Unitor Exhibition Held In New York "A Day With Unitor," an exhibition ar- ranged by Unitor Ships Service, Inc., New York, was held at the Belmont Plaza Hotel in New York City on October 23 through Oc- tober 25. Shipowners and ship agents in New York were invited to the exhibition, which was very successful. Unitor Ships Service is a worldwide supply system for maintenance and safety on board. Unitor Ships Service, A/S, Oslo, Norway, was established in 1936 as a service organiza- tion with an aim to ensure smooth and effort- less supplies of welding gases in standard cylinders to the merchant fleets. The Unitor supply depot system was estab- lished because of difficulties frequently en- countered by vessels wishing to have their cylinders refilled with gases in foreign ports. Such refillings often proved impossible, due to lack of sufficient time, local regulations, in- adequate refilling facilities, etc. The effectiveness of the Unitor system rests upon the use of a standard approved type of cylinder for acetylene and oxygen, which are approved for use onJboard ships by main classi- fication societies such as Lloyd's Register of Shipping, England ; SBG, Germany ; Commis- sion Centrale de Securite, France, and Det norske Veritas, Norway, assuring maximum safety. The Unitor supply system is worldwide and comprises liaison offices in Piraeus and Yo- kohama, subsidiary companies in London, Liv- erpool, Bergen, Kristiansand, Goteborg, Ham- burg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, LeHavre, Mar- seilles, Port de Bouc, Lisbon, Singapore, Mon- treal, New York, Philadelphia, Houston, and Wilmington, Calif., and agents in more than 180 ports all over the world. Shown during the exhibition, left to right, are Egil Ruud, president, Unitor Ships Service, Inc., New York; Erling Foss, sales manager, Unitor Ships Service, A/S, Oslo, Norway, and Knud G. Johanessen, Moller Steamship Co., Inc., New York. Each Unitor office and depot has available acetylene and oxygen in standard cylinders of 40 liters capacity. The majority of the agents are also stocking electrodes, welding rods and main spare parts for the Unitor equipment. All Unitor branches effect deliveries of fluor- carbon refrigerants, air tools and safety and fire-fighting equipment. Unitor Ships Service in Oslo and London have performed pioneer work in arranging training courses in welding for ships' officers and crew, and can offer ships' officers and crew welding training courses on-board, run by a Unitor instructor during 'the vessel's voy- age. The number of Unitor Ships Service's custo- mers is rapidly growing and now lists more than 1,000 shipowners in several of the world's major shipping nations. Approximately 6,000 ships divided into two major groups, respec- tively 40 percent Scandinavian and 60 percent under other flags, are using the Unitor system.
