Offers from U.S. shipowners to charter 10 special-type vessels to be the new supply backbone of the

Adm. Arthur R. Gralla, Command- er of MSC, recently stated that the LASH vessels, sea barges and

OBOs that are to be built under the new maritime program "can fulfill a portion of our sealift re- quirements." $1 Million Order

Dredging Conference

To Be Held Dec. 1-3

In New Orleans, La. "A Salute To The Dredging &

Marine Construction Industry Of

North America," has been announced as the theme for the Fourth World

Dredging Conference (WODCON

IV) by the directors of the associa- tion. Scheduled to be held in New

Orleans, December 1-3, 1971, the

World Dredging Conference has com- pleted a full global circuit. Held every 18 months, the conference had its first meeting at the New York

Coliseum in 1967, then Rotterdam in 1968, and Singapore in 1970. WOD-

CON is sponsored by the industry association bearing its name, compris- ing leading dredging industry firms from 20 countries, plus the technical society World Dredging Association, with individual members in over 35 countries.

WODCON IV has chosen this theme to focus upon, and give recog- nition to, the contribution that indus- try has made in the past to the eco- nomic development of North Amer- ica. It will also emphasize the role of dredging in the future develop- ment of the coastal and inland water- way resources.

With national concern being shown for the protection of the environ- ment, the conference will draw pub- lic attention to the interest and capa- bility of the marine construction in- dustry—which includes dredging— as a whole, to play an active role in preserving and cleaning up the ma- rine areas of this continent. It will demonstrate the fact that while alter- ing the environment through keeping channels clear and creating useful land, a simultaneous program will be instituted to protect or enhance the natural ecology.

The various state, regional and na- tional Government agencies concern- ed with coastal and inland waterways, are being invited to participate in this important affair. Attendance will be open to the general public and allied industry. For information, contact

WODCON, P.O. Box 20810, Long
