The German Cartel Office has approved the takeover by ZF Friedrichshafen AG, of the Driv- eline Technology Div. of the Hurth Group of Munich. The acquisition includes marine, rail and truck transmission manufacturing facili- ties in Arco, Italy, and Munich and Gotha, Germany.

ZF now offers a marine transmis- sion product line ranging from 4 to 7,500 kW (5 to 10,000 hp), for a wide range of applications.

To Acquire Tampa Shipyards George and Carl Lorton and Tampa Shipyards Inc., agreed to a contract under which the Lortons will purchase substantially all the operating assets and facilities of the yard, a subsidiary of the American Ship Building Company. The pur- chase, valued at more than $20 mil- lion, including $15 million in out- standing bonds issued by the Tampa Port Authority, must be approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the Port Authority. The Lorton brothers also own International Ship Repair and Ma- rine Services. George Lorton is chairman and president, and Carl Lorton is vice president, secretary and director of the company. George Steinbrenner, who headed the group of businessmen who acquired American Ship in 1967, has personally loaned the yard more than $11.5 million to keep it open and operational. Carl Lorton said the acquisition will allow his company to expand operations and service larger ves- sels. The company plans to operate its businesses separately. The Lortons reportedly do not plan to undertake new construction in ei- ther of their facilities, only repair.
