The 564-foot-long Monterey will transit via Kristiansand, Norway, where it will be bunkered for the Atlantic crossing to Bethlehem Steel Corporation's Sparrows Point yard in Maryland, for installation of new stabilizers. The Monterey was originally built by Bethlehem Steel at Sparrows Point in 1952 as the first of five Mariner-type cargo vessels. As required by the Jones Act, structural steel work in connection with the conversion has been given to U.S. yards and the outfitting and interior work was done in Finland. After the conversion, the vessel KOS Announces Corporate Changes Thomas P. Tatham, managing director of Braspertise, Limited (Braspertise) a United Kingdom firm, and Joe W. Key, president of Key Ocean Services, Inc. (KOS), a Texas corporation, jointly an- nounced recently that Braspertise will fulfill the present pollution pre- vention rules and regulations. The work included refurbishing the old passenger cabins, addition of 127 new cabins and 22 crew cabins, and extension of public room and technical systems to serve the in- creased number of passengers. A new conference center, veranda lounge, pool area with jacuzzis, lounge and other amenities have been added, and other public rooms were completely renewed. Also, the latest navigation and communica- tion equipment was installed. After a cruise around the U.S. coast to Hawaii, the Monterey will start operating in the interisland Hawaiian cruise market. For literature containing full in- formation on the facilities and capa- bilities of Wartsila Marine, Circle 100 on Reader Service Card has become a major investor in KOS.
