Inc. (MMS) recently announced the formation of an overseas sub- sidiary, Marine Management Sys- tems (U.K.), Ltd., to provide technical support for its clientele in the United Kingdom and on the Continent.

Headquartered in Stamford,

Conn., MMS specializes in the de- sign and development of com- puterized management systems for the international shipping industry.

Mr. Story added that the new firm is headquartered at the World

Trade Centre in London.

J.M. Colonell Appointed

Senior Project Engineer

For Woodward-Clyde

Woodward-Clyde Consultants has announced the appointment of Dr. Joseph M. Colonell to the position of senior project engi- neer with the firm's Anchorage office.

Prior to joining Woodward-

Clyde, he was affiliated with the

University of Alaska's Institute of Marine Science, where he was professor of ocean engineering.

Before that he held a position as professor of civil and ocean en- gineering at the University of

Massachusetts. Throughout his academic career, Dr. Colonell has also been active as an independent consultant, with emphasis on coastal engineering problems.

As senior project engineer, Dr.

Colonell is responsible for Wood- ward-Clyde's coastal engineering and physical oceanographic ac- tivities in Alaska. His work will focus on the investigation and assessment of environmental forces in the coastal zone includ- ing beach and wave dynamics, pollutant transport processes, and the effects of ice.

He's a good reason to get'blasted'in Savannah.

When Leon Martin sandblasts your ship he gets dynamite results.

Leon is a Leaderman in our

Drydock Department. Which means he has two great qualifications.

He's experienced (27 years at

Savannah). And can be rougher than blasting grit about getting a job done right.

That's the kind of spirit you find at Savannah. It's why we're the best yard to do your major conversions, scheduled drydocking, and voyage repairs.

Sure, we're also competitively priced. And blessed with a climate that lets us run full-bore all year.

But without workers like Leon, our great prices and weather wouldn't mean doodly.

If you want a yard that'll really bust its hump on your job, pick up the phone and give us a blast.
