Moore McCormack Completes Sale Of Cargo Liners Moore McCormack Resources, Inc. of Stamford, Conn., an- nounced recently that it has closed the previously announced sale of its cargo liner subsidiary, Moore McCormack Lines, Incor- porated, to McLean Securities, Inc., the parent company of United States Lines, Inc. At the closing, Moore McCor- mack Resources received $30 mil- lion in cash and $30 million par value of cumulative preferred stock of McLean, having a reg- ular dividend rate of 11 percent per annum and to be redeemed over a five year period. In addi- tion, the sale also reduced Re- sources' long-term debt by ap- proximately $50 million. As pre- viously indicated, Resources ex- pects to recognize a profit on the transaction in its first quarter 1983 results. James R. Barker, chairman and chief executive officer of Moore McCormack Resources, commented: "The sale of Lines, our original business, is a very significant step. Conversion of Lines to a more highly container- ized, intermodal operation, with broader trade routes and market- ing network, has become increas- ingly necessary to maintain its efficiency and profitability. We feel that the sale to the parent of United States Lines, a sub- stantial worldwide carrier, is the most appropriate way for Lines to continue its growth and prog- ress." $5.5-Million Sub Planning Contract Awarded To Electric Boat Shipyard General Dynamics Corporation, Electric Boat Division, Groton, Conn., has been awarded a $5,- 586,261 cost-plus-fixed-fee con- tract for providing planning yard support for the deployment/oper- ational phase of Ohio-class sub- marine life cycle program. The Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C., is the con- tracting activity (N00024-83-C- 2000).

That's why they decided to burn lower-cost heavy oil in their diesels. And why they specified Westfalia Oil Purifiers in preassembled CENTRI-PACK modules to get rid of impurities and water. The result: a whopping 25% sav- ing in fuel costs and longer engine life, because clean oil prevents rapid wear and premature engine breakdown. Bulkfleet chose Westfalia Oil Puri- fiers because of their reliability and high efficiency. In CENTRI-PACK con- figuration, the Puri- fiers come with all accessory components mounted in place—pre-piped and pre- wired, ready for fast, easy installation. CENTRI-PACK also cleans lube oil... gets rid of the carbon and metal par- ticles that can damage diesel engines. This is another boost for engine life, plus solid savings in lube oil expense. Westfalia Oil Purifiers save money wherever fuel or lube oil is used. Ask us for the name of your nearest Westfalia marine distribu- tor... he'll show you how.
