The marine diesel engines deliv- ered from Augsburg on a river vessel were unloaded by yard cranes and then lifted into position so they could be taken over by the 600-ton crane inside the building dock. By means of this crane the four MAN B&W diesel engines were in- serted into the hull of the Oriana, where they will provide the vessel with a service speed of 24 knots.

Incentive is also the owner of Hagglunds Marine, the world leader in shipboard cargo cranes. As a result of this acquisition, MacGregor-Navire and Hagglunds Marine are merged. The combined organization will be known as the MacGregor Group. The new group will supply the following shipboard cargo handling products: cranes; hatch covers; Ro/Ro equipment; lash- ing equipment; elevators and their service. The products are marketed under the brand name of MacGregor. However, the long established names of Hagglunds and Conver will be included in the brand names of cranes and lashing equipment in the form of MacGregor-Hagglunds and MacGregor-Conver, respectively. Through the now 27 companies located in 23 major shipping and shipbuilding countries, the Group expands its local presence world- wide, thus enabling the organiza- tion to improve its service to its customers: the shipbuilders and ship- owners of the world. The service network consists of more than 50 wholly-owned service stations strategically located in ma- jor shipping centers offering 24-hour service around the world to a fleet of approximately 30,000 ships outfit- ted with MacGregor, Navire, Hagglunds and Conver products. Heading the new MacGregor- Navire Group as its president is Ulf Hedberg, formerly the president of December, 1993 19 Schuyler Awarded Sixth Tractor Tug Fendering Contract Schuyler Rubber Co., Inc. of Woodinville, Wash, has been awarded the contract to design and manufacture the complete fendering system for a 108-foot oil recovery tractor tug developed by Marco and currently being built in Taiwan for the Chinese Petroleum Corp. and the Republic of China.
