Ocean-World, Inc.

Forms Ocean Systems

Advisory Service Div.

Russell S. Delano Sr., president of Ocean-World, Inc., Boston,

Mass., announces the formation of a new division, Ocean Systems Ad- visory Service. To be headquarter- ed in Houston, Texas, the new di- vision will be headed by AHan B.

Rose, former Commander of the

United States Coast Guard and former Captain of the Port of

Houston. Commander Rose, a vice- president of Ocean World, will serve as general manager of na- tional activities for the new divi- sion.

Arthur (Spike) Taylor, also former United States Coast Guard

Commander and former Captain of the Port of Houston, will serve as local manager of the Houston area.

In announcing the formation of this new division, Mr. Delano said: "In our 15 years of experience in combating and controlling over 3,000 oil spills in major ports throughout the country, we have become increasingly aware of mod- ern day needs of ports and harbors.

We feel that Ocean Systems Ad- visory Service is designed to ful- fill many of these needs. "Ocean Systems Advisory Serv- ice will act in an advisory capacity on a national basis to help elimi- nate the many existing problems connected with port traffic. These areas will include port planning and management, traffic control, chem- ical and gas vessel operations and engineering, vessel and cargo sur- veying, and chemical spill abate- ment. In addition, the division will act as a liaison with the multiplici- ty of Government agencies con- cerned with marine environment."
