Joseph R. Burgess To Head

Central Pacific Shipping Agency

Joseph R. Burgess has been named presi- dent of Central Pacific Shipping Agency, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pacific Marine &

Supply Co., Ltd., which has opened new offices at 126 Queen Street in downtown

Honolulu.

The announcement by Steven Loui, exec- utive vice president of the parent company, indicated that both Mr. Burgess's appoint- ment and the move to new and larger quar- ters were first steps in a program of more aggressive marketing planned for the 15- year-old shipping agency.

Following Air Force service in Hawaii,

Mr. Burgess began his career in the mari- time industry with Pacific Marine & Supply in 1966. For the past eight years, he has been with Fred L. Waldron, Ltd., shipping agency division, five years as its manager.

He is a graduate of Honolulu Business Col- lege and the Hawaii Employers Council-

Management/Supervisory courses with a degree in management, as well as data proc- essing and business accounting.

Central Pacific Shipping Agency, accord- ing to Mr. Burgess, offers "fast, comprehen- sive, and competent turnaround services for any ship coming to Hawaii, with full in- house support from one or more of the

Pacific Marine & Supply family of qualified and experienced subsidiaries."

Among the present companies represented by Central Pacific Shipping Agency in Ha- waii are China Union Lines, Mobil Shipping & Transportation Company, National Bulk

Carriers, Taiwan Maritime Transportation

Co., Great Success Shipping Co., and Deep

Sea Ventures, Inc.

LIVING QUARTERS FOR 600—Gotaverken

Cityvarvet repair yard in Goteborg, Sweden, has signed a preliminary contract for the construction of a "Flotel Rig," a platform with living quarters for 600 people. It will be stationed in the North Sea. The customer is a shipping line, owned by Container Safe

AB in Goteborg. The contract is pending the authorities' approval for governmental finan- cial support. The platform, to be delivered in July 1978, is a modified Aker H3 type.

Its living quarters will consist of Container

Safe's own modules, built by the Gotaverken

Group. The assembly work of the platform will take place in Gotaverken Cityvarvet's new 200,000-dwt floating dock in Goteborg.

The order will require about 10 percent of the yard's annual capacity as measured in working hours.
