-
ment. In addition, the division will
act as a liaison with the multiplici-
ty of Government agencies con-
cerned with marine environment."
