Offshore Exhibition Set For Russia In September NEVA '93 Shipping and Offshore Exhibition, scheduled to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, September 14-18, is already gaining fast-grow- ing support. Proposed maritime changes in Russia could bring the show that much more to the fore- front. Reportedly the Ministry of Mer- chant Marine (Morflot) will soon propose to the Russian government a plan to build 500 ships, of undeter- mined size or type at press time, by the year 2000. The plan is also said to involve the conversion of some military shipbuilding yards to con- struct commercial vessels. NEVA '93 had already registered impressive growth based on the com- mercial opportunities in Russia and the Republics now available to the international maritime industries. Additionally, the national export and fairs organizations of Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy and Nor- way will have national pavilions at the show, while groups of leading maritime companies from France, Greece, Holland, Poland and the U.K. are expected to attend.

Designed to be indestructible, the MV92 series valve features 316 stainless steel construction; perma- nently lubricated threads, located outside the fluid stream, for trouble- free operation; and packing below the threads to prevent contamina- tion.

The new units have been "ruggedized," according to the manufacturer, for the envi- ronmental, noise and reliability de- mands of all types of commercial and pleasure ships, offshore oil rigs, dockside applications and other harsh environment settings. The new transformers are dry- type copper-wound design. For single-phase requirements, they range from 1- to 125-KVA, and for three-phase applications, from 15- to 500-KVA. All units are "off-the- shelf' and available in standard volt- ages.
