CAPOS 4X status Window Aalborg Ciserv Conference Stresses 'Total Marine Service Concept7 Aalborg Ciserv International A/S (ACI) recently held a conference in Aalborg, Denmark, and Gothenburg, Sweden, for the managing directors and managers of its almost 30 com- panies around the world. Aalborg Ciserv International of- fers shipowners total ship mainte- nance and service—from mast to keel, and the theme for the 1991 ACI Group conference, "Our Answer to Your Needs," carried a strong cus- tomer-oriented attitude. This, along with the ACI Group's "total marine service concept," served as the main core of speeches and discussions during the meeting. The conference also dealt with implementation of the group strategy and with the syn- ergy effect in a group with so diver- sified activities. A debate of quality certification ISO 9001, which may soon apply to all companies in the group, was in- cluded as well. The parent company in Aalborg was the first iron indus- trial company in Denmark to obtain this certification. The Aalborg Ciserv International Group has around 2,000 employees of which more than half are em- ployed in Aalborg.

The unit, 50 meters long (about 164 feet) and weighing 320 tons, was being shipped to a customer in Mauritania. The advantage of complete ship- ment for the customer is extremely brief on-site installation time, since the unit has already been fully tested at the works. This minimizes time lost in dismantling the old and set- ting up the new plant. The new loader is to be lowered from the ship directly onto the quay in its working position and then commissioned in the shortest time. The ship loader is the second unit of this size to be dispatched in one piece by O&K Lubeck. A special ship was chartered for the job from the Dutch Mammoet shipping com- pany.
