Mar Ad Approves

Sale Of Tuna Boats

To Foreign Companies

The Maritime Administration has conditionally approved appli- cations filed by subsidiaries of

Zapata Corporation, Houston,

Texas, for the sale of eight U.S.- flag tuna boats to foreign com- panies and transfer of the boats to foreign registry and flag.

Three of the vessels would be sold to Pescamar De Centroamer- ica S.A., a Costa Rican corpora- tion, and operated under Costa

Rican registry and flag. They are the Jacqueline A, owned by West

Indies Tuna, Inc.; the Anna Ma- ria, owned by Anna Maria, Inc., and the Blue Pacific, owned by

Blue Pacific, Inc.

The other five vessels would be sold to Ocean Maid Foods Lim- ited, a Canadian firm, and oper- ated under Canadian registry and flag. They are the Calypso, owned by Calypso Tuna, Inc.; the Con- quistador, owned by World Wide,

Inc.; the City of Lisbon, owned by the City of Lisboa, Inc.; the

Rosa Olivia, owned by Rosa Oliva,

Inc., and the Mary Elizabeth, owned by Maria Elizabeth, Inc.

MarAd listed five essentially identical conditions for the sale and transfer of the vessels, all of which are purse-seiner types. All conditions must be approved by the sellers and buyers before the transfer orders and agreements become final.

One of the requirements is that the purchasers each post obliga- tion bonds. The amounts of the bonds range from $118,500 to $150,000 for the eight vessels.

Another condition concerns the protection of marine mammals.

The purchasers must agree to "conform to the requirements of present or future laws and reg- ulations of the United States governing the protection of the marine mammals in the course of commercial fishing operations, including the Marine Mammal

Protection Act, the Endangered

Species Act, and the Inter-Amer- ican Tropical Tuna Convention as implemented by the Tuna Con- ventions Act, in the same manner as if said vessel were within the jurisdiction of the United States, excepting any quota on the tak- ing of said mammals which may be applicable by its terms to U.S. vessels." c RILEY

MAXIM THERMAL

CIRCULATION

FLASH DESALINATOR

New Maxim" Thermal Circulation

Flash Desalinators operate on a completely different and better principle. Maxim has done away with high speed compressors, seal leakage and frequent shutdowns for acid descaling. Once you start up a Maxim TCF it produces high quality water automatically and un- attended day in and day out. And... it operates efficiently under widely varying engine loads without oper- ator adjustment.

You can also get marine heat ex- changers to make Maxim your single source of responsibility for the whole job.
