Phase One of the service development will involve Contship and TMM operating three 2,100-TEU vessels servic- ing the ports Valencia, Barcelona, La Spezia, Miami, Altamira, Houston, New Orleans and Mobile on a fort- nightly basis. Phase Two of the development, planned for commencement in September, will include the addition of a fourth 2,100-TEU vessel, increasing the frequency to every 11 days and allowing for additional geographic cover- age. Operators are understood to be currently evaluating port calls in Gioia Tauro, which would become a hub port to the eastern Mediterranean, together with a U.S. Atlantic coast port call. The five major carriers jointly announced that the strategic alliance will enable them to aggressively strengthen the level of service provided to a broad base of customers trading in the regions.

(left), presents the company's contribution to the Offshore Energy Center (OEC) to Les Mallory, vice president of the OEC board of directors. Offshore Energy Center (OEC) capital campaign leaders announced that more than $333,000 has been pledged by four major operators. The OEC is being developed on jackup rig Ocean Star at Galveston's Pier 19, and is reportedly the only center of its kind dedicated to all offshore segments with interna- tional and domestic operations. The four donor compa- nies are: Amoco Exploration and Production Company; BP Exploration Inc.; Exxon; and Texaco Foundation. Many domestic and worldwide oilfield companies and organizations are discussing contributions during the capital campaign, according to Jerry M. Brown, OEC director and one of the campaign committee chairmen. The OEC is in the process of a $3.2 million capital campaign for funds to transform the retired offshore jackup drilling rig into a museum-like set- ting for use by all segments of international offshore business. When com- pleted, all exploration and production operations will be explained through equipment exhibits, models and interactive displays. Meeting rooms and full guided-tour capabilities have also been included, enabling the center to serve tourism as well as industry functions. 16901 WOOD-RED RD.
