The acqui- Sea Transport delivers insight en changing industry In a rapidly evolving industry, Sea Transport (4th ed. 1995) offers its readers roots, delivering a meticulous synthesis of past, present and future trends in the maritime transport indus- try. With a brief introduction of the types of vessels, terminology and crews that make up the seafaring industry, Sea Transport delves into more contemporary issues, such as the environment, that are forcing the marine industry to adapt to new reg- ulations. However, it does not lose sight of traditional industry concerns, such as economics. A plethora of sta- tistics, graphs and charts, along with an examination of the economics that govern the industry, fill Sea Transport with information that shipowners and consumers need to know. Sea Transport acts more like a handbook than a text, making it an excellent ref- erence guide for even the most expe- rienced seafarer. Yet it avoids mar- itime jargon, so it can be understood by those who have little knowlege, or are just inquiring about the maritime industry. For information on ordering Sea Transport Circle 31 on Reader Service Card sition is reportedly subject to Caterpillar's completion of due diligence, and to final approval by the companies' boards and appro- priate regulators. A final agree- ment between the two parties is expected to be reached in the third quarter. "MaK's product line rep- resents the state-of-the-art in large diesel engines, and would be a nat- ural extension of the upper end of Caterpillar's diesel engine line," said Donald G. Western, Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the Engine Division. He said that Caterpillar would retain the MaK brand name and operate the company as a dis- tinct unit in association with its engine business. NYK Orders MAN B&W Engines For Containerships Three 5,750-TEU containerships ordered by Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) of Japan will be powered by MAN B&W Diesel's 12K90MC low speed engines. Two vessels will be built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), and Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding (MES) will build the third vessel, as well as the three engines. MAN B&W claims that this order underlines the popularity of large bore MC designs for containership propulsion, extending the refer- ence list for 80MC or 90MC sales in this market to 208 engines.
