NAMS To Hold 21st Annual Meeting In New York City The National Association of Ma- rine Services, Inc., will hold its Twenty-First Annual Meeting at the Summit Hotel in New York City on May 13 and 14. The maritime service organization, which was incorporated in 1950 as the National Associated Marine Sup- pliers, changed the name and scope of the association two years ago to the National Association of Marine Services, still retaining their identifi- cation as NAMS. This was done, according to James C. Taylor, president of the associ- ation, mainly because commercial ves- sel suppliers do provide service to ship owners as well as supplies but also because the association operations include considerable legislation activi- ty and provides an information source of interest to such other marine serv- ice companies as repairers, shoreside contractors, towboat operators, ship cleaners, water taxi owners, etc. NAMS returns to New York for its Twenty-First after an absence of two years. Its Nineteenth Annual Meeting was held in New Orleans, La., and its twentieth anniversary was held in San Francisco, Calif. 13 PACECO Cranes For Six Foreign Ports Construction of container handling equipment for six seaports in both Europe and the Far East has been announced by PACECO, a division of Fruehauf Corporation, Alameda, Calif. The cranes are being built by PACECO licensees: Paceco Interna- tional Limited, London. England; Mitsui Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Tokyo, Japan; and Fruehauf, S.A., Madrid, Spain. The Port of Genoa, Italy, will have two new PACECO Low-Profile model Portainers, making a total of three for that port since 1968. All three cranes, for ship loading and un- loading, have a 40-metric-ton capacity. In Holland, the Port of Flushing will get a 41 MT Portainer, and four 35 LT Portainers will go to the Brit- ish Transport Docks Board, South- ampton, England, through Paceco In- ternational Limited, London. The first job for Fruehauf, S.A. in Ma- drid, is the construction of two PACECO Shipstainers, container handling cranes which are mounted aboard ships. PACECO's Far East licensee, Mit- sui Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., Ltd., is installing a Portainer with an articulating boom, to conform to height limitations, at the Port of Tokyo. In addition, they are building two 30 LT Transtainers for the Port of Osaka and three 30 LT Trans- tainers for the Port of Kobe. The Transtainers have a 77-foot span to handle six container rows, plus car- riers on a roadway, in the port termi- nal area. Dixie Machine Elects Steele And Pedersen Walter W. Steele, general man- ager of Dixie Machine Welding & Metal Works, New Orleans, La., was elected vice president at the March 26 meeting of the board of Idsco Investment Holding Corpor- ation. In announcing Mr. Steele's election, H.D. Hughes, president, said the vacancy fills a corporate post that has been open since Octo- ber 6, 1970. Mr. Steele's main duties will still be in connection with the operation of Dixie Ma- chine Welding & Metal Works, Ship Repair Division. He is a na- tive of Buffalo, N.Y. Since coming out of the service in World War II, Mr. Steele has been associated with ship repair firms for approxi- mately 25 years. At the same corporate meeting, Mr. Hughes announced that Capt. Lars H. Pedersen would be vice president in charge of foreign sales. Captain Pedersen has been associ- ated with the Dixie Machine Weld- ing & Metal Works firm since 1950. He speaks several languages flu- ently, and is held in high esteem in all shipping circles. Lars, as he is known by his friends, was born in Arendal, Norway, and worked him- self up from ordinary seaman to a master, sailing in the Foreign Tex- as Oil Tanker Fleet during the World War II years. He holds both Norwegian and U.S. master's licenses, all tonnage, all waters. TWO BIG DOCKS To cope with the increased demand for super-mammoth tankers, SASEBO is expanding its present No.4 shipbuild- ing dock to 380,000 dwt. capacity without hindering the progress of the 15th of the total of twenty-one 210,000 dwt. standard type tankers under construction. The huge ultra-modern No.3 repair dock of 400,000 dwt. in capacity is in full operation, day and night, to provide quick, reliable and efficient repair services. With these two super-large docks, located side by side, and with the modernized large scale production facilities, SASEBO's shipbuilding and repair efficiencies are tripled. The laying of the keel for 250,000 dwt. tanker is sched- uled to begin early in 1972 followed by 270,000 dwt. class. SASEBO is continuously moving ahead to maintain its po- sition as one of the leading shipbuilders in the world in this super-mammoth tanker era. nev Sasebo Heavy Industries Co., Lid. •• IB HEAD OFFICE: Tokyo, Japan Telex TK4245"SSKDOCK" Tokyo.
