Marine Ventures Ltd. Formed In London By R.P. Holubowicz The formation of Marine Ven- tures Ltd., with offices in central London, was announced by its chairman and managing director R.P. Holubowicz. Marine Ventures Limited is a technology - transference company geared to searching out and obtain- ing rights to new technology and products on behalf of client com- panies interested in diversification or product-line expansion. The company will also promote and sell advanced technology cargo - han- dling concepts for dry bulkships— centering mainly on self-discharg- ing systems—as well as developing new markets and applications for maritime products and services on behalf of clients. As an example of these activities, Marine Ventures Limited is cur- rently engaged in developing the market potential for the well- known Rivenaes Motor Cleaning System (RMCS). This patented system is marketed by the Inter- national MacGregor Organisation to the marine industry worldwide where it shows continued success, having to date been adopted for well over 200 diesel-engined vessels. Having proved the effectiveness of RMCS in this field, Marine Ven- tures is now actively engaged in developing and introducing RMCS to other areas where fouling of in- ternal combustion engines proves costly to the operator. Uniroyal Fendering Systems, designed by HUGHES, provide the ideal way to protect tugs, barges, vessels and piers. Made for heavy duty, they meet the most exacting demands of rugged tow- ing, barge, railroad and transport work as well as delicate han- dling of nuclear submarines. Because they are several times more durable than rope and most other types of fenders, are resistant to high friction and water absorption and provide the highest degree of shock absorption, Uniroyal Fendering Systems are by far your best buy. For information on rubber fenders for all types of vessels and piers contact HUGHES BROS.,INC. 17 Battery Place, New York, N.Y. 10004 • Tel.

Holubowicz With respect to new products, Marine Ventures Limited is at this time conducting a search on behalf of a client company for potential European licensees for a unique and patented U.S.-developed pollu- tion-control unit for shipboard sanitary waste. Known as the Mar- land Marine Sanitation System (Marland MSS), it is an eco- nomically proven chemical / me- chanical system that uses a modu- lar approach in providing any de- gree of treatment in order to meet the differing national regulations governing effluent discharge. The reason for choosing England as the base of operation, Mr. Holu- bowicz, an American citizen, said, was England's incomparable posi- tion as the center of the world's marine transportation business and the opportunity this afforded the new company to perform a two- way "bridging" operation for prod- ucts and technology between Eu- rope and the United States. Until June 1973, Mr. Holubowicz was chairman and chief executive officer of the International Mac- Gregor Organisation hatch covers and other cargo access equipment. Prior to that, he served as vice president of Litton Industries Ma- rine Group in New York. Mr. Ho- lubowicz has also held executive positions with Grace Line in New York and The Port of New York Authority. He is also a U.S. iCoas'c Guard licensed master mariner. Ronald Cowan Named APL Vice President Ronald J. Cowan has been named to the new position of vice presi- dent-controller for American Presi- dent Lines. Norman Scott, president of APL, made the announcement following the decision of Howard F. Lucas, vice president-finance, to resign from the company. Mr. Scott said Mr. Cowan "will be responsible for all APL and American Mail Line financial func- tions except those specifically assigned to the office of treasurer." Mr. Cowan was formerly vice president/finance for AML, which was recently merged into APL. Mr. Cowan had been with AML for more than 20 years, joining the company in 1952 as a junior ac- countant, and had been appointed to the vice president position July 1, 1973.
