A company spokesman disclosed that AmShip plans to enter the int- er-island trade in Hawaii with American-built, American-flag pas- senger cruise ships that the compa- ny would build and in a joint ven- ture, would own and operate. Tbe vessels would be constructed utilizing the most modern tech- niques of ship construction, and would be the first passenger ships built in a U.S. shipyard by Ameri- can labor in more than 30 years. Commenting on AmShip's plans, a company spokesman stated: "We have been considering this possibili- ty for some time. The Hawaiian Islands trade is a most attractive sit- uation, and we feel that new ships constructed in American yards, manned by American crews, can op- erate successfully there. Our esti- mates show that the first ship could be ready to enter service within 24 months or less." AmShip also announced that fol- lowing a year-long preparatory re- search and development study, it intends to enter the business of pro- ducing "surumi," a paste made eco- nomically from minced fresh fish, high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol, which today is becom- ing one of the fastest-growing con- sumer industries in the world. Suru- mi is a product that is processed from pollack, a fish caught princi- pally in Alaskan waters, which has vast potential due to the range of products in which it can be used, including "imitation" seafood. The company spokesman stated: "The American Ship board has au- thorized proceeding with an ad- vanced phase of involvement of our company in this industry, which should place us in the forefront of American companies involved in this fast-growing industry." Con- struction of the first of the large, oceangoing processing plants to pro- duce the surumi could be completed and in operation within 12 months. The American Ship Building Company is one of the largest ship repair and construction facilities in Florida, and is one of the major builders of barges on the inland waterways, at its Nashville Bridge Company yard in Nashville, Tenn. For further information on Am- Ship's facilities and capabilities, Circle 87 on Reader Service Card Phillips To Elevate Six Norway Offshore Platforms Phillips Petroleum Company said the Norwegian Petroleum Directo- rate has approved Phillips's propos- al to elevate six offshore production platforms in Norway's Ekofisk oil and gas field in the North Sea. The modification project, one of the biggest ever proposed for an off- shore field, is necessary to compen- sate for an increase in water depth caused by a sinking seabed above the Ekofisk reservoirs. Preliminary work on the $286- million project will begin this sum- mer. The actual elevating operation will take place next summer in con- junction with a scheduled 12-day maintenance shutdown. Rockwell-Collins Awarded Contract To Supply Data Links For Spanish Navy A $700,000 contract to supply five Data Automatic Link 11 sets to the Spanish Navy has been awarded to Rockwell International Corpora- tion's Collins Defense Communica- tions (CDC). Under the 14-month agreement, five Spanish Navy Bal- eares Class frigates will be modern- ized with CDC's latest Technical Data System Link 11 equipment, including the TE-237P-1A pro- grammable data terminal set that carries the U.S. nomenclature AN/ USQ-92, and the 373E-2 Data Ter- minal Set Control (C-11494/U). Both units are state-of-the-art com- munications microprogrammable processor technology, and are NATO-compatible, having pre- viously been deployed by five other NATO navies. Link 11 is a long-range, digital data communications network con- necting widely spaced elements of a task force. It provides technical data exchange among surface vessels, shore stations, and aircraft. This exchange of data provides a wider range of surveillance, and multiple reporting of radar tracks in fringe areas, for the command and control of weapons systems, air intercept, and air defense. For free literature containing complete details on CDC's Link 11 equipment, Circle 91 on Reader Service Card Nicor To Sell Barging Operation Subsidiary Nicor Inc. recently announced the signing of a letter of intent with a private investor group that plans to purchase the Houston-based inland barging operation of National Ma- rine Service Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nicor Inc. The purchase is subject to agreement on a definitive contract. Included is a fleet of 143 barges and three towboats that transport petroleum and chemical products along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Mississippi River System. The sale would carry out Nicor's previously announced plan to divest its barging operation in 1986. 62 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
