Artemis Marine Amends

Application For Catug

Title XI Guarantee

By letter of November 2, 1978,

Artemis Marine Company has amended its application filed

May 9, 1976, for a Title XI guar- antee to aid in financing the con- struction of an integrated tug- barge unit of the Catug (catama- ran-tug) design. Artemis, located at 410 Lakeville Road, Lake Suc- cess, N.Y., is a limited partnership affiliated with the "Berger Group" companies.

The amended application shows the estimated actual cost of the vessel as $54,050,000. Up to 87V2 percent of that amount, or $47,- 293,000, would be eligible for a guarantee.

Originally, the Berger Group had submitted Title XI, construc- tion-differential and operating- differential subsidy applications for two vessels. The Maritime

Subsidy Board recently denied those applications, finding they did not further the purposes and policy of the Merchant Marine

Act of 1936, as amended. (This action was noted in the Press

Book item B78-472, October 24, 1978). The single vessel covered in the amended Title XI applica- tion would engage in domestic trades and would not receive op- erating or construction subsidies.

Livanos Elected To ABS

Management Committee

George P. Livanos, president of

Seres Shipping, Inc., New York,

N.Y., was elected to the Manage- ment Committee of the American

Bureau of Shipping (ABS) by the board of managers at its recent

Semiannual Meeting. Announce- ment of his election was made by

Robert T. Young, chairman of the board of ABS.

A member of ABS since 1965,

Mr. Livanos also serves on the

ABS Greek Technical Commit- tee, and was elected to the ABS board of managers in 1973. The

ABS Management Committee oversees, on a monthly basis, the business of the Bureau on behalf of the board of managers.

Mr. Livanos's company oper- ates large bulk carriers and mini- bulkers—feeder vessels—in many areas of the world.

The American Bureau of Ship- ping is an international ship clas- sification society that establishes standards, called Rules, for the design, construction, and periodic survey of merchant vessels and other marine structures.

We hope you'll never need an emergency night number, but if you do, here are eight you can count on.
