The citation that accompanied

Mr. Goldman's honorary degree said: " 'Innovative' is the word most often used to describe the work of Jerome Goldman. An en- gineer whose designs are as sound as they are original, Mr. Goldman has a reputation in naval architec- ture that is international. His imag- inative approaches to cargo han- dling have done much to improve the efficiency of ocean transport.

His inventiveness also has been turned to offshore oil-drilling tech- nology, playing a major role in de- velopment of petroleum resources.

The industry recently recognized him for his contributions. He is a distinguished member of his pro- fession, an enthusiastic supporter of the University's maritime re- search program, and an active par- ticipant in the civic affairs of his adopted community, New Orleans.

There are other ways of staying safe at sea!

Our advice: throw the lot away and get yourself an inert gas system - probably the most important safety innovation yet for the prevention of explosions aboard tankers.

Inert Gas systems prevent rapid and uncontrolled combustion by replacing the atmospheric air in the tanks with an inert gas containing less than 11% oxygen. With that percentage of oxygen it can't explode.

You don't have to worry about static electricity, radio transmission, impact sparking, electrical faulting, friction, spontaneous combustion, or irresponsible human actions.

Get in touch with Tank S.A.P.P. You get a complete package deal that covers design, survey installation and advice on how to make your tankers the safest afloat.

A Tank S.A.P.P. Inert Gas Safety System is tailormade for every tanker. And Tank S.A.P.P. take total responsibility-fromconcepttostart-up.

Tank S.A.P.P. is an established company, rich in technical expertise, with personnel drawn exclusively from the Marine Industry. As leaders in Marine Safety no one is better qualified to remove you from an explosive situation.
