Seaward, Inc. Promotes Michael K. Kutzleb Seaward, Inc., has announced the promotion of Michael K. Kutz- leb to manager, Self-contained Tanker Off-loading Pumping Sys- tems (STOPS). STOPS is a spe- cially designed submersible pump system for tanker offloading and salvage pumping. Mr. Kutzleb is a graduate of the University of Virginia, ma- joring in economics and business law, with secondary studies in physical sciences and computer programming. He joined Seaward, Inc. on a full-time basis in March 1975, after serving as a techni- cian/operator on a consulting ba- sis for three years. Since joining Seaward, he has completed the U.S. Navy's Ship Salvage Opera- tions Course for Engineering Duty Officers, and is qualified in U.S. Navy air and scuba diving equip- ment. Mr. Kutzleb has participated in a variety of offshore search and recovery tasks for both the U.S. Navy and commercial interests. His pumping experience includes cargo reclamation from the S/T Sansinena at Long Beach, Calif., in 1976. In addition, he has devel- oped several computer programs for Seaward's use in the search and recovery field. Seaward, Inc., located at 6269 Leesburg Pike in Falls Church, Va., now has four STOPS sys- tems for deployment in the event of emergency pumping require- ments. Each STOPS is an inde- pendent offloading system capa- ble of pumping 1,600 bbl/hr. (200 tons per hour). STOPS is pack- aged for land, sea or air transport to the site of a disabled tanker. On scene, STOPS can be in serv- ice within two to three hours. 46,000 SAILINGS ON TIME! Seaward's experience in tanker offloading is worldwide. STOPS has directly contributed to the salvage of the Showa Maru, a 238,000-dwt VLCC in Singapore, and the Seaspeed Dora, a large ro/ro ship in Saudi Arabia. Ex- perience on these and other major pumping operations has shown the versatility and efficiency of STOPS in rapid response emer- gencies. Seaward offers this pump- ing service around the clock on a worldwide basis. Michael K. Kutzleb STOPS, which are also manu- factured by Seaward, Inc., are in service with the Canadian Coast Guard, Alyeska Pipeline Compa- ny, and other major salvage com- panies in Europe and Asia, in- cluding SELCO Salvage.

THAT'S RELIABILITY! In their first 14 months, Vancouver's two new 1,600 h.p. 400 passenger Sea Bus cross-harbour ferries have made over 46,000 sailings across the two mile stretch. Only nine sailings were late, none more than five minutes, NONE due to propulsion problems. Maritime Industries MARINER 360° steerable propeller units power these vessels. Careful and heavy duty design, features like straddle-mounted gears, and quality production have resulted in MARINER 360c units gaining a significant reputation for ruggedness, reliability and long life — invaluable assets for any vessel, not just commuter ferries. Maritime Industries produces through-hull and deckmounted units presently up to 1,200 h.p. for ferries, barges, dredges and other vessels. MARINER units have been the owner's choice around the world — for the U.S. Navy, throughout North America, in the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia. ^SS^anner STEERABLE PROPULSION reason to put our equipment to work for you. iiGnng<.niinoii6os2sUA».
