sive experience in the marine industry.
AMSEA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the
General Dynamics Corporation, formed to man-
age and operate five Maritime Prepositioning
Ships (MPS) which were constructed by the
former Quincy Shipbuilding Division.
AMSEA was recently awarded three contracts
to be the ship's manager of 12 Ready Reserve
Force (RRF) ships.
Fourth Canadian Shipbuilding
And Offshore Exhibition (CSOE)
Included With CMIA In 1989
The 41st Annual Technical Conference of the
Canadian Maritime Industries Association
(CMIA) (formerly the Canadian Shipbuilding
and Ship Repairing Association) to be held at
Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel, February 20
and 21, 1989, will include the fourth Canadian
Shipbuilding and Offshore Exhibition (CSOE),
CMIA president Jim Clarke recently an-
nounced.
CSOE '89 will give exhibitors an opportunity
to display or explain their goods and services at
the largest technical marine conference in Cana-
da. Exhibitions such as CSOE '89 help bring
together all interested parties in the marine
industry. CSOE has developed into a major
component of the technical conference.
The CSOE '89 exhibition will be located on
the convention floor opposite the technical con-
ference meeting rooms. Exhibition hours will be
2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, February 20, and 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. the following day.
Hitachi Zosen Delivers
755-Foot Containership
The Yamaaki Maru, powered by a Hitachi Zosen B&W die-
sel engine with a maximum continuous output of 32,310
horsepower by 88 rpm, achieved a maximum trial speed of
25.315 knots.
Hitachi Zosen Corporation's Ariake Works
recently completed the containership Yamaaki
Maru and delivered it the same day to its owner,
Palace Container Shipping Corporation.
The ultramodern Yamaaki Maru, approxi-
mately 755 feet long, 104.9 feet wide and 70.5
feet in depth, is capable of carrying 2,832 TEU
containers and 249 forty-foot air-cooled refriger-
ation containers in four tiers on deck. A specially
designed bulbous bow is adopted to save fuel
costs, while a stern bulb is fitted to reduce hull
vibrations.
The main engine is a Hitachi Zosen B&W
9L80MC diesel, the most advanced of its type.
Navigation equipment includes automatic radar
plotting aids (ARPA) and a satellite navigation
system.

Rotary Vane Steering Systems
High performance steering for control and
maneuverability when you need it most.
Wagner Rotary Vane Steering provides precise, dependable rudder control. These compact, efficient steering systems
are proven performers in applications demanding high torque
ratings in a small package.
The compact size, rugged design, and low inertia make the
rotary vane suitable for high performance applications where
I'asi response to steering controls is needed.
Smaller than rapson slide or cylindcr-and-tiller steering
systems hav ing comparable torque ratings, the Wagner rotary
vane actuator conserves space and allows the designer greater
utilization of available hull and deck areas. The Wagner rotary
vane typically requires only 2()'< of the deck area of equivalent
rated cylinder-and tiller system; and only I4'( of the area of an
equivalent rated rapson slide actuator.
