.ture of the next five years. The shipbuilding lustry, is, however, dogged by the overcapacity d a seeming inability of governments to accept the jnomic realities of the marketplace; instead, subsi- sation is still rife.

The most recent OECD accord on the removal of vernment subsidies requires an end to direct assis- nce by 1996, but it remains to be seen how effective is will prove. Competition for most yards in the ture will be fierce, with newbuilding revenue tend- g to be thinly spread.

Most shipbuilders unable to rely any longer upon iptive markets, as previously existed at corpora- on, national or regional levels, must compete in the obal marketplace. The shipbuilder who is alert to le state of the world economy and the shipping larkets, and able to offer a better deal to prospective astomers will fare best.

Over the next few years there will be important hanges in the product mix of shipyards and in larket share. Newbuilding prices will be affected by lemand and supply side factors, subsidization, legis- ation, inflation and exchange rates, with improve- nents in technological, managerial and marketing )rices playing an important part at the design stage is well as during building.

Less means more. Less weight (up to 40% less than other remote operat- ing gear systems) and less complex installation (single-shaft design) mean more speed, greater payloads and more cost savings (maintenance, repair and opera- tion) for your company. And, our system is remarkably efficient. With as little as 50 ft. lbs. of input you can generate as much as 333 ft. lbs. output torque.

Tested, tried and true. All components are heat resistant, noncorro- sive. Shock- and Vibe-tested. Plus, the Uniflex system is flame tested to API-607 and submergence tested to MIL-STD-81OE. Our growing list of satisfied customers speaks for itself—call for references.
