The new company, a wholly owned subsid- iary of Gotaas-Larsen Shipping Corp., will be responsible for the marketing of Gotaas- Larsen's liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels and operating capabilities. Kenneth A.B. Trippe, Gotaas-Larsen president, noted that the decision to form a separate LNG com- pany reflects the increasing importance of LNG business to Gotaas-Larsen. Gotaas-Larsen's fleet includes four 125,000- cubic-meter-class vessels for transportation of LNG. Three of the vessels are chartered through the year 1995 to supply natural gas from Das Island, Abu Dhabi, to Tokyo Bay, Japan. The fourth is currently operating in the Indonesia-to-Japan trade. Nevil M.E. Proes, senior vice president of Gotaas-Larsen, will serve as president and director of the new company. Mr. Proes joined Gotaas-Larsen in February 1977, after six years as president of Texas Eastern LNG, Inc., a subsidiary of Texas Eastern Trans- mission Corp., Houston, Texas. He previously served for 34 years in various capacities with Shell International Petroleum Co. Gotaas-Larsen is a diversified shipping company whose other activities include transportation of crude and refined petro- leum products, chemicals, coal and grain. The company also operates semisubmersible drill- ing rigs and has interests in cruise ships, primarily serving Caribbean ports. Its prin- cipal offices are in New York City and Oslb, Norway. IU International is a diversified company serving worldwide ocean shipping, trucking, distribution, utilities, agribusiness and indus- trial markets. LION DANCE FOR HUD — The lion dance, normally only seen in the streets of Hong Kong, recently found its way to the Hamburg Shipcare Exhibition, courtesy of Hong Kong United Dockyards Ltd. (HUD). HUD was one of many companies participating in the exhibition which was attended by shipping management from all over the world. The lion dance was one of the major highlights marking the opening of the exhibition. Ac- cording to David Hall, managing director of HUD, considerable interest in HUD resulted from the exhibition, and there was particular interest in the two-phase Tsing Yi develop- ment project on which HUD has embarked. Mr. Hall looks on as Mrs. S.A. McFarlane of the Shipcare Organising Committee performs the eye-dotting ceremony. 54-IN. DRYDOCK DRAINAGE PUMP 15-IN.
