Omnithruster Inc. has recently established
a Canadian manufacturing facility in Sarnia,
Ontario. The new Mark II Omnithruster se-
ries and Omnithruster ice lubrication systems
will be fabricated at that plant.
Omnithruster president Charles M. Aker
said: "The equipment is to be produced from
Canadian raw materials and with Canadian
labor. The only components to be furnished
from our plant in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., are
the control systems. These will be installed
during the final assembly and the complete
system will be tested prior to shipment from
the Sarnia facility."
Omnithruster manufactures a complete line
of hydrojet maneuvering, propulsion, and ice
management systems ranging from 50 to
3,000 horsepower in single units. Systems are
installed in ships worldwide, including tank-
ers operated by Shell Canada, Imperial Oil,
and Exxon; in barges operated by Chevron
Canada and A.B. McLean; in Gulf Canada ice-
breakers; and in geophysical vessels, fishing
boats, etc.
