MarAd Alters Reguirements To

Attract More Marine Officers

The Maritime Administration, deciding to make careers as merchant marine officers more attrac- tive, is offering alternatives to the long-standing requirement that graduates of the U.S. Maritime

Academy serve five years aboard ship following completion of their education.

MarAd henceforth will otfer graduates of Kings

Point four alternatives. One would be six months of service a year for three years, or four months a year for four years.

A third alternative would be three years of ac- tive duty in the uniformed services.

Finally, to encourage further educational effort, 30 days service a year as an officer aboard an active naval vessel for three years would be acept- able if the Academy graduate was in the meantime employed ashore in the maritime industry or en- gaged full time in graduate level work in the mari- time field.

LARGEST AT MARSEILLES: The West-German tanker

Humboldt (shown above) was at Marseilles from the 14th to the 19th of November for guarantee repairs, including work on her main Stal Laval turbine gearing.

The repairs were carried out by Societe Provencale des

Ateliers Terrin, who are service agents for Stal Laval.

The Humboldt is the largest vessel yet to call at Mar- seilles. Built by the Norwegian shipyard Aker, she began operating in early 1970. She is approximately 1,070 feet long by 150 feet wide, and has a deadweight ton- nage of 220,000. Her owners are the Schluessel Ree- derei of Bremen. •Pii u ; .. '..-I. ; u Tr ! m
