Seminar On Shipping Fraud Prevention Slated For New York June 26-27 The recent growth of shipping fraud has been almost staggering. Certainly the threat that such frauds pose to individual compa- nies—whether shippers, shipown- ers, brokers, freight forwarders, insurers, or bankers—is very real and worrying. In May last year the United Kingdom's Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers held in London the first seminar of fraud prevention, attracting wide European support and interest. On June 26-27 this year, at the Waldorf-Astoria Ho- tel in New York, the Institute will hold the second international sem- inar in cooperation with the As- sociation of Ship Brokers and Agents (USA) Inc. This seminar will study both the problem and the ways in which managements can best prevent their companies from being unwittingly involved in these financially damaging in- ternational swindles.

Rowe as general manager of the San Francisco Division of Todd Shipyards Corporation, upon his retirement on August 1, 1980. Carl R. Meurk, vice president- West Coast Operations of Todd Shipyards Corporation, stated Mr. Rowe had served the San Francisco Division in positions of ever - increasing responsibility with dedication and skill for 32 years, and the corporation will be fortunate to retain his services in a consulting capacity after his formal retirement. In addition to this organization change, Richard Grothen, pres- ently operations manager of the Seattle Division, will be trans- ferred to San Francisco as assist- ant general manager for admin- istration, a position that will com- plement the position of assistant general manager for production, held by James Arrol. Mr. Meurk further stated that Tracy Ball has been appointed general superintendent, replacing William Mitchell who is retiring, and that Dick Gerdes has been appointed assistant to the gen- eral manager for commercial busi- ness development. These organizational changes will place the San Francisco Di- vision in a more advantageous po- sition to be able to handle the expected increase in U.S. Navy repair and overhaul work, as well as increased commercial work, in the years to come.
