Joseph R. Burgess To Head Central Pacific Shipping Agency Joseph R. Burgess has been named presi- dent of Central Pacific Shipping Agency, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Marine & Supply Co., Ltd., which has opened new offices at 126 Queen Street in downtown Honolulu. The announcement by Steven Loui, exec- utive vice president of the parent company, indicated that both Mr. Burgess's appoint- ment and the move to new and larger quar- ters were first steps in a program of more aggressive marketing planned for the 15- year-old shipping agency. Following Air Force service in Hawaii, Mr. Burgess began his career in the mari- time industry with Pacific Marine & Supply in 1966. For the past eight years, he has been with Fred L. Waldron, Ltd., shipping agency division, five years as its manager. He is a graduate of Honolulu Business Col- lege and the Hawaii Employers Council- Management/Supervisory courses with a degree in management, as well as data proc- essing and business accounting. Central Pacific Shipping Agency, accord- ing to Mr. Burgess, offers "fast, comprehen- sive, and competent turnaround services for any ship coming to Hawaii, with full in- house support from one or more of the Pacific Marine & Supply family of qualified and experienced subsidiaries." Among the present companies represented by Central Pacific Shipping Agency in Ha- waii are China Union Lines, Mobil Shipping & Transportation Company, National Bulk Carriers, Taiwan Maritime Transportation Co., Great Success Shipping Co., and Deep Sea Ventures, Inc. LIVING QUARTERS FOR 600—Gotaverken Cityvarvet repair yard in Goteborg, Sweden, has signed a preliminary contract for the construction of a "Flotel Rig," a platform with living quarters for 600 people.

The platform, to be delivered in July 1978, is a modified Aker H3 type. Its living quarters will consist of Container Safe's own modules, built by the Gotaverken Group.
