Lister Diesels Appoints James Kolinski President James A. Kolinski Lykes Awards $150-Million Contract To Build Four Containerships In Japan Lykes Bros. Steamship Com- pany of New Orleans last month signed contracts worth more than $150 million for construction of four 2,500-TEU containerships by a joint venture of two Japanese shipyards—Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The 36,762-dwt ships will fly the American flag but will be built and operated without U.S. Gov- ernment subsidy. According to Lykes president W. James Amoss, this was made possible by the co- operation of the four seagoing unions involved, which have agreed to lower manning requirements that compare favorably with for- eign-flag containerships in the trans-Pacific trade where the new Lykes ships will operate. Lykes is also negotiating with the Harland & Wolff yard in Bel- fast for construction of two similar containerships. If that deal falls through, Mr. Amoss has an option to build two additional ships at the Japanese yards. Centrifi-Clean Beats Sandblasting! James A. Kolinski has been ap- pointed president of Lister Diesels Inc., manufacturer of air-cooled diesel and natural gas industrial engines located in Olathe, Kan. The announcement was made by the company's board of directors. Mr. Kolinski comes to Lister from Allis-Chalmers Corporation in Milwaukee where he served as director of corporate planning and marketing services. He replaces Peter S. Y. Jessop, who has been assigned new responsibilities with Lister's parent company in the U.K. Prior to his Allis-Chalmers affil- iation, he held corporate and stra- tegic planning positions with McGraw-Edison and with Interna- tional Harvester. He holds an MBA degree from Western Michigan University. Todd Seattle Awarded $500,000 Phase I Contract For LCAC Program It was announced by John T. Gilbride Jr., vice president and general manager, that Todd Seat- tle has been awarded a Phase I DATA REVIEW AND PRODUC- TION PLANNING contract for the air cushion landing craft (LCAC) follow-on construction program. The LCAC is a high speed air cushion landing craft that will provide transport of personnel and equipment to shore positions from amphibious assault ships sta- tioned offshore. The Phase I award is a fixed price contract totaling $500,000 for review of detail design and construction feasibility for the LCAC follow on construction pro- gram. A preproduction prototype of this craft is currently under construction on the Gulf Coast by the LCAC program's lead contractor. Early in 1985 there will be a Phase II contract based on cost ef- fectiveness and production tech- niques. The fixed price award will be for the construction of one or two vessels with subsequent awards for up to nine vessels per year. U.S. Navy planners foresee up to 90 vessels of this class by 1995. Todd Seattle's expertise in this type of aluminum fabrication was developed during construction of the experimental Hovercraft JEFF- A (a prototype for the current LCAC). Make your own comparison!
