Maritime Reporter, March 1973

<BODY> <div> The Glacier Metal Company announces that in a recent advertisement of the Glacier Herbert Stern- gear system an artist's impression of a container ship was featured instead of one of the vessels in which this system has so far been incorporated. The Company wishes to ensure that no misunderstand- ing should exist and is therefore making it clear that its sterngear system has so far only been in- stalled in vessels other than container ships. The system is of course equally applicable and bene- ficial in container ships, and this announcement does not invalidate the advertisement's description of the characteristics and advantages of the Glacier Herbert Sterngear system.

Amen Corporate Vice Pres. The board of directors of Combustion Engi- neering, Inc., Windsor, Conn., has elected Ro- bert A. Amen to the newly created post of cor- porate vice president, marketing and communi- cations. In his new post, Mr. Amen will be respon- sible to the chief executive for corporate-wide market research, marketing planning, corporate policies and procedures to "coordinate total marketing and communications efforts," and all marketing communications. "C-E has tripled its sales of steam generat- ing, petroleum production processing and oth- er energy equipment during the last decade, and annual sales are now in excess of $1.1 bil- lion," Arthur J. Santry Jr., president, said. It has become apparent that C-E needs "a more comprehensive and better coordinated approach to marketing" if it is to "compete favorably and remain a leader in our primary markets," Mr. Santry said. Mr. Amen was formerly staff vice president, communications, for C-E, a post he held since joining the company in 1969. Prior to that, he had been a vice president with D.F. King & Co., Inc., a Wall Street consulting firm, and was a marketing communications executive with General Time Corporation and U.S. In- dustries, Inc. A graduate of City University, Mr. Amen also took graduate studies at Columbia Univer- sity. He is a member of the New York Athletic Club and the Westchester Country Club. ^UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE •SINCE 1887..THE FINEST REPAIRS IN LESS TIME 3 Floating Dry Docks — Capacity to 5,560 Tons Diesel Lighter — Capacity 50 Tons Complete Machine, Electrical, Carpenter, Boiler, Shipfitting and Hull Departments Fast 24 Hour Service Voyage Repairs a Specialty Less Than 3 Miles From Seven Major Oil Terminals Steel Fabrication — Rudders and Stern Frames Pvcttv Antdod nnv nnru rnuntuv v DRY DOCK COMPANY FOOT OF COMMERCE ST.
